Moscow is adding facial recognition to CCTVs to ID criminals

Moscow's local authorities are giving the city's 170,000 security cameras a power-up. Moscow's extensive network of security cams have been keeping an eye on the city and recording millions of hours of video since 2012. Processing all that footage proved to be a daunting task, however: police officers quickly realized that it was impossible to look through them all to find culprits to arrest. Authorities believe facial recognition is the answer to that problem. The city will use a facial-recognition technology developed by Russian startup Ntechlab.
