DBKL: We don’t have facial recognition tech


Keeping an eye: A security camera on the streets of Kuala Lumpur.

KUALA LUMPUR: Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) does not have facial recognition analytics for its CCTV cameras in the capital, as that would require linking its cameras with a facial recognition software and a database with identification details.

A DBKL spokesman said: “For such a system to work, two things are needed – a CCTV system with facial recognition analytics and a database where a person’s identification is collected and stored, in this case the facial features together with personal details.
