So Christian Estrosi has written to Prime Minister Manuel Valls to request legalization of the use of this technique by surveillance cameras.
To monitor the “fan zones” during the Euro-2016, the city of Nice has tested facial recognition surveillance system. “This is the automatic recognition of a person through his face,” said Mr Estrosi told a news conference. “If a person is in the wanted persons file and is detected by the camera, the alarm is given” and the person stopped.
“This is a totally different system from that provided in the airports of Paris Charles de Gaulle and Lyon Saint-Exupéry, where it is simply to compare the face with a picture of a passport. Here, this system, if extended to all cameras of the city after the Euro, could also detect a missing person or runaway, “he added. The system was developed in partnership with Engie companies (providers of town to the network of cameras) and Nec, who developed the facial recognition software.

“But today, said Christian Estrosi, the law does not link the file of wanted persons or people stuck S this recognition software facial, so it requires a legislative evolution. But the government can go fast and record next week, if he wants this text to the agenda of Parliament. “
The cost of the installation concerned for 18 cameras the fan zone of Nice, would be at 25 000 per camera equipped with the software, 400 000, at the expense of the local community, which could also benefit from state aid, the department or in the region, according to Christian Estrosi, as is already the case for the current cameras.
