The “No CCTV, no permit” policy was first strictly implemented in Quezon City--- the largest city in Metro Manila, Philippines. Now, this policy is being proposed for both private and public sectors throughout the Philippines by congressmen Rodriguez brothers.
The high crime rate in the Philippines has taken a serious toll on the economy, especially the country's tourism industry. The “No CCTV, no permit” ordinance requires businesses wishing to apply for or renew a business permit to install CCTV system. The “high-risk” businesses identified include restaurants, retail stores, theaters, office buildings, hotels, gas stations, and warehouses. Through the mandatory surveillance system, the country wishes to deter crime especially theft and robbery, and to enhance the quality of life.
Having established a local office a year ago, GKB Security Corporation---a Taiwanese brand for the security platform--- is optimistic about the Filipino market in 2014. GKB has successfully increased brand popularity in local regions through continuous efforts on sales and marketing activities including a series of training courses, trade and road shows. “Although the internet infrastructure is not mature in the Philippines, IP surveillance is still the trend. Our strong multi-cloud platforms -NVR 10 , Viewer 11, Mobile App and Cloud NVR software that can withstand an unstable environment, plus the ability to integrate with other auxiliary security systems, make GKB a preferred choice among projects in the Philippines,” commented the GKB marketing team.
With the government's effort and a rising public pursuit for a safer environment, the security market in the Philippines is looking bullish for the coming year!
