Supply of security cameras in Melbourne Australia

No one camera supplier has the contract to install all Victorian taxis with security cameras. Instead, the Department of Infrastructure prepared specifications for the quality and operation of the cameras. The specifications set out the features for the operation and installation of the cameras as well as the security requirements.
