Signs alert the public to the city's new security cameras in Chinatown

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – Have you seen these new signs around Chinatown?

About 40 signs warn motorists and pedestrians about new security cameras that have been or are being installed in the Chinatown neighborhood.

The new high-tech, high-resolution cameras have a 360-degree view, can track movements and are equipped with LED lighting and sirens.

The city said HPD may make announcements over a loudspeaker system and the digital recording will be retained for 30 days.
