Tulum Expands Video Surveillance Network to More Than 1,850 Cameras

Tulum, Quintana Roo — Tulum Mayor Diego Castañón Trejo visited the city’s Command and Control Center (C2) to review security operations, confirming that the municipality’s video surveillance network now exceeds 1,850 active cameras, up from 400.

Castañón said the digital expansion has been key to improving police response times and strengthening public safety across the municipality, including areas frequented by tourists.

According to municipal officials, the combination of advanced technology, business community support and coordinated institutional work has produced immediate results, including an 80% reduction in homicides.

The deployment of analytical cameras at strategic points has reinforced smart patrolling efforts, according to authorities. The infrastructure allows officials to detect criminal activity more quickly, act faster in emergencies, and better protect tourist zones.

Castañón added that the city will continue expanding the surveillance network and integrating new digital tools to monitor the entire municipality on an ongoing basis.

“We fortify our video surveillance network by connecting more than 1,850 cameras from the C2, achieving an 80% reduction in homicide rates,” Castañón wrote on X. “We thank the business sector for joining this effort. We keep working for a safe Tulum.”
