Port Moresby CCTV Command and Control Centre
In September 2025, PNG's Prime Minister James Marape and Port Moresby's National Capital District Commission launched the country's first citywide CCTV Command and Control Centre, replacing a partly non-functional network from the 2018 APEC summit. Roughly 100 cameras, including ANPR units, feed a joint NCDC-police monitoring room at the Alu Haus complex; independent reporting describes AI-assisted facial and vehicle-owner recognition, a capability the official launch statement did not confirm, framing the footage instead as investigative leads.
