The Domain Awareness System was a surveillance developed as part of Lower Manhattan Security Initiative in a partnership between the New York Police Department and Microsoft to monitor New York City. This allows them to track surveillance targets and gain detailed information about them. The system is connected to 3,000 or more video cameras around New York City.
The system will be licensed out to other cities with New York City getting 30% of the profits.[1] The system's development costs are estimated at 40 million USD.[2]
This system is highlighted in a May 2013 PBS Nova program on tracking the Boston Marathon Bombers.
