A Chinese city of more than 12 million, one of the nation's most populous, is deploying 500,000 CCTV cameras to crack-down on crime.

The Peaceful Chongqing project will see cameras deployed across half a million neighbourhoods and parks over some 600 square kilometres in Chongqing, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Cisco will supply network equipment in conjunction with other US organisations under legal provisions that allow companies to supply China with surveillance equipment. Sources close to the deal told the Wall Street Journal that Cisco was close to sealing the deal. The networking giant rejected that it had customised the equipment to help China track dissidents.
