Due to the high levels of crime and people’s concerns about insecurity, there is a growing demand for security equipment. Alejandro Camber, who sells such equipment at the electronics store called Steren in the San Carlos sector of Santo Domingo, told El Caribe reporters that security cameras and recorders can sell for as much as RD$29,000. He also said that there is a growing demand for this type of equipment. At Megatone Electronics, also in San Carlos, the employees confirmed the increased demand for security equipment. The cameras are not only sold to customers, they are used for security purposes in the stores themselves, according to the newspaper. www.elcaribe.com.do/2013/09/19/poblacion-torna-mas-vigilante
