The sub-delegate (Interior Ministry official) for Cadiz set out in a press conference the government's plans to instal a thermal imaging camera to monitor the Strait of Gibraltar, to facilitate the interception of, among others, immigrants using small craft. The camera detects body heat, allowing it to be used even in complete darkness. However the installation of the equipment would depend on budgetary approval.
