well demand is expected to soar. the economies recover from the crude of ours pandemic. greece has become a testing ground for border surveillance. technology has been developed for european industry and institutions. those technologies are being used to prevent refugee crossings from neighboring turkey stones or all philos reports in the border between the 2 countries. the european border and coast guard or from tech's uses unmarked vehicles to patrol a heavily sense section of the greek turkish border. they are the human element among increasingly sophisticated european surveillance technologies being tested here, such as these tele mounted cameras, capable of penetrating kilometers into turkish territory, day and night. if i should wear the scar medicine, camera monitoring is automated through a program that processes the images recognizes what is approaching and sounds the alarm. it mainly distinguishes people in vehicles,
5:25 pm
which is what concerns us and cross border crime. and the, the, the crime in question is illegal entry from turkey, including crossings by refugees from the banks of the everest river, which separates the 2 countries. 15 of these cameras will monitor the entire 200 kilometer length of the greek turkish border by the end of the year. they can detect people hiding behind trees and bushes, and there, supplemented by radar, unmanned aerial vehicles and graham sensors. surveillance was stepped up after march last year when turkey reneged on an agreement to hold back refugees from the european union. instead, it encouraged them to storm the greek border. but security concerns go back much further. in 2010, 36000 people entered greece illegally across the land border with turkey 26000 of them along the 12 kilometer stretch behind me. 2 years later, the greek armed forces erected a double chain link fence, 3 meters tall along these 12 kilometers. and after last year's events,
