The National Control and Reaction Center (Centro Nacional de Mando y Reacción – CENMAR)  for security in residential facilities for child welfare and development (Estancias de Bienestar y Desarrollo Infantil – EBDIs) is a monitoring system by video-surveillance interconnected via sensors by means of more than 8,700 devices, including intrusion, motion, temperature, smoke and gas sensors, the latter being the most important because once triggered, the gas supply is automatically shut off until the incident is resolved. In addition, the center is connected to the national meteorological and seismological system (Sistema Meteorológico y Sismológico Nacional – Mexico) as well as NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) based in Miami, to receive in real time of alerts, alarms and notifications on cold fronts, gusts of wind, hurricanes or thunderstorms, among others.

The main objective of the national control and reaction center (Centro Nacional de Mando y Reacción – CENMAR) is to safeguard the physical integrity of children, so we have correlated the biometric data of more than 47,000 parents or guardians with children, by means of fingerprint and image readers, which are authorized for both the entry and exit of the child, thus preventing the wrongful abduction of the minor.
