Abstract
Hay muchos trabajos que han medido el impacto que tienen en la disuasión de los delitos la instalación de cámaras urbanas de video vigilancia, pero sus resultados son contradictorios entre sí, además se debe considerar que ha sido un tema poco estudiado en países en vías de desarrollo. El presente artículo analiza la capacidad de las cámaras urbanas para reducir los delitos en la Ciudad de México en el periodo 2008-2012. Para ello se construyó una línea base en 2008 en el que ninguno de los sectores policiales contaba con cámaras, después se contrastó la diferencia entre la línea base y el porcentaje de delitos en cada sector para los cortes temporales 2009, 2010, 2011 y 2012, mediante regresiones lineales (MCO), tomando como variable explicativa la cantidad de cámaras de cada sector, pero no se obtuvo evidencia que permita afirmar que la instalación de cámaras tuviera algún efecto en la reducción de los delitos.

This article analyzes the capacity of urban cameras to reduce crime in the City of Mexico in the period 2008-2012
I built a baseline for 2008, where none of the police sectors had installed cameras, the difference was compared between baseline and the percentage of crimes in each sector of temporary cuts 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012, by linear regression (OLS), using as an explanatory variable the number of cameras in each sector, but no evidence was found to suggest that the installation of cameras had some effect in reducing crime
Summary
Many studies have measured the impact in the dissuasion of the crimes by the installation of cameras of urban video surveillance, but the results thereof are contradictory, it should be considered to have been a subject little studied in development countries.
