The six towers will
be up to 50m (164ft) high and will stream images to Polish guards monitoring
the 200km (124-mile) border, the PAP agency says.
The total cost is
reported to be 14m zloty (£2.5m; $3.8m), with 75% coming from the EU's External
Borders Fund.
The move follows
reports that Russia has
deployed missiles to Kaliningrad .
The reported
deployment by Russia of
short-range Iskander missiles comes amid heightened tensions with the West and
Nato over Ukraine .
Polish border guard
spokesman Miroslawa Aleksandrowicz told PAP: "We are currently in the test
phase of the technical installations on the towers.
"We plan to be
fully operational by June this year."
Last year 3.2
million Poles and 3.3 million Russians passed through the border crossings, PAP
reports.
