Smart City Authority optimises public safety, asset security, and traffic management with Videonetics solution
Industry Segment: Safe & Smart City
Project Location: Safe & Smart City
One of the prominent towns in Arunachal Pradesh, India, made it into the Government of India’s Smart Cities Mission development scheme with a vision of building a well-managed clean, green, and environment-friendly city. This city is envisioned to possess a character of its own, defined by scenic beauty, intellectual capital, and eco-friendly tourism through sustained economic growth for all its citizens. The target is to create a replicable role model that can act like a lighthouse to other aspiring towns of Arunachal Pradesh.
The town is fast becoming a bustling tourist attraction in Arunachal Pradesh. Before this the town had a limited deployment of CCTV cameras, and the system was not well suited to even conduct any investigations if an unwanted incident were to happen. Over the past few years, the town has witnessed a high influx of students, visitors, and tourists. Understandably, infrastructure has also shown rapid growth, and hence local authorities understood the need for an advanced solution.
The official body formed to execute the vision of a safe city wanted to implement a comprehensive surveillance solution to monitor law and order situations, road safety, identify miscreants, protect public and private properties, and improve urban amenities. A project team comprising officials of the governing body, Videonetics, and system integration partners, carried out extensive research to identify important spots around the town and prepared a comprehensive surveillance strategy.
Operators in the command & control centre monitor over 180+ locations across the town with Videonetics VMS using multi-layer GIS maps for a clear view of cameras spread across the geography. This covers areas like government establishments, public areas, airport, railway stations, schools, parks, markets, and roads.
Videonetics designed a versatile & unified solution that includes Video Management System, AI-powered Video Analytics, Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR) System, & Face Recognition System (FRS).
Examples of AI-powered analytics:
The open and modular architecture of the solution allows the city to keep adding more applications to strengthen traffic management and unify city surveillance under one platform.
The town today has become a shining beacon emblematic of a truly Safe & Smart City, as the Unified Video Management Platform of Videonetics has successfully provided tools to multiple agencies to solve real challenges beyond basic monitoring.
Accessing vehicle details with ease: Videonetics’ Vehicle License Plate Recognition (ANPR or ALPR) application is deployed across 34 locations such as inter-city roads, intersections, and highways. This captures and records vehicle licence plates of any class and stores them in the database for investigations. It helps identify suspicious or wanted vehicles and has been helpful in solving stolen vehicle cases.
