How surveillance in smart cities is becoming hi-tech

Camera sensor technology equipped with video analytics and image analysis is making surveillance in smart cities more hi-tech. 

Surveillance in smart cities is going way beyond the old static CCTV cameras you might be picturing. Camera sensors play a major role in public safety solutions. NEC India has developed robust solutions that use camera sensors to provide live feeds from strategic locations. 

 

Camera sensor technology uses AI software like video analytics and image analysis to detect unusual behavior and manage congestion. The solutions which use video analytics and image analysis can be configured to meet the requirement of smart city surveillance. 

 

The response to emergencies can be made quicker with the help of these sensors. Master system integrators can enable these sensors to deliver real-time data to integrated command and control centers. 

 

Since AI is used in analyzing feeds in real-time to identify objects, people, and even suspicious behavior, it reduces the dependence on personnel. Round-the-clock monitoring of places that remain busy all the time can be carried out with the help of these AI-enabled surveillance solutions. 

 

Apart from detecting unusual behavior, what makes these solutions more effective is that they can be used to identify people using facial recognition software. The software uses AI to match a person’s facial features with the database of criminals. 

 

Congestion management will be possible with the help of a crowd behavior analysis solution. This solution enables the authorities to get an accurate description of the crowd, including the density and direction of flow. 

These solutions use edge computing to process the data, reducing their dependence on centralized cloud servers. Real-time monitoring of crowded places will, therefore, become easier with these solutions. A graphic user interface can be used to generate alerts for the personnel when these sensors detect anything unusual.
