Challenge
Although one of India’s safest cities, the City of Pune remains at risk for potential theft and crime, as well as being one of India’s most traffic-congested cities. Prior to the deployment of a new city surveillance system, action and response were delayed, traffic was not monitored properly, and investigative personnel costs were high. The Pune City Police Department sought a solution to streamline video monitoring and review by enabling operators to receive automatic alerts, respond quickly and investigate incidents efficiently.
Solution
Systems integrator Allied Digital installed a state-of-the-art surveillance system at the city’s new Command and Control Center with Verint VMS integrated with GIS/GPS, LPR, and Agent Vi video analytics. 1,320 fixed IP cameras in key city locations were enabled with savVi’s Real-Time event detection capabilities to alert immediately upon detecting traffic violations and unusual crowd behaviors, as well as with video search for rapid post-event investigations.
Result
The effect of using Agent Vi’s video analytics was felt almost immediately, as it enabled PCS operators to receive automatic, real-time alerts for security breaches and unusual behaviors such as loitering, crowding, and unattended objects. In addition, within a year, the city benefited from revenue on traffic tickets, with video analytics playing a crucial role in detecting infractions. Human resources are now deployed more effectively, with video analytics used to investigate cases of theft, burglary and homicide.
