Agent Vi’s Video Analytics Enable Increased Security, Faster Investigations, Better Traffic Management & Proactive Policing in Pune, India

“Agent Vi’s video analytics have improved surveillance operations as unviewed cameras are automatically monitoring and alerting for exceptional behavior.”

CEO, Integrated Solutions Group, Allied Digital

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.

Agent Vi Helps to Decrease Traffic Congestion and Increase City Revenue in City of Zagreb

“We selected Agent Vi’s video analytics because we could guarantee the product and the system’s quality to our customer. We, as the systems integrator, and the City of Zagreb, as the customer, are pleased with the end result.”

Senior Sales Manager, King ICT

Challenge

The City of Zagreb, Republic of Croatia, has some 800,000 residents and a bustling city center. With heavy traffic of vehicles and pedestrians, the city sought a solution for better traffic management, increased safety and more effective enforcement of traffic laws. In particular, the city sought to deal with illegally parked vehicles on footpaths, recognizing that drivers who stop in unauthorized areas and on footpaths pose a safety hazard and prevent the orderly flow of traffic.

Solution

Nearly 90 cameras at critical traffic points and intersections were enabled with savVi’s Real-Time Event Detection capabilities. The seamless integration of savVi with the Axis network cameras and Genetec Security Center, coupled with the integration with the municipality ERP system and national car registry database, provides the City of Zagreb with a best-of-breed solution that enables them to capitalize on their surveillance system investment, while increasing road safety.

Result

The deployment of the surveillance system, including savVi, has resulted in a reduction of traffic violations by more than 50%. Previously, the city relied on on-site traffic monitors to catch offending vehicles. The automatic detections made by savVi eliminate the need for human monitoring, and allow for more effective detection of illegally parked cars. More parking tickets have been issued and the City of Zagreb has tripled its revenue from traffic violations as a result of savVi’s introduction.
