Chennai Police Deploy AI-Based Security Network
Shankar Jiwal, the Greater Chennai Police Commissioner, inaugurated an integrated command and control centre (ICCC) under the Chennai Safe City Project (CSCP) on the premises of the Commissioner’s office in Vepery on Friday.
Under the project, 5,250 CCTV cameras are being installed at 1,750 key locations throughout the Greater Chennai Police (GCP) limits, and the live feeds from all of these cameras will be monitored at this centre.
In the first phase, the feed from 4,008 CCTV cameras installed at 1,336 locations will be viewed at the ICCC. Furthermore, CCTV camera feeds can be viewed 24 hours a day, seven days a week at the Commissioner’s office in Vepery. This will be monitored by ICCC personnel.
The Commissioner announced the deployment of a state-of-the-art technology and artificial intelligence-based software system in the network, providing analytics features and alerts for immediate action on crimes like snatching harassment, and vehicle theft. The AI-based software ensures women’s safety by analyzing camera feeds and alerting the ICCC for appropriate action, even in case of SOS gestures. The video feeds will be stored in a data center and replicated in a data recovery center, with live monitoring available at the offices of six Joint Commissioners of Police and 12 Deputy Commissioners of Police.
