What is a public safety solution, and how can a smart city use them?

Public safety solutions can be used in a smart city to ensure better security. They help authorities to take action before the situation gets out of hand.

A public safety solution makes use of advanced technologies to detect unwanted activities like intrusions. They often use AI-powered video analytics to identify anything unusual in the vicinity. NEC India has developed several public safety solutions for smart cities.

The solutions developed by the IT solutions provider can be used at airports, railway stations, and other critical places to ensure better security. These solutions can be used to raise alarms if there is suspicious activity like loitering or sudden running. It can also differentiate between normal objects and unidentified objects.

Behavior detection and congestion management solutions have been developed by the IT solutions provider, keeping in mind public safety. The Behavior detection solution uses efficient image analytics to detect abnormal behavior automatically.

Real-time detection of crowd behavior is possible with the congestion management solution. It helps in real-time estimation of crowd flows by using CCTVs. Flow quantity, flow direction, and congestion rate can be ascertained using the solution.

Congestions can lead to stampedes, causing deaths. The solution helps authorities take action before things get out of hand.

Since Behavior Detection Solution supports third-party cameras, it can integrated into the legacy system. The solution is ONVIF compliant, ensuring interoperability and communication between different brands and types of network video devices and systems. 

These solutions will reduce the costs of recruiting manpower. Simultaneous monitoring of more than one CCTV is possible. The user-friendly GUI generates alarms when an unusual activity is detected.

The solution can also be used in a smart city for policing. In addition to video analytics, CCTVs can be integrated with a face recognition system, which helps in the identification of suspicious persons. A network of CCTVs with NeoFace biometrics is being installed in Delhi. The network is expected to help solve cases of burglaries and thefts.
