Located in the extreme eastern part of India, the second largest city of Nagaland boasts a resident population of almost 100,000 and spans 20 square kilometres. It is at an elevation of 1444 metres with majorly mountainous terrain. The city is constantly expanding, with more and more people migrating to this city for better work opportunities and standard of living. Moreover, it is a popular tourist destination of Nagaland with museums, cathedral churches, botanical gardens to name a few. Therefore, tourism also plays an important role in the city’s economy.
The city is becoming a hot spot for tourists and the need for effective monitoring of the key locations, prevent crime and ensure citizen and tourist well-being became very important. An extensive survey of the city was carried out to find out the key security issues being faced by city administration and identify sensitive places that need surveillance attention.
In its mission to become a smart city, the officials were looking for an intelligent surveillance solution that is intuitive, future-ready and scalable. It was especially critical to choose a solution that could keep up with the city’s expansion and growth. The administration was keen to have an open platform that would help them add more capabilities and applications over time.
With these goals in mind, Videonetics designed a bespoke and modular AI powered unified solution based on its Intelligent VMS and Video Analytics for the city.
Automating surveillance of strategic locations
After a thorough analysis, the city decided to deploy 100+ cameras, including PTZ and box cameras, at 90 strategically identified locations, which are being managed by state-of-the-art Videonetics Intelligent VMS. These cameras have been placed at planned and sensitive areas such as important traffic junctions, city roads, outside government offices, exit and entrance of the city, common grounds, near crowded marketplaces, helipad, and more.
Videonetics Intelligent VMS allows administration to ensure comprehensive round-theclock monitoring of the city infrastructure and proactively detect and address any
developing problem.
The smart and user-friendly navigation of Intelligent VMS enables city operators to easily monitor and analyse live and recorded videos simultaneously in the same interface. This feature is particularly helpful while supporting the law enforcement agencies quickly leading to rapid resolution of the problem. With its multi-layer sitemap interface, operators can quickly select cameras from the pool, helps in keeping bird eye view of camera distribution across the city.
Accelerating the response time with AI powered Video Analytics
By deploying Videonetics AI enabled video analytics as part of the solution, the decision makers receive alert on live video feeds, that has drastically reduced the amount of time it takes to understand the potential level of threat and enhanced monitoring of restricted-access areas. Therefore, they selected key analytics for some of the sensitive places, in the first phase of project.
