Awiros to empower ‘Bangalore Safe City’ project with its AI-based video analytics

Awiros to provide advanced video analytics for high-resolution surveillance cameras for the Bengaluru Safe City project. The project aimed at bolstering law and order for the Bengaluru citizens, especially women, in the city is being implemented under the aegis of Bengaluru City Police (BCP). Bengaluru is one of the eight cities across India that has been chosen by the Ministry of Home Affairs to create a safe, secure and empowering environment for women and girls in public places and is backed by the Central government’s Nirbhaya initiative. Honeywell Automation India is the Master Systems Integrator (MSI) of the Bengaluru project.

Awiros’ AI-based Video Intelligence platform, facial recognition system, automatic number plate recognition and other Video AI applications are going to empower analysis of video feeds of over 7000 cameras spread across 3000+ locations in the Bengaluru city. The video analytics system provided by Awiros will process and analyse the video feeds and identify persons and vehicles of interest as per the requirements of the city police. This will enable Bengaluru City Police to undertake real-time monitoring and situational analysis, and take timely actions to any potential crime being committed by offenders for the safety of the citizens, particularly women and children.

Elaborating on the notable features of the project, Yatin Kavishwar, Co-Founder and COO, Awiros, said, “At Awiros, we are committed to developing state-of-the-art AI-enabled Video intelligence technology which will significantly empower authorities and law enforcement agencies. We are honoured and excited to be part of this project, as for the very first time, an 100% indigenously developed and true make-in-India technology in Video AI space will be deployed for citizen safety initiatives at such a massive scale. It would be a game changer in women and child safety as verification of suspect identity, real-time intelligence gathering, attribute-based search and monitoring of criminals and suspects throughout the network of cameras in the city will be available on demand”.

Awiros is a part of the start-up India programme and is carrying out key deployments in India including more than 14 smart and safe cities where Awiros Video AI solutions are collectively deployed across more than 50,000 AI channels.
