Honeywell has completed phase one of the Bangalore Safe City Project by installing over 7,000 video cameras powered by artificial intelligence (AI) systems across 3,000 locations in Bengaluru. The cameras will be used by the city police for surveillance, early detection of incidents and real-time data collection for future analysis. A command-and-control center has also been set up as part of the project.

Ashish Modi, President of Honeywell India and Honeywell Building Technologies, Asia, said that the project is an example of how technology can be used to improve the safety and security of citizens while providing city administrators with more informed choices in real-time. CH Pratap Reddy, Commissioner of Police, Bengaluru, added that Honeywell’s solutions will strengthen the city police by improving real-time monitoring of incidents.
AI cameras are increasingly being deployed in several cities in India for surveillance, traffic management and real-time threat detection. For example, over 700 cameras linked to AI systems have been deployed in Lucknow under the smart city project to monitor traffic lights in the city.
