Video surveillance technology and city-wide surveillance systems in Mumbai could provide several benefits. Such a system could monitor activity across the city in real-time for security purposes like detecting suspicious vehicles or criminal behavior. It would require hundreds of cameras, networking infrastructure, and analytics software. A surveillance system would help authorities with law enforcement, disaster response, and infrastructure monitoring while providing increased safety and traffic information for citizens. However, continuous video monitoring raises privacy issues that would need to be addressed.

1. Video Surveillance Technology
and
City Surveillance for Mumbai

2. what is video
surveillance?
Present Implementations?
• Human detection systems.
• Vehicle monitoring systems
• Monitoring of Critical non movable assets

3. Importance of Video
Surveillance System
 Video surveillance has been a popular security tool for years. And
thanks to new breakthroughs in technology, security cameras are
more effective than ever before;
 Banks, retail stores, and countless other end-users depend on the
protection provided by video surveillance;
 Fortunately, advances in digital technology have made video
surveillance systems far more cost-effective, flexible, and simple
to operate;
 Security systems using IP (Internet Protocol) cameras are easy to
install and maintain, and can be customized and scaled to
perfectly match your specific needs.

4. Security
Threats
Vehicles with Suspicious behavior
explosive payload that leads to violent
crime;
Suspicious behavior Access control
that leads to breaches (human
financial losses and vehicle).

5. Is
surveillance a
threat ?
 Continuous video of all locations
within the district may be
perceived as a security threat;
 This is actually a security
mechanism;
Prevention is better than
cure

6. Why city
Surveillance
?
• To have a video security blanket across the
district;
• To be able to monitor activities in any part
of the district in real time;
• For automatic alarms for suspicious events;
• To be able to playback past events after the
occurrence and to locate / trace vehicles,
objects or people.

7. Benefits of Video
Surveillance
System
 Proactive actions (Preventive Surveillance);
 Full surveillance with less personnel. (Cost reduction);
 Verification (recording) of events;
 Additional tool against crime;
 Low operational cost;
 Cost effectiveness for escalating system;
 Flexibility to escalate system to unlimited number of cameras.

8. Resources
Required
• Cameras: Hundreds of cameras across the District;
• Camera Mounting;
• Bandwidth and Connectivity: To take the video feeds to central monitoring
locations;
• High capacity servers at the monitoring location to save the captured
video streams;
• Sophisticated video analytics software to analyze the videos and do value-
addition such as raising of alarms, recognition of people and objects and
so on;
• Mechanism to disseminate video-derived intelligence to officers on the
ground;
• Ability to combine video feeds with other sources of intelligence –
communication intercepts and, most of all, human intelligence.

9. Project
Benefits
to
Mumbai
• A Disaster Information and Planning System without
investing any money;
• A Law-And-Order monitoring system;
• Personnel locating potential – for criminals,
Missing children and others : Would entail use
of facial recognition technology;
• Video records can serve as evidence in
street crime cases;

easily detected;
• Any digging / development activity on streets can be centrally
monitored / recorded;

bridge and other infrastructure creation;

11. Additional
Benefits
(2/2)

before the clogging leads to water logging;
• Monitoring of water logging in real time can help with planning of
sewage and drainage systems;
• Garbage pile-up, malfunctioning street lights, etc. can be detected;
• Noise / air pollution measurement equipment for real estate and
development planning;
• Polluting establishments can be detected and brought to book.

12. City
Infrastructure
s

13. Benefits to
Other
City Agencies
• Police can know the health of roads if they need to reach a

15. Benefits
to
Local
Associations
• Gives Local Association an opportunity to have prominent citizens voice

16. Opex Model
for
Video-blanket
Model
 The source of funding to meet this huge expenditure would be through Public –
Private – Partnership (PPP) Module;
 Or, the local renowned body/association will shoulder the expenditure and Police
Department of Thane District will provide security service on real-time on 24x7
basis by coordinating with Micro ICCS developed and operated by MTIL;
 The part of the expenditure can be realized through advertisement by using the
allocated empty space above the cameras installed at various locations in the district.

17. Future Value
Added Services
• Automatic recognition of car numbers as a location service;
• Video record of accidents to be used for insurance claims – insurance
companies pay for such videos;
• Policing the streets for parking and other offences – issuance of no parking
/ no stopping tickets using such cameras;
• Car parking services. When on a street, call our number and we will use the
