The national video monitoring system has been launched in two cities of Kazakhstan.The innovative project was developed in cooperation with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the National Security Committee and the Ministry of Digital Development, Innovation and Aerospace Industry.The national video monitoring system using artificial intelligence technologies makes it possible to recognize wanted persons, signal abandoned objects in public places, and record offenses in automatic mode. Computer vision also allows you to identify vehicles by make, model and color.Objects such as railway stations, airports, hotels, streets, intersections, shopping malls are under the close attention of “smart” cameras.Digital “watchmen” have already shown their effectiveness. During the World Nomad Games in Astana, it was possible to quickly find children lost in the crowd, as well as registered and missing persons.46 wanted offenders were promptly identified and detained using the video analytics system in Astana. Similar work is being carried out in Almaty, where 30 such persons have been identified and detained to date.The technologies being introduced are a new step towards creating smart cities, which will increase public safety and reduce crime. Similar systems are actively used in China, Russia and European countries. Kazakhstan is confidently becoming a part of this global trend, adapting the best practices. In the future, it is planned to expand video monitoring with an increase in the number of cameras. This will happen in stages.By the way, today, regardless of the form of ownership, there are 1 million 359 thousand video cameras in the country, of which 310 thousand have been withdrawn to the Central Control Center and police duty stations.Innovative opportunities are a great help in combating crime and ensuring public safety in crowded places. The main goal of the implemented systems is to create conditions for every citizen to feel protected in a society where law and order prevail.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/qriim/press/news/details/886756
