AI Cameras Transform Policing In Bengaluru With Real-Time Surveillance

 Bengaluru Police are increasingly relying on artificial intelligence to strengthen law and order management. With more than 9,000 AI-enabled cameras installed across the city, surveillance has evolved into a proactive crime-fighting ecosystem. These cameras feed continuous data into the Command-and-Control Centre, enabling predictive policing, rapid response, and improved coordination with other state agencies.  

The AI system is designed to detect unusual activity, track suspects, and even anticipate potential law and order challenges. In one recent case, a murder accused from Maharashtra who fled to Bengaluru was swiftly identified and apprehended through the city’s AI surveillance network, demonstrating the system’s effectiveness in real-world scenarios.  

Key highlights from the announcement include  

• Deployment of over 9,000 AI-equipped cameras across Bengaluru.  
• Real-time data integration into the Command-and-Control Centre.  
• Technology used for prevention, prediction, and inter-state coordination.  
• AI surveillance helped track and arrest a fugitive from Maharashtra.  
• System enhances traffic monitoring, crowd management, and crime prevention.  
• Move reflects Bengaluru’s role as a pioneer in smart policing initiatives.  

The initiative underscores how technology is reshaping policing in India’s tech capital. By combining AI-driven surveillance with traditional policing methods, Bengaluru Police aim to create a safer urban environment while setting a benchmark for other Indian cities. The integration of predictive analytics and real-time monitoring is expected to significantly reduce crime rates and improve public safety.
