VIJAYAWADA: Andhra Pradesh has rolled out the AI-powered CCTV360 Real-Time Governance System across all 28 districts, creating an integrated surveillance network for policing, traffic management and governance.
Developed by Videonetics, the platform combines video management, AI-based analytics, automated traffic enforcement, e-ticketing and facial recognition into a single operational system. About 15,000 IP cameras have been installed at strategic locations, transmitting live feeds to command-and-control centres across the state.
The traffic management system is operational at more than 680 major intersections, automatically detecting violations such as over speeding and signal jumping while identifying blacklisted vehicles. Nearly 1,000 locations have been equipped with facial recognition technology linked to approved national databases and integrated with the state's criminal records and traffic enforcement systems.
According to officials, the system has already aided several investigations. A two-wheeler stolen in Bapatla was traced through the automatic number plate recognition system and recovered in Tenali within three hours. Two missing 11-year-old children from Yelamanchili were identified at Visakhapatnam railway station through facial recognition and reunited with their families within four hours.
The platform also helped police trace a non-bailable warrant accused at Tirumala Bus Stand within 81 minutes of detection through facial recognition. In another case, a woman missing from Anantapur for more than a month was traced at Puttaparthi on the day a statewide alert was issued.
Officials said the integrated surveillance network has contributed to quicker investigations, improved crime detection and safer roads through automated traffic enforcement.
IG, operations, Ch. Srikanth said the platform had significantly improved recovery of missing persons, apprehension of offenders and inter-district intelligence sharing. SP Malika Garg said automated alerts reduced response time and improved coordination during investigations.
Videonetics vice-chairman and managing director Naresh B Wadhwa said the deployment demonstrated the role of artificial intelligence in strengthening governance, public safety and urban mobility.
