Planning a Secure Future: Irex.AI is coming to a city near you

India’s main goal with the project is to use the platform to improve the process of locating criminals, finding missing persons, and even identifying patterns that will help predict and prevent crime in the near future.

The country is doing everything to meet tight deadlines with such a promising project: already, New Delhi has begun preparing for the installation of 330,000 new cameras across the city. The authorities see the project as an opportunity to improve overall public safety in India's biggest city, especially since in recent years, there have been multiple high profile sexual attacks recorded in the city with women and children being the main target. Beyond citywide implementation, facial recognition has already been implemented in Bangalore airport, New Delhi airport, and is being trialed in Hyderabad airport, with the goal of streamlining the security check process.

Amidst this push for facial recognition, implementation and striving for better security and safety measures for a nation of 1.3 billion people, IREX comes in as a perfect fit for the efforts India has been putting into developing an extensive country-wide CCTV network. This emerging company has quickly become a leader in the collaborative security space, offering superior AI video searchveillance technology at an affordable cost with features such as facial recognition, object identification and classification, alarm and sound detection, and multiple camera tracking among others.

What makes IREX stand out is, it’s uniquely suited to accommodate the vast and multiplying amounts of data that result in constant monitoring and real-time surveillance, in addition to database cross-referencing. The solution is completely cloud based for that reason, ensuring maximum cost efficiency while not compromising on scalability. It’s perfectly suitable for India’s multi-state network of cameras and allows the introduction of a single platform that will rely on this CCTV network and ensure continuous surveillance and referencing without the need to worry about data storage issues. Today, IREX already operates over 55,000 cameras in areas ranging from airports to public spaces and even public transit stations. The product’s architecture is based on a private cloud solution, making it possible to immediately connect an unlimited number of cameras at the same time and access it from multiple devices.

While IREX is the perfect solution for India’s public safety goals, it has also introduced unique solutions that will allow the country to tackle another large-scale safety issue: the COVID-19 pandemic. IREX has a number of features that can uniquely contribute to the monitoring and prevention of the virus’s transmission and spread.

With the virus’s possibility of spreading more frequently in crowded spaces, IREX’s AI-powered video technology scans crowds exceeding the suggested number of people in public areas and notifies authorities of the risk through a proprietary alarm system. IREX also has the option to implement thermal cameras that make it possible to identify individuals with elevated body temperature, which is one of the key COVID symptoms, in order to identify the scope of the virus’s spread through contact tracing and avoid further contraction. Throughout the monitoring process, the platform also provides private and public messenger chats for response teams, allowing them to communicate and coordinate their efforts in maintaining public safety.

With India at the forefront of revolutionizing public safety and security by embracing progressive tech solutions, IREX’s solutions can bring the ambitious plans the country sets in front of itself to fruition. At a time when public safety is more important than ever - be it fighting crime, keeping children safe, protecting women, or stopping a virus from escalating - IREX’s technology can play a major role in taking the next step towards creating a safer, more secure, and protected country such as India.
