Delhi Metro to Upgrade CCTV Network with AI Surveillance at 76 Locations
The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) plans to upgrade its analogue CCTV system at 76 locations, including major stations and control centers, with AI-enabled IP cameras. The new system will monitor live feeds centrally and use video analytics to detect overcrowding, loitering, camera tampering, and track intrusions with over 90% accuracy. It will also enable searching recorded footage by characteristics like gender and clothing, and track individuals across multiple cameras, even if they change clothes, enhancing safety and surveillance capabilities.
