Transforming Urban Safety with TRASSIR’s City Surveillance Solutions

Cities of the Middle East region are also actively adopting
AI technologies to keep up with the
expanding number of urban threats

Everyone wishes to live in a safer city, a place that gives its residents and visitors a secure vibe to live, work, and travel without any security fears. The changing world does not allow the CCTV business to stand still. To survive, it must constantly evolve, and new technologies come to the rescue against new threats.

TRASSIR’s AI-Powered Urban Safety Solutions

TRASSIR understands that it is not enough just to equip the buildings and the outer premises with cameras to call the city a safe place. In addition to the cameras, an intelligent security system is usually required that can correctly interpret and analyse surveillance images and videos and inform people in charge, so that the right actions could be taken in a timely manner. TRASSIR is an AI Video surveillance and security systems and software developer since 2002 that invests a lot of resources in AI technology development at the moment. AI is transforming value to all city agencies from public health, urban planning, and transportation to public services and safety. Let’s take a closer look at the various city sectors and use real examples that show how TRASSIR AI-based analytics can help solve a variety of metropolitan challenges and transform urban safety.

Surveillance cameras installed in public places can protect from a lot of urban threats, such as burglaries, pickpocketing, sexual assault, vandalism, or child trafficking – these are just some, and there are so many others. Furthermore, in the event of a public health emergency, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, data can be gathered via AI-powered video surveillance on whether people are wearing face masks (TRASSIR Face Mask Detector) or following social distancing rules (TRASSIR Crowd Detector).

Educational institutions are usually areas of increased visitor activity, and a good example is the Islamic University of Madinah, which was established by the government of Saudi Arabia by royal decree in 1961 in the Islamic holy city of Medina. TRASSIR was able to upgrade and replace the security system there and improve overall security by installing TRASSIR Neuro Counters and Workplace Detectors. The TRASSIR CCTV system is now being used to monitor the activities of students, staff, and visitors, and helps to ensure security and discipline.

TRASSIR modules can also significantly reduce the burden on security services, giving them more time to respond to serious incidents during major festivals and celebrations, which typically gather large numbers of people. The Saudi Feast Festival, the largest of its kind in the Middle East, which was held from December 12, 2022, to December 29, 2022, hosted visitors in a unique experience to consolidate and preserve Saudi cuisine. Thanks to the TRASSIR Neuro Counter functionality, the event coordinators were able to obtain attendance statistics, in particular the total number of visitors, create a portrait of the visitors, and divide them by age and gender for event statistics.

Only Diverse Portfolio Can Secure Every Corner

Religious public institutions in large cities also require a high level of security for all visitors and staff, as well as protection against terrorism, vandalism, and anti-social behavior. Kuwait has very high security requirements, so the choice of TRASSIR CCTV systems for the Bin Nabhan Mosque is certainly a victory for the company in the global market. It is a well-preserved architectural monument, a center of tourism and pilgrimage for believers. By installing TRASSIR Neuro Detector, cameras, Mini NVR, and TRASSIR NeuroStation there, full monitoring of the area and perimeter of the mosque, including parking lots, was provided. Outdoor cameras detect gatherings of guests near the walls and adjacent streets, and there is special monitoring of restricted areas and holy sites. The health, life, and peace of mind of clerics and visitors, the property of the mosque, and worshippers are protected.

Fast food restaurants also play a role in portraying an urban lifestyle. TRASSIR has developed from scratch a work plan and technological solutions for the young and ambitious BBT company in the State of Kuwait. The Neurostation Compact RE system was implemented together with four modern TR-D2253WDZIR7 video surveillance cameras at their brand-new, stylish HILLTOP restaurant. Thanks to the introduced solution, BBT company has reduced the waiting time for the customers’ orders by 30%. The core feature of Best Burger in Town – fast on-the-go service – has remained preserved, and as a result, there are no long queues during rush hours.

These are just some examples of TRASSIR’s accomplished history of providing safety solutions for different businesses such as public institutions, festivals, educational centers, and public restaurants, and TRASSIR is proud to be a part of every project that helps to promote safety and security.

Ethical considerations regarding AI and privacy are at the forefront of future developments. The integration of surveillance technologies in smart cities inevitably raises privacy and data protection concerns. Striking a balance between using these technologies for public safety and respecting individual privacy rights is a critical challenge.

Going forward, TRASSIR aims to use the knowledge gained from completed projects to improve efficiency, sustainability, and safety for greater security in the MEA region, making a hassle-free journey to a safer urban environment within reach.
