Uncertain information: Involved Entities

Safe city software such as an intergrated camera system has been deployed in Iskandar since 2012. All regional police can access the video service and stream to it. Events of interest are identified.

The software applications serve as the nerve centre for CCTV operations and govern actions such as monitoring, event dispatching and management, and emergency responses. Powerful video analytics software analyses video streams and detects any anomalies or events of interest allowing relatively few operators to man a control centre with hundreds or thousands of cameras. The software then alerts the operators for further action 1

In Johor Bahru the camera network has recently been extended. The cameras may facilitate forensic facial recognition for criminal investigations.

Noorazam said having the cameras installed at strategic locations in Johor Baru had helped MBJB monitor the traffic lights’ system from the CCTV control room. The cameras also helped its enforcement team to keep watch on beggars, illegal hawkers, vandals, obstructions as well as in responding to emergencies, he said. “MBJB can also identify flash flood areas and the causes of traffic congestion, besides assisting the police on road accident and criminal cases 3
