Description[ ]

The project is backed by the Indian government’s Nirbhaya Fund, and is one of eight similar efforts across cities aimed at creating a safe, secure and empowering environment for women and children through the use of technology. 1

As part of the contract, Honeywell Automation India, a publicly traded subsidiary of Honeywell in India, will install 7,000 cameras across 3,000 locations across Bengaluru. The system will have facial recognition and advanced analytics capabilities. 1

The project, which will be managed by the Bengaluru City Police, will be controlled by an integrated command and control centre, with Honeywell also building a ‘Dial 100’ app and utilising drones. The police department’s Suraksha app will also be upgraded as part of the project. 1
