Description

In 2018, police forces in Malaysia began to use body worn cameras with facial recognition capabilities from Chinese startup YINU Technologies.

Chinese surveillance and security startup Yitu Technology has made its first foray into Malaysia, supplying wearable cameras with artificial intelligence-powered facial-recognition technology to a local law enforcement agency. The Shanghai-based company’s devices have been in use since February by the Auxiliary Force, a unit of the Malaysian police that provides security at public facilities such as ports. The deal also marks the first use of such wearable devices by the country’s law enforcement agencies. A spokesperson for the police unit said it would consider the introduction of streaming facial-recognition functions in real time in the near future 1

In January, the company opened its first overseas office in Singapore to serve Southeast Asia, Hong Kong, Macau and Oceania. In Malaysia, Yitu is in talks with a casino operator, banks and data centers to offer its range of solutions, said Mark Chee, Yitu's business director. The company's technology can identify a person from its database of 1.8 billion people within 3 seconds with an accuracy of 95%. It has been rolled out in 150 cities in 28 provinces in China, where it is used in public spaces such as airports, banks and hospitals 1
