Description

In 2019, the City of Perth trialled Briefcam in at least 30 street cameras. It is unclear whether the deployment is ongoing, but it likely is as Perth is undergoing smart city development like other cities in Australia.

The technology, already in use at Perth airport, will be tested by the City of Perth as part of a new $1 million Smart Cities trial. Starting later this month, the first Briefcam "smart" video surveillance cameras will be switched on in East Perth. The cameras are able to match faces from live camera footage with any photos supplied by police in the search for perpetrators of criminal activity 1

The technology will allow city authorities to be alerted if someone enters a restricted area. It will also count pedestrian foot traffic and monitor motor vehicle traffic 1
