The Banco Nacional de Comercio de Timor-Leste (BNCTL) is bringing iris recognition technology to Timor-Leste in partnership with IrisGuard and EyeTrust LDA. This will allow people to use ATMs and other financial services through iris recognition. The hope is that this development makes financial services and government welfare distribution more accessible. The software used is EyePay Network and EyePay Phone. +

JamaicaEye is a network of public and private cameras in Jamaica which is managed by the Jamaican National Security Ministry and monitored by the Jamaican Constabulary Force (police). Any citizen or business can apply to have their own cameras feed networked and monitored, and may receive an alert when unusual activity is detected. The police have detailed that they use the cameras for criminal investigations and traffic monitoring. In 2018, the Jamaican Observer reported that the feeds are run through video analytics software including facial recognition, license plate recognition, geofencing and crowd counting. However these features are not outlined on the JamaicaEye website. +
Jinghe street comprehensive governance center and "Sharp eyes project" construction projectin Dongxihu District, Hubei +
From government public documents. The project construction includes the street intelligent and comprehensive governance management platform and its subsystems, network security system, and computer room construction. In addition, the 142 video surveillance images and video storage devices built in the previous period will be relocated from the street police station to the central computer room of this project at a later stage of construction and incorporated into the unified platform management. A total of 453 cameras will be purchased. +

In the Korte Putstraat during the recent carnival, smart cameras identified 11,381 faces by late afternoon, ensuring that no one could enter unnoticed, even with disguises like fake mustaches or stylish glasses. According to Boujrad, the system effectively maintained order during what was a relatively quiet carnival. Only a handful of individuals, those who significantly misbehaved, received a temporary three-day ban from the street. Repeat offenders were quickly recognized and removed by the cameras, which happened on only two occasions. Adema assures that privacy concerns are unwarranted, as the software only retains data on those who have previously committed offenses, deleting all other data promptly. +

As part of a smart city project in Nagpur, Larsen & Toubro Technology services developed a facial recognition system amongst other products to be utilised by the Nagpur Police. 3,698 CCTV cameras have been installed with AI capabilities to detect crimes and accidents. This system will be monitored from a dedicated City Operation Centre at the Nagpur Municipal Corporation as well as the Command and Control centre at the police headquarters +
Lanseng is set to become one of South Africas smart cities. The plans are currently under discussion as the proposal has been released. The plans feature the establishment of a CCTV network with facial recognition capabilities. +
Biometric voting is set to be introduced in Liberia's next election. However, the process has been controversial within the state. Laxton group was announced as the provider in November 2022. This has yet to be fully confirmed. +
The Living Lab International Zone focuses on advancing security technologies by fostering collaboration among organizations with diverse international regulations. This is achieved through a platform developed within the lab that facilitates the sharing of security information. Additionally, the lab conducts web monitoring using specialized software that identifies online activities relevant to organizational or area safety. One key project, the "Eye and Ear" experiment, integrates acoustic sensors with camera surveillance to streamline incident response, directing cameras automatically and enabling live feeds to police. Future plans include establishing an area monitoring center to analyze incoming data and inform police actions. Participation in the lab is by invitation, with partners including government bodies and security organizations. +
The Living Labs initiative, focusing on enhancing public safety, conducts field trials financed by the requesting parties. Participants, such as Tilburg University, Eindhoven University of Technology, and companies like Intel and ViNotion, must align their innovations with the lab's goals and contribute raw data to Eindhoven's open data portal. One innovative application, ViNotion's ViSense technology, provides real-time insights into the safety and movements of visitors in Eindhoven’s nightlife areas. It can proactively detect potential crowd congestion or emerging violence, ensuring privacy by anonymizing data. Stratumseind, known for its high violence rates linked to alcohol consumption, serves as a crucial testing ground for these technologies, including Oddity’s violence detection algorithm, started in July 2019. +

MOBESE City Security System was first established in the 2005 in Istanbul as one world's most crowded cities, then the project was taken to the direct supervision of the General Directorate of Security by 2008. According to some sources, MOBESE systems have reduced the crime rate in Istanbul by 60% since its establishment. Being the biggest step of the e-government project within Turkey and in line with the EU standards, MOBESE has the feature of being the world's largest and most successful project in its field. +
Canyons School District in Utah upgraded its buses with Milestone VMS solution, using Sintron Technologies' servers and Axis Communications' cameras. The solution, lauded by Security Solution Awards, offers redundant storage and remote access. Though not confirmed, facial recognition like SAFR could integrate, given Milestone's flexibility. With increasing security concerns, such additions may become prevalent, especially after incidents like school shootings. +
In 2013, the Utah Transport Authority (UTA) enhanced its surveillance system by adopting Milestone VMS, a flexible video management software with analytic capabilities. This upgrade allowed the addition of functionalities such as facial recognition, object analysis, and situational awareness to aid in identifying criminal activities, obstructions, and triggering alarms. With an open platform for centralized control, Milestone VMS facilitates the integration of smart cameras and future expansions. By 2015, the system included over 1,000 cameras managed across nine servers, with potential for further expansion. The adoption of Milestone technology has improved video quality, enabled efficient monitoring, investigation, and evidence management, and had a positive financial impact by aiding in damage recovery and preventing incidents. +
