Line 3-Red of the São Paulo Metro won on Monday (21/11), a new camera monitoring system. The objective, according to the state government, is to increase security at stations through facial recognition and improve passenger service in the face of increased reports of robberies. The forecast is to expand the measure to more lines in the coming months.
With records of robberies, the Metrô recently entered into a partnership with the Military Police to employ officers at the stations and installed doors with metal detectors in some of them. The installation of cameras, carried out in cooperation with the City of São Paulo, aims to increase these measures.
According to the state government, the 18 stations of Line 3-Red and the Itaquera and Belém yards have 1,381 cameras that are now integrated into a single system for the use of artificial intelligence resources. There are 945 new cameras that were installed and another 436 digital cameras that were already part of the monitoring park. The project removes the analog cameras from the stations and integrates the entire system into a new server at the Control Center, which has image analysis software and image storage capacity for 30 days.
