Going with the modernisation spree in Vizag, the city has acquired its first field alert centre for operational networking (FALCON) mobile command control centre. Making its debut in the city on Tuesday at Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu‘s Dharma Porata Deeksha, the bus is expected to be deployed at all strategic meetings told the Commissioner of Police, T Yoganand, as reported by The Hindu.
Equipped with the latest digital features such as high-resolution video monitors, CC cameras, scanners, and intruder detection systems among others, the bus is deemed to facilitate easier monitoring of several aspects.
As per the report, it has also been learned that the mobile Command Control Centre can handle multiple CC TV cameras at a time and transmit the feed to the Command Control Centre in Amaravati.
CP T Yoganand also informed that Vizag would soon have around 2000 government-run cameras and those installed by private players. This, the CP said, would enable it to bring the entire city under electronic surveillance and would help in solving the crime.
Earlier, an Integrated Command Control Centre (ICCC) was inaugurated in the city by the Chief Minister. While the display screens showcase the complex analytics and statistics, the personnel keep track of other intricate issues as the city chugs away. Smart street lighting dashboards, air quality monitoring, integration of the Water SCADA system for reservoir and city water distribution systems, centralised solid waste monitoring capabilities, tools for revenue assurance and enhanced city surveillance, green maps for urban forestry monitoring and beach are a few among the many features that will help the authorities govern and monitor the city in a smarter and more efficient way.
