In a pioneering initiative to enhance public safety and governance, Videonetics has implemented its Artificial Intelligence-driven Unified Video Management Platform across Andhra Pradesh's 28 districts. This large-scale deployment forms a connected intelligence network that strengthens public security, optimises traffic regulation, and facilitates data-driven decisions throughout the state.
The cornerstone of this initiative is the unified platform that combines advanced video management, AI analytics, traffic management, electronic ticketing, and facial recognition in one cohesive system. Approximately 15,000 IP cameras have been strategically installed at key points, enabling continuous monitoring and seamless data transmission to a central command centre.
Enhancing traffic regulation
A major component of the new system is the sophisticated traffic management solution that operates across more than 680 intersections. This system automates the identification of traffic violations, such as speeding and signal jumps, and assists in spotting blacklisted vehicles, greatly reducing the need for manual supervision and enhancing enforcement uniformity.

Additionally, nearly 1,000 sites have been equipped with facial recognition systems, allowing law enforcement to identify individuals of interest by interfacing with sanctioned national databases, within regulatory limits. CCTV360 (RTGS) connects these 15,000 cameras with the state's criminal records, traffic enforcement, and control systems, offering Andhra Pradesh police a streamlined operational view across every camera and district. This system has enabled swift action in the field, transforming what was once a slow, manually-intensive process into an efficient, near real-time operation.
Outcomes beyond statistics
"The true value of technology in policing lies not in the number of cameras, but in the outcomes for citizens. This platform has been instrumental in recovering missing children, arresting repeat offenders, locating stolen vehicles, and enhancing intelligence sharing between districts at an unprecedented level," remarked Ch. Srikanth, IPS, Inspector General of Operations, Andhra Pradesh Police.
Since its full-scale operation, CCTV360 (RTGS) has achieved results that transcend simple enforcement statistics, including tracking a stolen vehicle across districts, identifying missing children within hours, and swiftly apprehending offenders with outstanding warrants.
Improved response times
With its modular and scalable design, the platform is prepared to meet future needs
Beyond individual successes, state officials note a decrease in crime rates, expedited investigations, and safer roads due to consistent, automated traffic enforcement. "Previously, reviewing CCTV footage manually resulted in delays. Now, the system alerts us to suspicious vehicles, wanted individuals, or missing persons within minutes, speeding up investigations and improving field efficiency," stated Mrs. Malika Garg, IPS, Superintendent of Police (Operations), Andhra Pradesh Police.
Naresh B. Wadhwa, Vice-Chairman & MD of Videonetics, added, "Andhra Pradesh is a leading example of how technology can transform governance at scale. We are committed to supporting the state's vision for safer and smarter cities, reflecting our dedication to India's digital transformation journey, where AI-powered video intelligence will play a critical role."
A model for responsive governance
Implemented alongside MATRIX Security & Surveillance Pvt. Ltd., this deployment integrates a comprehensive network of cameras, analytical tools, and enforcement systems into a centralised Command and Control Centre in Amaravati, establishing a unified backbone for statewide monitoring and response.
With its modular and scalable design, the platform is prepared to meet future needs, setting a benchmark for AI-enabled video intelligence to create safer cities and more responsive governance on a national scale in India.
In a landmark step towards building a future-ready, technology-led governance ecosystem, Videonetics has successfully deployed its AI-powered Unified Video Management Platform across all 28 districts of Andhra Pradesh. The large-scale implementation establishes a connected, real-time intelligence network that enhances public safety, optimises traffic enforcement, and enables data-driven decision-making across the state.
At the core of this transformation is Videonetics’ unified platform, which brings together video management system, AI-driven analytics, traffic management, e-ticketing, and face recognition within a single architecture. About 15,000 IP cameras have been installed across critical locations, enabling continuous monitoring and seamless data flow into the command centre.
Improving enforcement consistency
A key highlight of the rollout is the advanced traffic management system operational across more than 680 intersections. The system automates detection of violations such as over-speeding and signal breaches, while also enabling identification of blacklisted vehicles—significantly reducing manual intervention and improving enforcement consistency.
Additionally, face recognition systems deployed at nearly 1,000 locations empower authorised law enforcement agencies to identify persons of interest through integration with approved national databases, in compliance with regulatory frameworks. Built across roughly 15,000 cameras and integrated with the state's criminal records, traffic enforcement, and command-and-control systems, CCTV360 (RTGS) gives Andhra Pradesh Police a single operational layer that connects every camera, every database, and every district in real time. Where fragmented camera networks once meant retrospective, manual investigation, the platform now delivers actionable intelligence to officers in the field within minutes — and in several documented cases, within hours of an incident.
Beyond enforcement statistics
“The true value of technology in policing is measured not by the number of cameras deployed, but by the outcomes delivered to citizens. This platform has helped us recover missing children, apprehend repeat offenders, trace stolen vehicles, and strengthen inter-district intelligence sharing at an unprecedented scale,”said Ch. Srikanth, IPS, Inspector General of Operations, Andhra Pradesh Police
Within weeks of going fully operational, CCTV360 (RTGS) began delivering outcomes that go well beyond enforcement statistics:
- A stolen two-wheeler reported in Bapatla was tracked across districts via ANPR and recovered by police in Tenali within 3 hours.
- Two 11-year-olds reported missing from Yelamanchili were identified by the Face Recognition System at Visakhapatnam Railway Station and reunited with their families in under 4 hours.
- A Non-Bailable Warrant offender was flagged by the Face Recognition System at Tirumala Bus Stand, Tirupati, and taken into custody within 81 minutes.
- A woman missing for more than a month was traced from Anantapur to Puttaparthi and located the same day a statewide facial recognition alert was issued.
Valuable response time
Beyond these individual cases, state officials report a broader pattern of reduced crime rates, faster investigations, and measurably safer roads through consistent, automated traffic enforcement. “Earlier, by the time CCTV footage was manually reviewed, valuable response time was already lost. Today, the system automatically alerts us about suspicious vehicles, wanted offenders, or missing persons within minutes. It has made investigations faster, patrol teams more effective, and field coordination far more efficient,” said Mrs. Malika Garg, IPS, Superintendent of Police (Operations), Andhra Pradesh Police
“Andhra Pradesh represents one of the most progressive examples of how technology can be leveraged to transform governance at scale. At Videonetics, we are deeply committed to supporting the state’s vision of building safer, smarter, and more responsive cities. This deployment reflects our long-term commitment to India’s digital transformation journey, where AI-powered video intelligence will play a pivotal role in strengthening public safety, improving urban mobility, and enabling efficient governance across regions,” said Naresh B. Wadhwa, Vice-Chairman & MD, Videonetics.
More responsive governance
Implemented in partnership with MATRIX Security & Surveillance Pvt. Ltd., the deployment integrates a vast network of cameras, analytics engines, and enforcement systems into a centralised Command and Control Centre in Amaravati, creating a unified operational backbone for statewide monitoring and response.
Built on a modular and scalable architecture, the platform is designed to evolve with the state’s future requirements. The Andhra Pradesh deployment stands as a strong benchmark for how AI-powered video intelligence can enable safer cities and more responsive governance at scale across India.
