Honeywell completes city surveillance project in Ujjain

Honeywell SURVEILLANCE PROJECT
Honeywell has completed a city-wide installation of surveillance and emergency response technology in Ujjain to support the Madhya Pradesh Police Department's work in crime prevention, and traffic and crowd management during the Simhastha Kumbh. The Simhastha Kumbh is among the world's largest holy gatherings that attracted approximately 70M devotees this year, challenging the city's resources to effectively maintain safety and security.

The surveillance project covered all major checking bays connected to the city with integrated CCTVs and automatic number plate reading cameras (ANPR) using a command and control center, which integrates the emergency response and traffic management systems for the Police Department. As part of the project, 667 video cameras were installed for the Simhastha Kumbh event at the Mahakaal Temple, and at 134 locations around the city. The system gathered real-time data to help authorities react to any incident and monitor areas. Cisco, the networking partner, helped Honeywell manage and process huge volumes of video data on its platform.

"This project delivers real time safe city monitoring for the police department. It is an example of our commitment to making cities smarter, safer, and more secure, in-line with India's 100 Smart Cities vision. We have carried out similar projects in Bhubaneshwar, Aurangabad, etc, and will continue to focus on this area," said Priyanshu Singh, GM, Honeywell Building Solutions, India.

The command and control center at Ujjain's Superintendent of Police office was visited by dignitaries attending the Simhastha Kumbh including the CM of Madhya Pradesh, National President of the BJP, political leader of the Indian National Congress, and the LG of Puducherry.
