Corsight AI has announced its involvement in a “groundbreaking” security project at the 14th Battalion in Osasco, a neighboring city within the metropolitan area of São Paulo, Brazil.

This initiative is part of a public-private partnership spearheaded by Segdboa, which donates fully-equipped monitoring rooms to each battalion, outfitted with the latest in security technology.

Corsight AI emphasizes that these rooms enable real-time monitoring and rapid response to potential threats.

The solution as a whole features Corsight AI’s Facial Intelligence platform, Digifort’s video management system (VMS) and license plate recognition (LPR), IP Extreme’s video analytics for gun detection, smoke detection, fall detection and fight detection, as well as Dahua’s cameras, video walls and touch screen TVs positioned throughout the battalion.

Enhancing public safety

“This project is a significant milestone in our efforts to enhance public safety in Osasco and beyond,” said Captain David, coordinator of activities at the 14th Battalion.

“With the advanced technology provided by Segdboa and Corsight AI, we can respond more quickly and effectively to potential threats.”

“We are proud to support this initiative and bring our cutting-edge technology to the forefront of public safety efforts,” said Roberto Rocha, CEO of Segdboa.

“Our goal is to create a safer environment for everyone by integrating the best technology available with the dedicated efforts of our police forces.

“We chose Corsight AI’s [Facial Intelligence] technology for its proven accuracy in real-world conditions and for its unbiased performance across gender and ethnicity.”

Facial intelligence across Brazil

To date, Segdboa has donated monitoring rooms to five cities, as well as the Civil Guard Corps of Ibiúna city.

The project aims to eventually deliver monitoring rooms to each of the 380 battalions of the Military Police of São Paulo state, which is known as the powerhouse of Brazil and often sets the standard for the nation.

“We are excited to be part of this innovative project that leverages our Facial Intelligence platform to enhance security and public safety,” said Geraldo Sanga, Corsight AI‘s Brazil Regional Sales Director.

“This collaboration demonstrates the power of combining advanced technology with dedicated public service.”

Additionally, Segdboa plans to integrate each battalion’s facial recognition database with the national Cortex system from the Ministry of Justice.

This national database includes photos of all citizens with legal mandates and records of stolen vehicles, facilitating more efficient law enforcement operations across the state.
