In a major development, authorities have decided to upgrade all Safe City cameras installed across Lahore with facial recognition and Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) technology.
According to officials, nearly 8,000 cameras in the city are undergoing software upgrades. Once completed, the system will not only enable immediate action against traffic violations but also allow close monitoring of criminal activities.
Previously, only 600 cameras were being used for facial recognition, while 1,100 were dedicated to e-challan services. With the ongoing upgrade, all cameras will soon be fully functional with the latest technology.
Officials further said that the Safe Cities Authority is carrying out the entire upgrade process using its own resources. They added that similar advanced systems are already functional in other cities, and Lahore’s transition will be completed soon.
