Ahmedabad to get 106 AI-powered CCTV cameras for security surveillance
Updated: Mar 3rd, 2025
The Amdavad Municipal Corporation (AMC) and the police department have initiated steps to enhance security by installing 106 additional AI-powered CCTV cameras.
The traffic police have identified key locations along the Sardar Patel Ring Road and surrounding areas where CCTV surveillance is needed, prompting the AMC to begin the tendering process.
In addition to the 5,400 CCTV cameras installed by AMC since 2011 to solve serious crimes, footage from over 1,00,000 private cameras in societies, homes, and shops also proves useful.
The necessity for CCTV surveillance became evident after the serial bomb blasts in Ahmedabad in 2008. The police first installed 82 CCTV cameras at different locations in 2011-12.
Later, in 2017, as part of the Smart City Project, the police and AMC installed 2,117 CCTV cameras and launched a modern control room.
Additionally, under the Nirbhaya Project, the police installed 300 more CCTV cameras.
CCTV cameras are already operational along the BRTS routes, bus stops, the Rath Yatra route, and the Tazia procession route. Currently, there is a network of 5,400 CCTV cameras managed by the police and AMC in Ahmedabad.
106 CCTV locations
Over the next six months, 106 new cameras will be installed at the city's entry and exit points, as well as in newly developed areas. This joint initiative by AMC and the police aims to enhance security in areas that have developed significantly over the past decade.
These AI-powered cameras will be capable of capturing photographs of individuals and identifying them.
- Traffic Zone A: 74 new CCTV cameras will be installed in areas such as Sanand, Makarba, Sarkhej, SG Highway, SP Ring Road, Makarba, Jivraj Park, Vastrapur, Commerce Six Roads, and Navrangpura.
- Traffic Zone B: 12 cameras will be installed in areas including Naroda, Chamunda Bridge, Jamalpur, RTO, Chimanbhai Patel Bridge, and Prem Darwaja.
- Traffic Zone C: 7 cameras will be placed in Nana Chiloda, Dahegam Ring Road, Karai Cut, and Naroda Bethak Three Roads.
- Traffic Zone D: 11 smart city capture cameras will be installed in areas such as Jashodanagar, Express Highway, CTM, Rajendra Park in Meghaninagar, Viratnagar, Thakkarnagar, and Dastan Circle.
