The Public Security Department is the law enforcement agency responsible for maintaining public safety, preventing crime, and upholding the law in the region. Established in 1873, the force has been instrumental in maintaining peace and stability in the area, particularly in counter-insurgency operations.
In addition to its core operations, the department conducts community service activities to bridge the gap between the department and the public. The force works closely with other law enforcement agencies to ensure effective coordination and cooperation. Dedicated to upholding the rule of law and protecting the rights of every citizen, it is committed to building a safe and secure environment in the region.
Business scenario
The lack of centralised monitoring capabilities at the head of the department's office
The department is divided into multiple zones, ranges, and districts, with each district housing several branch offices. However, monitoring these dispersed stations posed a challenge. The lack of centralised monitoring capabilities at the head of the department's office and inadequate infrastructure at the department branches could have helped with real-time updates and efficient communication.
To address this, the department aimed to enhance surveillance infrastructure, enable streaming access to all stations, and establish a centralised monitoring system. These efforts would improve coordination, data management, and security services for the people of the state.
Challenges
- Monitoring challenge: The stations are dispersed across multiple locations
- Lack of centralised monitoring capabilities at the head of department’s office
- Inadequate infrastructure at the stations for local data recording
- Hindered real-time updates and efficient communication across the network
Solution
A total of 70 cameras were installed with varying focal lengths and capabilities to cover 20 branches in the jurisdiction. Based on their requirement the experts suggested high-resolution 5MP bullet cameras with audio support to capture clearer images and for playback and investigation. The motorised varifocal lens and PTZ cameras can be manoeuvered remotely for better control over the cameras.

To enable the streaming and recording of footage for a longer duration, eight-channel network video recorders (NVRs) with 1 SATA port (each SATA port supports 10TB storage support) were installed across 20 locations. These NVRs were connected to television screens using HDMI cables, enabling the streaming of live footage at local offices.
Matrix SATATYA SAMAS
For centralised surveillance, all NVRs related to Matrix SATATYA SAMAS use static public IP. The video management system was connected to the desktop for monitoring purposes and provided Matrix SATATYA VISION 24×7 surveillance on the go.
The Matrix team also provided training to the officials on how to use the video surveillance infrastructure effectively. They were taught to leverage the system's full potential, including best practices for monitoring, managing, and analysing data captured by the system.
