The fair also features innovations that are attracting a lot of attention because, until recently, they were considered things from a distant future.
A trade show in São Paulo demonstrates how artificial intelligence is helping in the evolution of security equipment.
Smile, you're being filmed. And by increasingly intelligent equipment.
Recording is one of the functions of the cameras installed on the poles shown in the video report. They are able to detect if someone is armed or trespassing in a prohibited area, for example.
The safe city is just a scenario at a security fair taking place in São Paulo. But, on a large scale, this monitoring can help improve the security of a metropolis.
“Artificial intelligence has come to be able to point out, 'look, there's something wrong happening in this environment.' It will be implemented preventively in all security equipment from now on,‘ explains the president of the Brazilian Association of Electronic Security Systems Companies (Abese), Selma Migliori.
Another camera, mounted on a police car, sends the images to a supercomputer that fits inside a small box.
“"Everything is in here: the hard drive, the processor, the video memory, and this other board is just for mapping the peripherals," says engineer Guilherme Garcia Simões.
The sentinel system is capable of issuing multiple alerts. The project was developed by researchers at the University of São Paulo (USP) in partnership with the Military Police.
“"It can identify vehicle license plates, whether the vehicle is stolen, has a fake license plate, it can identify firearms, risky situations. And as the police officer patrols, it collects photos, processes these images and sends these notifications to the Military Police," reinforces engineer Guilherme.
The fair also features some novelties that are attracting a lot of attention, because until recently, they were things of a distant future, such as a technological version of man's best friend.
The friendly robot has movements that mimic those of a dog. And it made a lot of people stop in the hallways.
“"Especially since there's no need to give him bones," says security company owner Reginaldo Gonçalves.
All it takes is a look at the cameras installed in its eyes for it to respond by turning its head. An electronic guard dog capable of recognizing faces, identifying the presence of strangers, and even assisting in rescues.
“In cases of hard-to-reach or dangerous places for firefighters or lifeguards, it could reach that location. The domestic versions work like a domestic dog. The new technological pet,” explains innovation engineer Alexandre Ferreira.
