FCI Upgrades with 23,750 Modern Surveillance Cameras

The Food Corporation of India (FCI) is set to enhance its monitoring capabilities by installing 23,750 IP-based video surveillance cameras across 561 depots. This upgrade includes features like advanced video analytics, centralized command control, environmental sensors, and remote access to improve the efficiency and security of its depots.

The Food Corporation of India (FCI) is making significant strides in modernizing its storage depots by installing 23,750 IP-based video surveillance cameras across 561 locations. According to a statement from the Food Ministry, the new system promises enhanced monitoring capabilities, including high-resolution imaging, scalability, and remote access.

These advanced CCTV cameras will feature onboard analytics such as tampering detection, motion detection, and field-of-view changes, among others. The installation will be complemented by the creation of a centralized Command Control Centre (CCC) and a Network Operating Centre (NoC) at FCI headquarters. Central monitoring of the system's health and on-demand data storage will also be facilitated.

The new surveillance setup will not only strengthen security measures but will also provide advanced video analytics to effectively manage day-to-day operations. Additionally, environmental and humidity sensors will be introduced on a pilot basis, further enhancing the system's functionality by monitoring conditions that could impact performance.
