Salvador Adopts Israeli Drones and Cameras with Artificial Intelligence to Strengthen the Fight Against Violence and Streamline Real-Time Decision Making

The city of Salvador, capital of Bahia, has just taken a new step in the fight against violence. The city hall announced on July 7 the implementation of a video monitoring system using Israeli drones.

The initiative aims to provide more agility in crime prevention and improve urban control. This innovation adds to other technologies already in use and marks a shift in how public safety has been conceptualized in the municipality.

State-of-the-Art Aerial Technology

The drones used are of Israeli origin and feature advanced technology. They are unmanned aircraft that can be operated remotely or even autonomously.

Integration with Control Center

For the technology to function efficiently, the drones will be integrated into the new Operational Control Center (CCO) of Salvador. This center consolidates security, transportation, traffic, and urban infrastructure systems of the city.

The CCO has been under construction by the city hall since June 26, on Avenida Suburbana, in the Alto do Cabrito neighborhood.

The total investment for the project is R$ 120 million. At the location, data from different municipal agencies will be collected and processed with the support of artificial intelligence.

Drone operations will be conducted in partnership with the Municipal Civil Guard and other city hall departments.

The goal is to use the data to expedite decisions and provide quicker responses to the population.

Cameras with Artificial Intelligence

In addition to the drones, the city hall is also investing in a new video monitoring system with facial recognition. This model follows the example of Smart Sampa, adopted in São Paulo in July 2024.

The São Paulo system already has over 26,000 cameras and impressive results: 2,746 people arrested in the act, 1,410 wanted individuals captured, and 73 missing persons located.

In Salvador, there are currently about 3,700 surveillance cameras. The goal is to increase this number and implement devices with artificial intelligence.

The city hall also intends to integrate the equipment of businesses, residences, and condominiums, provided that the owners are interested.

Israeli Drones: Focus on Prevention

With the adoption of Israeli drones and the reinforcement of the use of cameras with facial recognition, Salvador enters a new phase in the fight against violence.

The technologies allow for real-time monitoring and quicker actions by security forces.

The strategy is to use innovation and data to improve the quality of life for the population, without relying exclusively on state systems.

The new model is already underway and is expected to yield results in the coming months.
