Iranian Knowledge-Based Firm Indigenizes CCTV Monitoring Software
“Since we did not have a home-made system for monitoring images in the country, and the foreign software products available in Iran are cracked and non-original and there is no support and after-sales service on these systems, we tried to settle this problem,” Ahmad Ahmadi, the vice-president of business development department of the knowledge-based company, told ANA.
He explained that one of the systems developed by his company has been presented to the market nearly 8 years ago and is used in municipalities, universities of medical sciences, economic enterprises and various industries, hospitals, railways, power plants, petrochemical companies and refineries across the country.
“This software does not depend on a specific model of CCTV and reduces costs, because sometimes the organization has to change camera models. And since we are familiar with the bandwidth and internet factors and limitations in Iran, the software has been developed in a way that it can be adapted to the conditions,” Ahmadi said.
In a relevant development in 2022, an Iranian technological firm had also manufactured a smart closed-circuit television (CCTV) which can alert the residents of a building of robbery by its capability to recognize the familiar faces from strangers.
“The smart anti-theft camera informs the owner or residents online about the occurrence of a crime and prevents robbery by the thief,” Mohammad Zolfaqari, the manager of ‘Dadeh Abzar Sepand Hirkan’ company at the Growth Center of Technological Units of the Islamic Azad University’s Azadshahr branch, told ANA.
He added that the camera detects the faces of people within its range, noting that the owner or owners are alerted if there is a discrepancy with the faces of the authorized people on the scene.
“We hope that people will be informed rapidly about any possible robbery and their properties will be protected with the help of this product,” Zolfaqari said.
