São Paulo Metrô in Brazil has deployed ISS (Intelligent Security Systems’) SecurOS FaceX solution to protect passengers traveling on Line 3-Red, which features approximately 1,400 cameras deployed across 18 transit stations as well as the Itaquera and Belém railyards. The facial recognition solution was implemented last month by the Governor of the State of São Paulo at the Metrô Operational Control Center.
New cameras are also being installed over the next 18 months on several other train routes managed by Metrô, including Line 2-Green and Line 1-Blue, which will also leverage the SecurOS platform for advanced video intelligence. Last year, ISS began work on the most recent expansion of the Metrô security system, which is intended to cover 55 additional transit stations over the next 30 months and create a surveillance footprint that includes more than 5,000 cameras.
