Bengaluru, January 16

In a formal communication to the KSCA, RCB has proposed the installation of 300 to 350 AI-enabled cameras at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, according to a release.

The advanced surveillance technology will empower the KSCA and law enforcement agencies to efficiently manage crowd movement, ensure disciplined queueing, monitor unauthorised access through real-time tracking of entries and exits, and significantly enhance overall fan safety.

The solution leverages advanced analysis of video, audio and text data to accelerate investigations and enable faster, more accurate decision-making. Its real-time AI video analytics capability enables early detection of incidents such as violence, unauthorised access and intrusion, facilitating swift and effective law-enforcement response.

RCB has further committed to bearing the entire one-time cost of this initiative, estimated at approximately ₹4.5 crore.

RCB has partnered with Staqu, a technology company with a proven track record in enhancing public safety through automation and data-driven intelligence. Staqu's state-of-the-art facial recognition technology and intelligent monitoring of objects, crowd, perimeters and vehicles have assisted many State Police forces in their regular monitoring and investigations.

The solution leverages advanced analysis of video, audio and text data to accelerate investigations and enable faster, more accurate decision-making. Its real-time AI video analytics capability enables early detection of incidents such as violence, unauthorised access and intrusion, facilitating swift and effective law-enforcement response.

The integration of this advanced technology will elevate crowd management standards and reinforce a safe, secure and seamless matchday experience for all fans.

While the intent for safety is good, I have serious concerns about privacy. 350 AI cameras with facial recognition? That's a lot of surveillance. Who controls this data? What are the safeguards? We need transparency before this is implemented.

Finally! The queue management at Chinnaswamy is chaotic. If this AI can help streamline entry and exit, it will be a huge relief. Hope they also use it to catch ticket black-marketers. RCB spending 4.5 crore shows they care about their fans' experience.

As a woman who goes to matches with friends, this makes me feel more secure. Real-time monitoring for unauthorized access and violence detection is very welcome. Hope other stadiums across India follow this model.

Good step, but will it work in our Indian crowd conditions? The tech sounds advanced, but implementation is key. Also, hope the focus remains on safety and not on excessive monitoring of regular fans. The partnership with an Indian company (Staqu) is a plus.

Interesting to see sports franchises leading in tech adoption. The data-driven approach could set a new standard for event management in the country. If successful, this could be a blueprint for other public venues beyond stadiums.
