Inventor(s) include P Vivekananda; Muntha Raju; Nilachakra Dash; R Pavan; K Naveen; and K Prabhudev.

The application for the patent was published on March 13, under issue no. 11/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention discloses a Smart Public Surveillance System using Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies for enhancing urban security through intelligent, real-time monitoring and automated threat detection. The system comprises a network of IoT-enabled surveillance nodes equipped with high-definition cameras, thermal sensors, motion detectors, acoustic sensors, and environmental monitoring units integrated with embedded edge computing devices. The edge modules execute AI-based computer vision and machine learning algorithms for object detection, facial recognition (subject to regulatory compliance), crowd analysis, and anomaly identification. Event-based data and risk alerts are securely transmitted to a centralized cloud platform for advanced analytics, predictive threat assessment, historical trend analysis, and dynamic risk scoring. The system incorporates multimodal sensor fusion techniques to improve detection accuracy and reduce false alarms. A centralized command and control dashboard provides real-time visualization, geospatial mapping, automated alert notifications, and coordinated response management. The proposed invention offers a scalable, secure, and proactive surveillance framework suitable for smart cities and urban infrastructure environments."
