From the intersection to the dashboard.

Challenge

A smart city never stops producing data. Surveillance cameras on every corner and traffic sensors along every street generate terabytes of valuable information continuously — and as surveillance moves from 4K towards even higher resolutions, the demands on processing hardware climb with it. For city managers, the question is no longer how to collect the deluge, but how to act on it in time.

Solution

YUAN's SmartNVR VPP6N0 AGX processes data on-site, at the edge, streamlining traffic and public safety operations without over-reliance on the cloud — decisions happen where the events do. Working in sync with YUAN's SmartVMS, the system also streams data to the cloud, where managers see a clear dashboard for immediate insight and longer-term strategic planning.

On top of this architecture sits AI-powered visual security, with tailored models for full environmental awareness. Pedestrian and vehicle flow monitoring identifies vehicle types and analyses large-scale movement in real time, informing how the city allocates resources. Public safety models spot abnormal behaviour — unauthorised entry, an abandoned package — within milliseconds and alert law enforcement directly. Traffic enforcement automatically identifies violations and responds in real time, and disaster prevention uses scene recognition and object detection to catch floods or fires as they begin, locating the problem area fast.

Key benefits

High-performance edge computing plus cloud integration gives a smart city both a robust real-time monitoring and analysis platform and data-driven decision support for its managers. It is infrastructure in the proper sense — the technical cornerstone on which sustainable urban development gets built.
