Local authorities today must combine operational efficiency, smart prevention, and citizen trust in managing public spaces. Incivility, spontaneous gatherings, feelings of insecurity, urban congestion, degradation, or illegal dumping: the challenges are multiplying while human resources stagnate.
In the face of these constraints, the real-time video analysis software CORE, developed by XXII, offers a concrete technological breakthrough: transforming existing cameras into smart sensors capable of detecting, alerting, and learning. CORE allows local authorities to shift from passive surveillance to active prevention, respecting regulatory frameworks.
1. Urban security challenges for local authorities
A public space to monitor continuously
Vibrant city centers, residential areas, parks, school surroundings, sports facilities…
Daily presence of heterogeneous crowds: residents, students, tourists, people in precarious situations, road users.
Multiplication of ephemeral events: markets, festivals, flea markets, demonstrations, construction work…
Multiple risks, often poorly anticipated
Risky gatherings or fights
Vandalism on urban furniture or shop windows
Fires in trash bins or malicious acts
Intrusions onto roofs or into closed schools
Falls or discomfort of passersby
Recurring illegal dumping that is difficult to prove
2. CORE, an AI for better seeing, better understanding, better reacting
Real-time detection and targeted alerts
Thanks to the visual AI embedded in CORE, existing cameras can immediately detect:
falls, assaults, abnormal behaviors
barrier breaches, entry into prohibited areas
large object deposits in the street or in green spaces
unusual gatherings or crowd movements
Alerts are contextualized, classified, and sent in real-time to the supervision center or to field teams.
A major operational gain
Agents better deployed, based on the real situation on the ground
Reduction in response time
Automated monitoring of incidents
Legal usability of data in case of investigation or complaint
3. Concrete use cases for French local authorities
📍 Fight against illegal dumping
CORE can detect within seconds an individual placing a mattress, a pallet, or garbage bags in a prohibited area. Services can:
intervene immediately
have actionable video evidence
map risk areas to adapt patrols and awareness campaigns
💡 Example: In a suburban municipality, CORE identified a spike in nighttime dumping near a park-and-ride facility. A repositioning of bins and an increase in fines reduced incidents by 75% in two months.
👥 Monitoring school surroundings
detection of abnormal presence outside opening hours
alerts in case of gatherings or suspicious behaviors
protection of students at the beginning and end of classes
🧍♂️ Identifying people in distress
falls on sidewalks
people lying down or unconscious
erratic behaviors that may require social or medical intervention
🔐 Prevention of intrusions into public facilities
monitoring access to town halls, media libraries, stadiums, or gyms
automatic alerts as soon as an individual enters a prohibited area
traceability for post-incident analysis
🎪 Security during outdoor events
live monitoring of crowd density by area
detection of panic movements or fleeing
assistance in coordinating law enforcement and emergency services
🚶♀️ Analysis of public space flow and occupancy
assessment of attendance at markets, pedestrian areas, or town centers
adaptation of traffic plans or urban furniture
steering of public investments based on real usage
🧯 Detection of risky behaviors or incivilities
projectile throwing, fires in bins
damage to buildings or bus stops
aggressive behavior towards other people or municipal staff
📊 Strategic management and continuous improvement
CORE automatically generates activity reports by area, period, and type of event, allowing:
to objectively inform political decisions
to track the impact of measures taken
to feed discussions with partners (National Police, associations, landlords)
4. Implementation, compliance, and support
Integration with existing systems
CORE works with your current cameras and your VMS systems. It can be hosted on-site or in a sovereign cloud, depending on your requirements.
Data protection and GDPR
No use of facial recognition
No storage of identities
Anonymized data accessible only by authorized personnel
Tailored support
Free feasibility study
Configuration of alerts according to local priorities
Training of operators and staff
Conclusion
CORE is not a technological gadget; it is a strategic tool for public safety. Designed for local authorities, it enables faster detection, better action, and the construction of an intelligent, preventive, and evolving security policy.
📌 By allowing territories to shift from reaction to anticipation, CORE becomes an indispensable ally for cities and towns seeking to combine innovation, efficiency, and respect for freedoms.
