Andhra Pradesh's AI-powered RTGS CCTV360 platform has helped recover 81 stolen vehicles, trace missing persons and solve major crimes through real-time surveillance.
Amaravati: Andhra Pradesh's AI-powered RTGS CCTV360 surveillance platform is rapidly transforming policing across the State, enabling faster crime detection, quicker recovery of stolen vehicles and efficient tracing of missing persons through real-time intelligence.
Developed under the State Government's vision of building a Safe Andhra Pradesh, the platform has integrated more than 14,750 CCTV cameras into a single Artificial Intelligence-enabled monitoring network. Unlike conventional surveillance systems that merely record footage, RTGS CCTV360 analyses vehicle movements, identifies travel patterns, generates instant alerts and provides actionable intelligence to police, significantly strengthening technology-driven policing.
The system has already delivered measurable results. During the past four months alone, RTGS CCTV360 has helped police recover 81 stolen vehicles, trace 73 missing persons and assist in the arrest of 52 accused persons involved in various criminal cases.
One of the most notable successes came in Guntur, where the theft of a Honda Activa scooter was solved through the AI platform. After investigators uploaded the vehicle registration number into CCTV360, the system detected the scooter passing through a city junction and immediately generated a real-time alert. Police intercepted the suspect within minutes. During interrogation, the accused confessed to seven vehicle thefts, enabling investigators to crack multiple cases through a single technological lead.
The platform has also played a critical role in rescuing missing persons. In Chirala, a six-month-old infant abducted while the child's mother slept on a roadside pavement was traced and rescued within 24 hours after investigators analysed CCTV footage through RTGS CCTV360. The accused was arrested and the child was safely reunited with the mother.
Officials said the system has become a major deterrent to organised vehicle theft. Once the registration number of a stolen vehicle is entered into the platform, Artificial Intelligence continuously monitors its movement across the integrated surveillance network. Whenever the vehicle passes through any connected CCTV location, the system instantly alerts the concerned police officers, significantly reducing investigation time and improving recovery rates.
The AI platform has supported investigations across several districts. In NTR district, CCTV360 helped police solve multiple vehicle theft cases, while in Nandigama, investigators traced a stolen motorcycle using real-time surveillance inputs. Police stations at A.S. Nagar, Vissannapeta and Madanapalle have also successfully cracked pending theft cases with the platform's assistance.
Beyond vehicle thefts, the system is increasingly proving valuable in missing person investigations. Police recently traced a woman missing for an extended period in Mylavaram, located a missing girl registered at S.R. Peta Police Station on the same day the complaint was received, and tracked a missing person's vehicle in Reddigudem, enabling the individual to be located safely.
Officials said RTGS CCTV360 represents a major step towards smart governance by combining Artificial Intelligence with public infrastructure and frontline policing. In addition to crime investigation, the platform is expected to play a growing role in traffic management, emergency response, disaster management and urban security.
As Andhra Pradesh expands its digital governance ecosystem, RTGS CCTV360 is emerging as a model of how intelligent surveillance can strengthen public safety, accelerate investigations and make governance more responsive.
