Society
Ulaanbaatar, April 3, 2025 /MONTSAME/. The Office of the Governor of the Capital City and the Council for Crime Prevention of the Capital City have handed over the “MD Video AI” software to the Traffic Police Authority of Mongolia. This software is utilized by police departments in seventy-six countries worldwide.
The software will be utilized in investigative procedures to enhance low-resolution surveillance footage obtained from crime scenes, identify facial characteristics and objects associated with specific criminal activities, strengthen the detection of crimes and violations, and facilitate the compilation of evidentiary materials.
Owned by the South Korean company GMD Soft, the software also offers the capability of retrieving essential applications, images, and video files from mobile devices that are no longer operational. Its integration into police operations is expected to yield benefits, including reductions in time and fuel expenditures during the investigation of both traffic-related incidents and other criminal cases, while also alleviating the workload of law enforcement personnel.
Governor of the Capital City and Mayor of Ulaanbaatar Nyambaatar Khishgee stated: “As of today, there are 2,606 smart cameras operating at 176 intersections and crossings in Ulaanbaatar City. These are monitored by the Video Surveillance Center of Ulaanbaatar City, which is now fully equipped with an intelligent camera system powered by AI software to detect crimes and violations. With the addition of the "MD-Video AI" software, we can now obtain more precise information. In other words, this marks a remarkable advancement in both hardware and software technologies.”
Lieutenant Colonel of Police and Head of the Investigation Division of the Traffic Police Authority Khosbayar Vanchigsuren said: “Collecting and securing evidence is the most crucial part of solving crimes. However, due to the poor quality of surveillance cameras previously installed by private entities, the evidence-gathering process has often been hindered, leading to delays in solving cases. The introduction of the "MD-Video AI" software has provided major support in restoring the rights of citizens and strengthening the collection of evidence.”
In addition to the software, the Capital City Governor’s Reserve Fund will be used to provide a full high-capacity computer system for implementation.
