A video surveillance platform for public safety

A video surveillance platform for public safety has to do more than show cameras: it has to cross-reference plate reads against official databases, organise what the agency knows about persons of interest, and turn recordings into usable evidence. Xeqmate brings that together in one system, with live integrations to the Brazilian programmes Helios MG, Smart Sampa, Muralha Paulista and Alerta Brasil.

Overview

What does the platform offer public safety?

Xeqmate offers public safety video surveillance with recording and AI, automatic plate reading with investigative tools (co-occurrence, convoy, heat map), facial recognition, a persons-of-interest module with a case file and a relationship graph, a patrol app for reading plates in the field, and certified integrations with four Brazilian public programmes: Helios MG, Smart Sampa, Muralha Paulista and Alerta Brasil. All of it with permission-based access control and an audit trail.

The model serves both the agency running its own camera perimeter and the city, company or residential property that wants to feed its cameras into the public network. The platform runs in the cloud or on-premise, connecting cameras of any brand over RTSP, RTMP or P2P — the same foundation described on the VMS for central stations page.

Public databases

Live integrations with public-safety programmes

Four integrations in production, each with the scope the programme itself defines. All four are Brazilian networks; elsewhere, the same webhook and API mechanism connects the platform to local systems.

Helios MG — Minas Gerais Military Police

Automatic delivery of plate reads from the selected cameras to Helios, the Minas Gerais Military Police system.

Smart Sampa — City of São Paulo

Two-way sharing with the municipal network: cameras, plate reads and facial recognition integrated into the Smart Sampa programme.

Muralha Paulista — São Paulo State Government

Sending faces and plates to the state programme, with alerts of interest coming back to the operation.

Alerta Brasil — Federal Highway Police

Querying and sending plate reads to the Federal Highway Police national database.

In every integration, only the selected cameras take part — the choice is made camera by camera — and the agency receives only the data type the programme covers; recordings and reports stay private. Joining follows each programme accreditation (a membership agreement or partnership), and the credentials received are registered in the platform. Beyond the public programmes, the operation has webhooks, an API and Telegram alerts.

Intelligence

Persons of interest: case file, links and map

What the operation knows about the people under investigation, organised and searchable.

A complete case file

Civil records, aliases and false names, physical features, faces, tattoos and scars, addresses, contacts, vehicles, criminal record and incidents — on a single page. The registered faces feed face search and face alerts.

Relationship graph

The subject relationship network drawn up to 3 levels deep: who connects to whom, with the type of link on each edge. Clicking a node opens that person case file.

Map of people and points of interest

Geolocated addresses of the individuals, points of interest and areas of activity displayed on the operation map.

Organisations and tags

Records organised by organisation, tag and area of activity, so queries and alerts can be segmented to match each team work.

Camera perimeter

Investigative LPR and the patrol app

Plate reading as an investigative tool, not just a log.

  • Read search: by plate, vehicle description, voice or photo — with make/model, type, colour, year and registration city/state on each read.
  • Investigative reports: co-occurrence (a vehicle that passed several points), convoy (vehicles travelling together), traffic flow and heat map, plus the reads plotted on the map.
  • Alerts: on plates and on vehicle attributes, with list import from a spreadsheet and lookup by plate, VIN or engine number.
  • Patrol app: the crew in the field reads plates from a phone, extending the perimeter beyond the fixed points.
  • Facial recognition: real-time face monitoring, face alerts and face comparison, tied into the case files — details on the facial recognition page.

The module is covered in full on the license plate recognition (LPR) page.

From video to case file

Video evidence with an audit trail

Recordings and clips

The operator finds the incident in the player and exports the original segment — clips of up to 60 minutes, available for 30 days to download and file with the case.

Documented records

Read reports export to CSV, Excel or PDF — the PDF carries the applied filters and the total in the header, documenting exactly how the extract was made.

End-to-end auditing

Who queried, who generated the clip, when and from which IP: user actions go into the audit trail, supporting the chain of custody for the material handed over.

Access is permission-based: each user — control-room operator, investigator, manager — sees only the sites, cameras and modules released to them, with two-factor authentication (2FA) available. The platform was designed around data-protection principles: lawful basis, purpose, transparency and retention under the customer control.

FAQ

Questions about video surveillance for public safety

Four, all in Brazil: Helios MG (automatic delivery of plate reads to the Minas Gerais Military Police), Smart Sampa (two-way sharing of cameras, plates and faces with the City of São Paulo), Muralha Paulista (sending faces and plates to the São Paulo State Government, with alerts of interest) and Alerta Brasil (querying and sending plates to the Federal Highway Police national database).

Accreditation with the agency comes first (a membership agreement or partnership), which provides the integration credentials. The integration is then registered in the platform with those credentials and the participating cameras are selected one by one. From there, synchronisation is automatic.

No. Only the chosen cameras join the integration, and the agency receives only the data type the programme covers (live video, plate reads or the camera registry). Recordings, reports and the rest of the operation stay private.

It is the structured record of people under investigation: a case file with civil records, faces, tattoos, addresses, vehicles and criminal record; a relationship graph up to 3 levels deep; a map of individuals, points of interest, areas of activity, organisations and tags. The registered faces feed face search and face alerts.

The operator finds the incident in the recording and exports the original clip (up to 60 minutes per segment, available for 30 days to download and file). Read reports come out in CSV, Excel or PDF with the filters documented. The audit trail records who generated and who queried what, when and from which IP.

The platform was designed around data-protection principles: permission-based access (each user sees only what was released), a complete audit trail, retention under the customer control, transparency, and two-factor authentication available. The lawful basis and the purpose of the processing are defined by the contracting agency.
