New Delhi: HCL Security has tied up with global virtualisation solutions firm—Barco— to set up a new C4i (Command, Control, Communication, Computing and Intelligence) centre in Delhi to add teeth to the policing during the Commonwealth Games.

The project, due to be completed this month, will provide a highly sophisticated surveillance system for communication with Delhi patrol officers during the Commonwealth Games 2010.

Nearly 1,000 police control room (PCR) vans, 12 police video monitoring vehicles and 700 other monitoring vehicles are to be linked to the centre.

Live feeds from cameras will be displayed at the centre, and threat information — colour-coded in red, yellow or green, according to the severity of the threat — will be flashed across the screens.

Any suspicious movement, or an emergency, will be spotted at the centre and relayed to the local police.

The C4i centre will benefit from Barco's latest LED-based technology, consisting of sixteen 50 inch display cubes along with two 46 inch Narrow-bezel LCD monitors and the state-of-the-art control room management suite.

"Barco's technology is being used to ensure the safety of people in more than 100 metropolitan areas throughout the world. We are proud and honoured to contribute to the safety of Delhi during the Commonwealth Games 2010," Barco India Managing Director Nalin Advani said.

"We selected Barco for its state-of-the-art solution, advanced technology and local service and support” HCL Security CEO Rothin Bhattacharya said.
