Philadelphia Parking Authority greenlights trial of Iveda/Clearview security technologies

MESA, Ariz. — Cloud-based AI provider Iveda has announced that the Philadelphia Parking Authority (PPA) has officially green-lit a trial of IvedaAI and ClearView Asset Protection to bolster security in parking areas throughout the city.

The project will leverage IvedaAI, an advanced AI solution providing real-time facial recognition, weapon detection, license plate reading, and more. The technology will be integrated into two of ClearView’s customizable security trailers, each equipped with four cameras.

“This collaboration marks a pivotal moment in enhancing public safety across Philadelphia’s parking infrastructure, while underscoring Iveda’s unwavering commitment to building solutions for the betterment of urban areas like Philly,” said David Ly, Iveda CEO and founder. “By harnessing the power of AI, the city is creating safer environments for residents and visitors alike. We anticipate this partnership with ClearView to have a profoundly positive impact on the community and are confident that it will set new standards for urban safety initiatives."

The deployment aims to improve safety in key areas across Philadelphia, including Jackson Street, Front Street, and parking areas under the I-95 overpass, which have become hotspots for criminal activity. In addition to critical safety benefits, the technology will reportedly enable parking lot operations to run smoother. The system can be customized to send alerts to appropriate personnel if a car has been parked in a spot for too long, vehicles are loitering, and more.

“The integration of IvedaAI into ClearView’s mobile surveillance systems represents a trailblazing offering in the physical security space,” added Lance Thomas, President of ClearView Asset Protection. “Together, we’re providing a scalable, cost-effective solution to enhance public safety while reducing the need for manpower. We’re eager to see the positive impact the technology will have on the city of Philadelphia.”

Iveda stated that a successful trial run will pave the way for broader deployment across Philadelphia as well as other cities across the country.
