Manila deploys smart city platform to enhance public safety

Ly continued: “To secure deployment in one of the most prestigious and forward-thinking cities in Southeast Asia is not just a milestone for Iveda – it’s a model we plan to replicate in other global cities of similar stature.”

The deployment is designed to reduce manual monitoring workloads and empower the city’s surveillance team with automation and intelligent alerts. The city’s need to streamline operations and make better use of its long-standing investments in CCTV systems made IvedaAI a natural fit.

“We spent time truly listening to the vision of city officials – understanding their goals, city pain points, and working alongside local integrators to tailor a solution that would work with their existing infrastructure”

“This is a proud step forward,” said Lino Barte, president of Iveda Philippines. “Together with the city’s stakeholders and integrator partners, we’ve created a model of deployment that works, and more importantly, one that scales. Other major cities – and even top hotel chains – are already lining up to replicate it, and we’ll be sharing those rollouts soon.”

Iveda Philippines is a joint venture in the Philippines focused on smart city deployment. This initial city represents Iveda Philippines’ first major contract in support of the company’s broader smart city strategy in the Philippines, announced last year. Based on how the Iveda team has measured the pace of municipal activity, the new target for the end of fiscal year in 2026 is $3m in revenue from smart city projects in the Philippines.
