MOSCOW, April 15. /Vesti/. Russian AI-powered video analytics technology developed by NtechLab, a technology partner of Rostec State Corporation, has been deployed in South Africa, the company's press service reported.

The system has been launched at one of the country's major shopping malls. This is NtechLab's first project in South Africa and will serve as a pilot site for testing its technologies. The parties are already discussing opportunities to expand their cooperation.

"NtechLab's solutions are widely used in many friendly countries. South Africa is a new market for us, significantly expanding the geographical reach of Russian video analytics technology," said Sergey Titov, NtechLab's Director of International Business, as quoted in the company's statement.

The AI system analyzes video feeds from cameras installed throughout the shopping mall. Its neural network counts visitors and alerts management when additional staff may be needed during peak periods. It also monitors restricted technical and administrative areas to prevent unauthorized access by visitors and checks whether cleaning staff are using personal protective equipment, including face masks and gloves.

NtechLab sees significant potential for deploying AI technologies in South Africa, both in public safety and in improving the comfort and quality of urban environments.
The company has implemented projects in 34 countries, with its solutions deployed across Latin America, India and other BRICS countries, North Africa, the Middle East, and the CIS region.
