The concept of developing a City-Wide Surveillance Command and Control Centre in Pakistan is exclusive to GCS Pvt. Ltd. The KMC Command & Control Center was inaugurated by the Honorable Governor of Sindh on June 15, 2008. Since that time, the project is running successfully without a single minute of downtime and completed its 6th year of operation in June 2014.

Initially, in Phase 1 of the project, 28 cameras were installed covering Karachi Corridor I; from Karsaz to Karachi S.I.T.E. Area, and 26 Cameras to cover Karachi Corridor II; from Drigh Road to Nagan Bridge. Soon after the successful completion of Phase 1, 98 more cameras were installed in the following areas;

• Route from Nishter Park to Tower
• Saddar route to cover Sea Breeze Plaza – Preedy Street – Tibet Center

910 cameras were added in the second phase of deployment to cover commercial downtown areas including Old City, Parts of Shaheed-e-millat Road, Tipu Sultan Road, Tariq Road, and its vicinities, and industrial hubs of Karachi encompassing S.I.T.E. and K.A.T.I.
Karachi’s Command and Control Centre is truly a state-of-the-art solution that was completely done by GCS utilizing its in-house.GCS not only pulled off a miraculous recovery in the security operations of the city, it also made sure that the solution was capable of storing the recordings 24/7/365. Digital Video Archiving facility was also provided along with a lifetime backup of critical information and incidents. GCS did not rely on any third party interference at all as all aspects of network and operations were controlled by GCS.
