Smart Security Tower
Project Overview
About
Conventional surveillance systems collect large volumes of data, but unclear AI decisions and editable cloud records can make the resulting evidence difficult to verify. Smart Security Tower combines cameras, environmental sensors and on-device processing within a modular unit. Explainable AI turns detected events into auditable records, which are cryptographically secured to reveal any later alteration. An integrated drone dock can extend coverage when needed. Already deployed at more than 60 sites in Brazil, the platform could strengthen incident response, forensic investigation and accountability across critical infrastructure.

Ricardo Danyalgil Junior
Ricardo Danyalgil Junior is a doctoral researcher in Informatics at the University of Minho, at the ALGORITMI Research Centre, where he is formalising the Operational Model of Evidence: a chain of custody binding edge perception, explainable AI and ledger anchoring, so that what a sensor sees can be proven, not merely asserted. He founded The Danyalgil Company and spent a decade building the Smart Security Tower, now in over sixty deployments across seven Brazilian states, on hospital campuses, in industry and on city streets. His work asks whether surveillance can be made accountable to the people it watches.
