FindFace Multi has helped law enforcement locate and detain people, including those on the federal wanted list, over three years.
NtechLab’s video analytics system helped identify and detain more than 8,000 suspects in Russia’s Novosibirsk Region over three years. It assisted in about 4,000 detentions in the first ten months of 2026.
An artificial intelligence video analytics system developed by NtechLab helped identify and detain more than 8,000 suspects in Novosibirsk Region over three years, including people on the federal wanted list. The system assisted in about 4,000 detentions in the first ten months of 2026.
The FindFace Multi neural network operates within the protected perimeter of the Safe City complex. It analyzes feeds from city cameras placed in crowded areas and can identify a wanted person in a fraction of a second. Its recognition accuracy is above 99.9%.
The project includes 5,000 cameras. Sergey Tsukar, Novosibirsk Region’s minister of digital development and communications, said the system helped law enforcement detain almost 3,000 suspects in 2025, three times the 2024 figure.

Since April last year, FindFace Multi has also been used to search for missing children. More than 260 children have been found during that time. The Deti 112 service lets residents search for a child using a photograph, which they can provide to law enforcement for submission to the Safe City complex.
NtechLab facial recognition systems are used in several major Russian regions, including Nizhny Novgorod and Samara regions, Krasnodar Territory, Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Area and the North Caucasus Federal District. The company has also launched its first projects in Kaluga Region.
