Identified women will receive a text about the consequences of not covering their hair with a hijab, police said.
This would help prevent "resistance against the hijab law", police said.
Protests were sparked last year by the death in police custody of Mahsa Amini, a young Kurdish woman arrested for allegedly violating the hijab rule.
Since Ms Amini's death a growing number of women have been discarding their veils, particularly in larger cities, despite the risk of arrest.
A police statement published by the state-run Islamic Republic News Agency said the system used so-called "smart" cameras and other tools to identify and send "documents and warning messages to the violators of the hijab law".
Women have been legally required to cover their hair with a hijab (headscarf) since the 1979 Islamic Revolution installed a strict interpretation of religious law. Women who violate the law face fines or arrest.
Saturday's police statement described the veil as "one of the civilizational foundations of the Iranian nation" and urged business owners to uphold the rules through "diligent inspections".

Coming to America soon.
They do it here for masks and to track unvaccinated healthy people who are non-compliant. So I sure can’t criticize Tehran.
Revolutions have consequences.
How would they know who they are?
Required veil, required pronouns. Any difference?
“...a new Dark Age made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of perverted science.”
Can we install cameras to identify men masquerading as women?
‘Big Allah’ is Watching You!
Anyone old enough to remember Iran prior to 1980? Lovely, educated, productive, inventive, modern NORMAL people living their lives as the true God intended...
Paying guys to watch women on those cameras?
Iran is Iran I pray that nation would find some sanity just like my own country needs to find its sanity
The two greatest enemies of radical Islam in the region were the Shah of Iran and Saddam Hussein. Both rulers correctly saw radical Islam as a threat to their power.
No matter. Carter got rid of the Shah, and Bush II got rid of Saddam.
The Islamists should give those two fools certificates of appreciation.
Saddam Hussein paid $25,000 to the families of any suicide bomber who killed an Israeli, and harbored a notorious “A-List” terrorist right there in Bagdad.
First this, then what’s to stop them from banning the wet burqua contests? Big tourist attraction.

They were rebels but then the guys at the beach told them to put the hijabs back on.
Don’t get me wrong. Saddam was a very bad guy. And the Shah was an autocrat.
But the Shah keep the Islamic radicals in his country under control.
And after the Shah fell, Saddam provided a counterbalance to mullah-ruled Iran.
That counterbalance is now gone.
The whole region would have been better off had we not interfered.
I’d certainly like to!
Think “Not Without My Daughter” meets “Eagle Eye”.
I also remember a good number of American feminists supporting the overthrown of the Shah.
