Smart Cities with Connected CCTV Technologies

A pedestrian walking downtown makes a 911 call. What started as a peaceful protest quickly turned into a riot. Police arrive to the area. Officers attempt to identify the instigators from the bystanders and seize weapons that could inflict damage on people or property.

In a traditional city, there may be video surveillance to monitor the high-risk scenario. However, in a smart city, there is real- time information collection, transfer and multi-agency collaboration all working in conjunction to achieve a positive outcome.
Thanks to intelligent solutions, city operations personnel are reaching new levels of true situational awareness. New wearable security devices with IoT connectivity and data streaming capabilities are connecting command centers and first responders so that they are able to assist the injured, collect video evidence for investigation procedures, and send vital information to other response teams.

Smart Cities with CCTV

The CCTV camera is an important part of the security system in a modern city.

A city with a well-functioning CCTV camera system is known as a Smart City. In a Smart City, the police and other security agencies can rely on the video footage from the CCTV cameras to help them fight crime and keep the city safe.

Most of the time, the footage from the CCTV cameras is used to help the police catch criminals. However, the footage can also be used to help the police prevent crime from happening in the first place.

In a Smart City, the police can monitor the footage from the CCTV cameras to see what is happening in the city. This can help them to identify any areas where crime is more likely to occur and to take action to prevent crime from happening.

The CCTV camera is also a very useful tool for traffic management. In a Smart City, the police can use the footage from the CCTV cameras to help them regulate the flow of traffic. This can help to reduce congestion and make the city run more smoothly.

The CCTV camera is also a useful tool for managing crowds. In a Smart City, the police can use the footage from the CCTV cameras to help them keep the crowds under control during large events.

Advanced thermal traffic sensors with integrated vehicle-to-everything technology

Advanced thermal traffic sensors with integrated vehicle-to-everything technology are also improving road safety by detecting pedestrians and cyclists and sharing this data with other V2X-enabled vehicles and infrastructure.
Discover strategies that allow you to move away from individual sensors to connected systems that enable smart, efficient cities with shortened response times across the security, public safety and transportation sectors.
