School Systems - Museums - Airports - Parking Lots - Bus Terminals - Public Parks - Traffic Monitoring
Public video surveillance systems are on the increase, and for all the right reasons. Daily news reports on television continually show footage captured from video cameras which filmed some significant event; abductions, robbery, traffic accidents, terrorism...
Have you ever been in a public place feeling a little more secure because you see a security camera looking over your shoulder? Whether your at a major airport, busy street corner, or finishing a late evening shopping trip placing your groceries in the back of your car, there is a very good chance you are being watched by a security camera. Public video surveillance has almost become a necessity by todays standards, and this is meant in a positive way. Our security expectations have grown over the years, as technology continues to expand into our daily lives. We expect our local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies to respond quicker and be more informed. Video surveillance systems are a key component to ensuring our expectations are met.
Benefits of Public Sector Surveillance
- Protect Children - Keeping your kids safe is a priority, whether at home, at play, or in school. Many school systems have incorporated security cameras for a multitude of tasks, ranging from back-of-the-bus monitoring, to bus-stop surveillance. Larger schools which have multiple campuses to maintain use video surveillance to help reduce staffing overload. School departments can keep track of outside activities by monitoring all entrances into the school buildings
- Combat Threats - Terrorism is on the rise, and most public places unfortunately are the targets. Airports, convention centers, government buildings have all fell victims to terrorist activities. Video surveillance helps makes it easy to keep the public safe. A camera mounted at all the entrances of a building, in the back hallway or basement access point can prevent intruders from slipping in unnoticed and help discourage violence.
- Prevent Crime and Vandalism – Security cameras placed in the correct locations can help prevent crime from taking place. Security cameras deter criminal activity by showing a presence, inducing fear of being captured on video making for easy identification.
- Remote Monitoring - Today's technology allows for security cameras to be placed just about anywhere, and accessed from any location around the world. Using the internet and other available wired and wireless technologies, remote monitoring has become a stable and viable solution. The use of remote monitoring in the public sector is extremely widespread, enabling centralized monitoring centers to become the norm.
