Back in the day, talking about
government security was all the
rage. In fact, it was about cameras,
software and access control. All these
things were and are still vitally important. The
chatter today is all about cybersecurity and
selecting solutions that are technologically
sound, and offer a reliable investment.
This topic is covered in our Cover Story,
written by Joel White of Bosch Security
and Safety Systems. He writes that video
analytics technology can bring intelligence
to infrastructure by delivering solutions for
traffic flow, which also includes improved
safety, smart parking and data collection.
Safety can be enhanced with video
analytics. Here’s how it works. Early incident
detection enables traffic and transportation
centers to implement necessary workflows
to resolve any irregularities to assist first
responders.
White delves into several key topics that
are pertinent to the government security
market. He will breaks down how to enhance
safety with video analytics, the tool’s
ability to analyze data to extend beyond
safety, and finally a recap on the fact that
these capabilities and solutions may seem
futuristic, but they are not. They are already
being used in many cities and states across
North America.
I think you’ll enjoy our cover story, and
the details about the possibilities of a smart
infrastructure to improve safety and security
in your jurisdiction.
