Overview
Creating a secure and serene environment is essential for cities to develop and thrive. With increasing urban densities, cities need more advanced technologies to safeguard people and property. In years past, urban management relied entirely on manpower to ensure safety – police and private security guards. With the emergence of video technologies, cities welcomed a much more efficient way for keeping a sharp eye on things. Now, a very basic video security system makes first response and crime investigation much easier and faster.
This is, of course, only the first step to more efficient and intelligent urban management. The graph below shows the general evolution of a safe city. More than just intelligent applications, eventually the insights gained from this process could generate surprising new applications, enabling any safe city to be perpetually improving.
Phase 1
Basic video security: Build CCTV video security systems that cover critical areas of a city and integrate video data between such areas to visualize the underlying security status at city levels.
Phase 2
Intelligent Video System: Implement AI capabilities and applications on top of public security resources to promote the intelligent transformation of a city’s video system, turning video into IoT data. Clients will likely benefit from higher efficiency in patrols, law enforcement, and resource scheduling at this phase.
Phase 3
Data Fusion and Sharing: Fuse IoT data generated in the intelligent video system with data from information networks according to practical business needs, then provide value-added services and applications. Clients will quickly enjoy precise situational awareness around a city.
What we offer
Following the course of action outlined above, it is easy to see that any Safe City development will be a multi-phase process. Each step into a new phase brings new possibilities and opportunities. The graphic below shows a full range of control systems available for these phases.
Phase 1: Lay the foundation for an urban security system that will keep growing
Ground Control System
Security cameras designed for complex urban scenarios are available to meet public security needs. The Ground Control System serves as the foundation of the urban security infrastructure. Cameras placed in key locations and along main city roads continually provide valuable information for decision-makers.
Air Control System
By deploying high zoom-rate PTZs, positioning systems, PanoVu cameras, drones, and anti-UAV equipment at the high points of the city, an airspace protection system is formed. The mixture of dynamic and static nodes and the combination of global perception and detail capture makes the Air Control System an integral part of urban security.
Mobile Control System
Fixed monitoring usually covers important urban scenes, but is limited in scope. For the city as a whole, this means there will still be some blind spots. The Mobile Control System is tailored to solve this problem. The system consists of body-worn cameras and portable PTZ domes for flexible and agile responses, enabling rapid deployment in emergency situations and where fixed monitoring is not available or feasible.
Alarm Control System
Installing an Alarm Control System can greatly reduce the need for human resources, but it must be built on strict accuracy. Smart Detection Technology ensures that alarms received by the command center are valid and worthy of a response. At the same time, implementing emergency alarms throughout the city enhances the sense of security for civilians, as police officers can initiate video calls with individuals at risk or under threat before an incident occurs.
Phase 2: Introduce a new control system that will lift the intelligent level of Safe City
Intelligent Control System
As AI technologies evolve, urban security enters an exciting new intelligent era with unprecedented improvements in efficiency. With vast AI capabilities and deep expertise in the video-based security industry, advanced deep learning algorithms are integrated into intelligent perception devices at the edge and powerful computing systems in the cloud. This combination produces effective and precise data, enabling even more functional and insightful security applications.
Data Center
The five layers of control systems come together to create comprehensive coverage of a city, but this alone is not enough. A complete Safe City requires the construction of a central system—the brain that connects thousands of devices across the city. To create a visualized, real-time, and intelligent central system, a full range of central equipment is needed, including fail-safe video storage solutions, high-definition large-screen displays, transmission infrastructure, central computing resources, big data platforms, and AI-algorithm training facilities. Additionally, a powerful application system enables the sharing of rich, multi-dimensional capabilities based on advanced data processing and analytics.
Phase 3: Break new ground with partners and end users around the globe
The mining industry solution ensures the workforce complies with safety regulations, helping users conduct continuous monitoring in critical areas with AI-powered analytics, and meet the requirements to identify, manage, and prevent potential risks.
