Mexico. Key Business Process Solutions tells us about the concept of safe city, this term that seems to be an allegorical resource rather than a reality in the country, after all, the ENVIPE (National Survey of Victimization and Perception of Public Security 2014) estimated in the Federal District that "69.2% of the population of 18 years and over considers Insecurity as the most important problem that afflicts today in the state".
So, what do they talk about when the term arises, since the perception of the citizen is a very different one, it is actually an interesting solution not only for the supervision of the city and its streets, which it lacks so much, but also in the expanded concept of video surveillance where it acquires new purposes and scopes by being able to monitor with great efficiency, the different areas that comprise what we understand as "city", as an example the surveillance of the progress of works under construction, providing an optimal visualization both day and night, using cameras, with which the work can be verified 24 hours a day and this is a reality when the integration of technology is carried out under concrete projects of constant growth and in evolution and not in terms of 6 years, although we are going.
Sporting events?, these technologies were already put to the test to the fullest, during the 2006 World Cup in Germany in Kaiserslautern one of the 12 host cities of the contest. Seventy-seven Mobotix cameras were part of the state-of-the-art video surveillance technology used to ensure the safety of fans during this World Cup.
Metrobus, Metro Transport System, Public Transport Network? Arriva is a company that offers train and bus connections in several provinces of the Netherlands, where it equipped all its buses and trains with video cameras from the outset, so that the safety of passengers and the driver can be guaranteed. In order to further improve security, the company has replaced the analog cameras of its buses on the Achterhoek Rivierenland line with a new generation of IP cameras.
The cameras had to ensure high-resolution video and high-quality sound recordings. After a testing phase of several months, the company has chosen Mobotix's Q24 360° cameras to make the interior of its buses safe spaces, while other M12 cameras control the front of the buses. In total, the buses currently use 210 mobile cameras of the same brand.
Parking lots and public areas? Security in public car parks in Ghent, Belgium regulates all car parks in and around the urban area. Ghent has a total of more than 22,000 parking spaces on the street and 4,700 spaces in garages and car parks, an interesting concept for the null supervision of these spaces here in the capital of the country.
Mobotix's M12 day/night cameras can be installed to meet this pressing need in any urban area, in sports facilities, car parks, public schools, transport stations and/or the main streets of the city. Another function that this system can cover is to improve and regulate road traffic and monitor vehicles. In order to recognize the license plate numbers of vehicles in circulation both day and night, a high digital resolution is needed. Law enforcement requires images that can be used to extract clues and to be able to prove that a vehicle has passed through exactly a certain site.
As a result of these various measures, digital IP technology will increasingly be used to replace analog IP technology. Network cameras already offer the required solutions and meet the requirements of the law for obtaining evidence. Mobotix offers one of the best image qualities on the market, the recording of images, as well as storage, is done, thanks to image processing, at the level of the video sensor with a resolution of 3 megapixels. Something that the police know how to appreciate when it comes to identifying license plates and people. In addition, the overview is better, so that the number of cameras installed can be reduced.
