Video surveillance has proven its worth time and again as a security tool and as a means of keeping public spaces and services operating efficiently. Strategic placement of video cameras provides personnel such as law enforcement, facility security guards and public transit employees with the ability to oversee day-to-day operations in frenetic environments – such as airports – and especially in areas that are well-known trouble spots.  Read More

A picture may be worth a thousand words. But, if that's the case, then a video feed is worth at least a thousand pictures. The use of video surveillance to gather and subsequently analyze many hours' worth of visual data has greatly enhanced operational efficiency, security and best practices in myriad sectors, not the least of which is law enforcement. The first responders to a crisis typically include firefighters, EMTs and police officers; however, in many cases, surveillance technology is at the scene of the crime before any of these emergency responders arrive.  Read More

Video surveillance has played an increasingly significant role in keeping day-to-day mass transit operations running smoothly. For example, in October, San Francisco officially implemented the Transit-Only Lane Enforcement program, which uses video surveillance to remotely ticket double parkers. The purpose of TOLE is to help alleviate congestion along public transit routes, especially for morning commuters. The initial pilot program exhibited stellar results: Transportation times were reduced by approximately 20 percent for hundreds of thousands of commuters.  Read More

When it comes to making sure public transit is as safe as possible, it helps to invest in the best wireless networking solutions possible in order to keep riders safe from the moment they board to when they exit. One way to ensure customer safety and maintain communication aboard mass transit systems is to install mesh networking solutions.  Read More

In the industrial automation sector, it's crucial to have an accurate view of all assets within a specific area for several reasons. The industrial automation market is huge – a report published by MarketsandMarkets in September 2015 predicted that it would beworth $202.42 billion by 2020, growing at a compound annual rate of 6.73 starting in 2015. All of that market worth demonstrates a distinct need to protect equipment and make sure employees can do their jobs correctly and safety – and that's where video surveillance comes in.  Read More

Law enforcement officials and first responders utilize a lot of data to strengthen public safety. In fact, the market for wireless broadband in public safety is on the rise. According to a report recently published by MarketsandMarkets, the wireless broadband in public safety market - which includes data transmitted via fixed, mobile and satellite wireless broadband - is projected to grow at a compound annual rate of 6.8 percent from 2015 to 2020. By the end of the forecast period, the market is expected to be worth $15.5 billion.  Read More

Technology continues to advance, and society keeps finding new ways to make work easier and combine the best parts of tech with our daily lives. The Internet of Things, the connected web that facilitates remote management capabilities for objects and appliances, provides a way for people to interact with each other and with the world around them. Along with the advances that allow us to connect the disparate parts of daily living, companies and government organizations strive to create a "smart city."  Read More

Video surveillance has become an important part of how public safety officials respond to and deter crime. To keep an eye in the sky at all times and maintain order in the community, many cities and communities are turning to wireless mesh networks and other kinds of video surveillance solutions to provide adequate monitoring of city streets. Crime can be deterred and perpetrators are more likely to be found when public safety workers use these kinds of technologies in tandem with their efforts.  Read More

When it comes to choosing a video surveillance solution, there are quite a few options. Recent reports have predicted heavy growth in the surveillance solutions sector in the coming years. TechNavio estimated in a September 2015 report that the global wireless video surveillance market would grow at a compound annual rate of 21.35 percent from 2014 to 2019. Another study conducted by 6Wresearch indicated that the IP video surveillance market in India alone would be worth $1.4 billion by 2021. This increase in purchases is due to several things, according to the 6Wresearch report.  Read More
