Video surveillance has become an increasingly important tool for municipalities in their efforts to protect their valuable assets from vandalism and theft. The constraints on municipal budgets have also forced cities and towns to become more creative in how they address this problem. Rather than adding expensive employees to a budget, the municipality can leverage existing employees through the use of surveillance technology.
With the advances in surveillance and wireless technology, municipalities can both save money and deploy effective solutions for protecting people and property. With 24/7 monitoring of the surveillance cameras, the system provides real-time information to police and other emergency responders, with detail regarding the site and suspects that can save time and lives. These systems can store information critical to a police investigation, serving as a valuable tool assisting in the prosecution and conviction of criminals.
In conjunction with wireless technology a video surveillance system can be quickly and inexpensively installed at the high risk/high traffic public areas that need to be monitored. The increased public safety benefits that these systems provide can also encourage more consumer traffic to stores and restaurants, increasing business and local revenue.
Network video surveillance systems are some of the most useful tools for fighting crime and protecting citizens and property, acting both to detect and deter. These systems can create a secure environment for the citizens of the community and can help first responders to pinpoint where their assistance is most needed.
