Solutions for Municipalities

Crime can be a constant issue in cities of all sizes. Protecting residents, property and communities is critical, but the associated costs of 24-7 patrol by police and security officers can be staggering. The expense of trying to monitor a large number of cameras is just as overwhelming, plus it is often ineffective, as the ability to stay attentive drops off dramatically after as few as 20 minutes. Additionally, the low quality of some video recordings can make investigations difficult, resulting in crimes going unsolved and perpetrators remaining on city streets.

But now there is an intelligent alternative: the VideoIQ iCVR. The VideoIQ iCVR combines automated event detection, a built-in DVR and integrated video management into a single solution — all driven by next-generation analytics.

The VideoIQ iCVR creates the foundation for remote guarding and accurate, proactive warning of threats, with an immediate response that prevents crime. The powerful combination of the VideoIQ iCVR and remote guarding can save municipalities up to 75 percent of their security costs. With the iCVR and remote guarding, you can:

  • Prevent crime before it happens.
    Remote guarding is far better than passive video systems that only record and provide evidence after the damage has been done. On-site police and security officers can’t be everywhere at the same time, and they can’t be watching all cameras at the same time, but remote guards and the iCVR can.
  • Create a physical presence at the protected site.
    Unlike alarm monitored systems, the iCVR’s live video and audio stops intruders in their tracks, and allows remote guards to guide police to fast apprehensions. This presence on the site sets it apart from alarm monitoring.
  • Watch all locations continuously.
    Even the best guard tours only patrol the premises once every hour. The iCVR watches continuously, does not fall asleep, look the wrong way or even blink.
  • Protect outdoor grounds and assets easily.
    Traditional outdoor sensor systems are expensive to install and notorious for generating false alarms. The iCVR provides immediate confirmation with definitive video verification of the incident.
