Acumen speed cameras in the urban jungle.
According to the presented scale, we see that the need for safety is second only to the physiological need, that is, it is also one of the basic ones. This need is inherent in humans by nature, it manifests itself and is activated at a reflex level. When people feel safe in the sense that they do not need to fight for their lives every day. Accordingly, their attention is concentrated on achieving higher goals: cognitive, aesthetic needs, self-realization. A person living in a large city, a metropolis, feels an impending threat from all sides: an increase in crime, terrorism. To solve these problems, the federal program «Safe City» is being implemented in Russian cities. The city video surveillance system is a fundamental component of the comprehensive security system for city residents. Video information coming from all city cameras allows you to create a complete picture of the events taking place, which is necessary for the prevention and prompt response to emergency situations, for solving crimes and analyzing various incidents, thereby increasing the safety of the urban environment.Video surveillance on city streets, along with the main task of ensuring security, helps to solve a range of auxiliary issues. For example, monitoring the situation on the roads: network cameras installed on the main streets with the busiest highways allow city residents to personally see the situation on the road in real time, assess the level of congestion on the highway and plan the most optimal route. An example of such a system can be seen on the website of the official Acumen dealer, the OSBez company — Video. The cameras broadcast images from the central streets of Podolsk near Moscow. You see the video in real time. Reviews from local residents are extremely positive: “I often watch a great city, my son serves there. Thanks for the cameras. Well done. Good luck.” To implement the task, the OSBez company used Acumen Ai-SD85 high-speed dome cameras. The Ai-SD85 high-resolution external color high-speed dome camera is a universal solution for panoramic surveillance tasks. Combines the functions of maximum overview and point detailed examination of the protected area. Ai-SD85 is applicable for round-the-clock security thanks to the Day/Night function, and also serves reliably in extreme temperature conditions of -55°C~+60°C (up to 4 heaters are used).
The Ai-SD85 camera is very popular for ensuring security in the city. It was also installed as part of the Safe City project in Belgorod on one of the central streets of the city. You can watch the camera in action at the link — video.
Installation of video surveillance at urban development sites and private developments is also popular. This practice is especially common during the construction of an apartment building: the construction process is interesting to watch for both future owners who have made an advance payment for housing and for the managers of the developer company for remote control of the construction of the facility. The official dealer of Acumen, the company «Alliance KB», installed
outdoor high-speed IP camera Ai-SD77 at a construction site in Lipetsk region. The high-resolution Ai-SD77 camera is equipped with network data transfer capabilities, day/night mode, automatic tracking of a moving object and 27x optical zoom. The Ai-SD77 model also has a large number of preset positions (up to 128) and increased pan/tilt speed (up to 300°/120° per sec) for increased patrolling accuracy and precision.
This is just a small part of the examples of how Acumen equipment works to ensure city security. The Acumen equipment range offers a wide selection of high-speed PTZ cameras, including both analog and IP cameras. Along with the use of high-speed cameras at sites with an increased level of danger, it is recommended to install stationary cameras. Cameras must be resistant to various temperature conditions and also have a day/night function. The all-weather Acumen line meets all the conditions for obtaining high-quality images.
A video surveillance system is a very important source of objective information about the current situation, which allows you to make the right decisions in the rapidly changing environment of a modern city. Acumen equipment is installed in cities throughout Russia
P.S. Along with the main functions of video surveillance, there is also a lyrical subtext: citizens who have left their hometown regularly visit the city administration website to look at their «small homeland» in real time.
