The University of Arizona vaccination site is using ALPR technology to help track vehicles into and out of the POD as well as identify issues in distribution and efficiency.

Two common options for surveillance and perimeter protection are visible cameras with near infrared illumination capabilities and thermal imaging cameras—both are optimal for distinct situations. However, optimal lighting isn’t always available or guaranteed, especially when a scenario calls for 24-hour awareness for security applications, including outdoor, remote, or rural locations, or if there is need to see beyond the fence line to identify and react to incoming threats. 

Breakthroughs in artificial intelligence (AI) and other digital technology, including faster, more affordable bandwidth, are revolutionizing the ways cities conduct surveillance and provide security. Major cities throughout the U.S. are utilizing turnkey systems that integrate video footage, access management, traffic monitoring and body-worn cameras into central high-speed networks. 

One thing is clear: the hybrid model will be permanent. Occupier requirements are constantly evolving and they are driving new considerations for landlords and workspace providers. Let’s review the core considerations and components required to create a secure tech operating layer that reassures the integrity of the workspace, operation and infrastructure while delivering a great occupier experience. 

The Goffert Stadium in the Netherlands needed to upgrade its legacy security system, which had fallen into disrepair and was no longer fit for purpose.

The W.E.O’Neil Construction Company installed a Security Management System for its high-end mixed-use West Edge development project in West Los Angeles.

The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission (PTC) has installed video cameras as part of its most recent modernization efforts that replaced analog roadside cameras used to monitor traffic flow and conditions.

The right video management system can make an organization smarter and more efficient, as well as more secure. A new resource for businesses—particularly multisite businesses—aims to help security leaders evaluate cloud video surveillance systems.

As COVID-19 remains a threat, security leaders at sporting events and entertainment venues need to pivot and change course as needed — relying on security technology, procedures and policies to support the health and safety of players, fans, visitors and staff. Here is a sampling of security technologies offered.
