What is a ‘smart place’?
What is a ‘smart place’?
Smart places are essentially about integrating technology to help authorities run public services in a cannier fashion. Smart technology can drive efficiencies, open up options for businesses, and improve the lives of communities and visitors.
We can help you select from the huge range of cameras, sensors and integrated information feeds to make sure your smart services deliver what you need.
- The better-connected a city is, the more efficient it will be. A comprehensive surveillance network will improve visibility, and drive outcomes, in all sorts of different ways.
Connected
- Making swift, intelligent, well-informed decisions - based on real data and insights - can make all the difference. Proactivity is the key to a safe, efficient and harmonious place to live, work, and run a business.
Decisive
- Surveillance is about more than just public safety, it’s about improving quality of life - cost effectively. Small incremental improvements helped by a constant stream of valuable data will save the local authority time and money, all while making the city a better place to be.

Personalise your places
How you use the technology depends on your local challenges, your ambitions and the limits of your imagination. Want some ideas? Here are a few for starters:
- provide free public wi-fi
- reduce congestion
- predict and prioritise flood responses
- monitor and manage air quality
- get insight into traffic and crowd behaviours
- give real-time travel updates.
Where it’s working today
We’ve been helping places across the UK get smart for years now, including Cardiff, Gloucester, Glasgow, Nottingham, Newcastle, Leicester, Calderdale, Sussex, West Yorkshire and Canterbury.
In ‘stay safe, get smart’, we discuss using your existing CCTV infrastructure for cost effective smart place transformation.
Find out how Gloucester city council used their old CCTV system as the foundation for their smart city network, and how they now offer free public wi-fi.
Surveillance cameras
The type of camera you need depends entirely on the time, the place and the infrastructure. We have the full range of static, vehicular, mobile and wearable cameras for you to pick and choose from, as and when the need arises.

Surveillance networks
No surveillance system is complete without a robust network - connecting everything to one place. If the cameras are your eyes, the network is the brain - joining the dots and helping your people make sense of what’s happening, and when. The best part about surveillance networks, is you don’t need to visit each camera to get its respective footage. This saves time, costs and effort - and allows you to be proactive about your security.

Surveillance command and control centres
The beating heart of your surveillance system - where the data from your network is collected, collated, interpreted and stored. But designing and installing one to suit your unique system is complex. It needs specialist equipment, knowledge and experience. We can take care of your entire control room, from providing and installing the technology, to training your staff - and everything in between.

End-to-end surveillance system maintenance
The main benefit of a managed surveillance system is that, once it goes live, we will maintain it for you end-to-end. That gives you more time to focus on the security itself.
