We will have to see whether this kind of technical leadership converts into swift mass-market adoption or not.
City of College Park, Georgia officials announced recently that Iron
Sky, Inc. will outfit their city with its first street-level video
surveillance cameras. The system utilizes Pan/Tilt/Zoom cameras and
a wireless
mesh solution to enable any authorized user to view and control any
camera at any location from any computer on the City's LAN/WAN,
enhancing the city's reputation as “Georgia's global city.”
“The use of cameras will help us take any step necessary to improve the
overall safety of this city,” said Interim Police Chief Tom Kuzniacki.
“They will help us monitor some situations before they become
problematic, and in emergencies, staff can view the cameras in real time
on the laptop inside their vehicles.”
Video
surveillance cameras will be installed at Main Street, Old National
Highway, and Camp Creek Parkway, and College Park officials plan to
expand in the future.
Iron Sky has distinguished itself in the security market by providing
“Better Tools to Fight Crime,” including IP-based cameras and
non-proprietary software that can be customized to address the needs of
each client. By selecting Iron Sky surveillance tools, existing College
Park cameras will integrate seamlessly with new equipment.
“We are proud to be the solution selected by the City of College Park,
and are fully committed to working with Chief Kuzniacki to support his
innovative approach to protecting citizens,” stated Keith
Drummond, Iron Sky President & CEO.
Iron Sky video
surveillance management software also gives College Park personnel
the ability to view installed cameras in any location from any computer
on the city's LAN/WAN using only a standard Web browser.
“Iron
Sky can be as big or small as necessary to match the clients'
needs,” said Iron
Sky General Manager Bob Carter. “College Park is unique in that they
own their utility poles and have their own power company who can perform
the installation under the guidance of an Iron Sky project manager.”
Highly adaptable Iron Sky technology also allows College Park — home to
Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, the world's busiest airport —
to incorporate an unlimited number of locations throughout the city.
Future plans include surveillance cameras at the Georgia International
Convention Center and other high traffic areas.
The Iron
Sky system allows law enforcement and emergency responders to
observe building floor plans and street maps, making more informed
decisions during emergencies. Iron Sky also integrates other
applications and information sources, such as license plate recognition
and gunshot detection software in one, graphics driven interface.
