Real-time streaming and cloud storage of videos make IP-based security cameras indispensable tools for smart city solutions.

 

Internet protocol cameras come in handy for those wanting to set up smart city solutions. Solutions for public safety, solid waste management, and traffic management are some of the areas where IP-based security cameras are used. The solutions developed by NEC India use them for intelligent monitoring of activity.

Video analytics is one of the benefits that can be accrued from IP-based security cameras, making it indispensable for reducing the dependence on security personnel for monitoring. Nowadays, it is possible to combine them with facial recognition technology that enables authentication of a person based on biometrics.

To facilitate smart city solutions, there are many types of IP-based security cameras. The pan-tilt-zoom cameras are used in smart waste management systems as remote operators can adjust their field of view and angle, allowing users to track events with greater control.

Public safety solutions use IP-based security cameras to detect unusual movements like sudden running, loitering, etc., at places like railway stations and airports. They are also used for security screening at critical places.

They can prove indispensable in smart traffic management as they can be used to provide live feeds of traffic junctions in real time. AI-powered solutions for disciplining traffic, like automatic number plate recognition and red light violation detection, can be used with the help of IP-based cameras. Real-time synchronization of the traffic signals is possible using cues like long waiting lines.

 

Many of the IP-based security cameras will be able to transmit data to the cloud in real-time, making remote monitoring possible. This data can also be stored and retrieved anytime by the authorities, proving it indispensable for ensuring better security of banking facilities like ATMs.

IP-based security cameras have made it possible to set up integrated command and control centers. These centers can monitor live feeds from multiple IP-based security cameras.
