University Surveillance - Unlocking a Safer, Smarter Future

How can universities better protect people without compromising their ability to be inclusive and welcoming? In essence, they need to think differently about bringing together the various technologies and data sources already available.

How Can Transport Operators Capitalize on Cloud Capabilities?

Having recently demonstrated a preview of cloud capabilities at Euro Bus 2018, Iain Stringer, Divisional Director at Synectics, talks about how cloud solutions can help bus and coach operators to be more efficient and effective in protecting passengers.

Four Ways Technology Can Increase Bus Ridership

With bus ridership falling outside major population centers, there's real opportunity to reverse this decline by making the most of existing on-board systems.

Evidence Management

Here we explore why the way evidence is handled can be more important than the quality.

The Value of Intelligently Integrated Surveillance in Transportation Networks

To become a ‘Safe City’ a new level of situational awareness and data collaboration is required that is all encompassing. This is where intelligently integrated surveillance solutions can play an extremely valuable role.

The Future of Dataveillance

In the final installment of the three part series on Dataveillance we get answers to some key questions. What is next for Dataveillance? How is it set to evolve? What is going to help or hinder that process?

Dataveillance – From Concept to Control Room

Software Development Director Neil Waudby shares how to turn a surveillance concept into reality, and about how Dataveillance has influenced key developments within Synectics’ flagship command and control solution – Synergy 3.

Data Protection and the Importance of Information Integrity

On-vehicle CCTV and the volumes of data captured by operators are rising exponentially. It is vital that the end-user is fully aware of and understands the legal obligations of both management and distribution of the data.

The Role of Surveillance in Intelligent Airports

With airport operators under increasing pressure to protect passengers, prioritizing customer service alongside safety, security, and operational efficiency has become an unavoidable balancing act. We explore why one of the fastest routes to an Intelligent Airport is through surveillance.

Dataveillance – Detecting the Danger ‘Lost’ in Data

Operators working in today’s data-rich environments cannot access the level of situational awareness they need using visual information alone.What’s needed is a way to combine and analyze data from this and other sources. Dataveillance does exactly this.

Why Surveillance is the Perfect Enabler for Unified Communications

As organizations of all sizes are being increasingly challenged to meet tight operational schedules and rising customer demands, the ability to integrate real-time communications with data from other critical systems has never been a more attractive proposition.

Understanding Thermal Cameras for Surveillance Applications

Find out about the latest developments in thermal camera technology, and the key considerations when looking to integrate this technology into wider surveillance systems.

Drone Technology Reaches Beyond a Standalone Surveillance Solution

Drone technology offers much more than standalone surveillance. It offers a safer, and in many cases more economical, route to accessing and integrating data vital to site safety, efficiency, and security.

How Utility Surveillance Can Deliver Business Critical Objectives

Using open architecture solutions could enable utilities businesses to detect and respond to threats quickly, or even prevent incidents from occurring, reducing their impact on operational performance, most notably service downtime.

Transportation Infrastructure

All transport hubs face two challenges: keeping people and property safe, and ensuring that both can pass from entrance to exit efficiently. This roundtable explores how surveillance teams can support this activity with new levels of situational awareness.

The Benefits of Workflows

Surveillance for high demand environments like airports, data centers, casinos, and ports, requires streamlined incident management and effective decision making to ensure operational efficiency and the security of assets and people.

LNG Infrastructure – Connecting Ship to Shore

Learn what the key requirements are for linking vessels and onshore assets, and what terminal operators should look for when specifying surveillance solutions.

Choosing the Right Surveillance Camera

When selecting the right camera for the right application its all in the details. Learn about the importance of sensors in camera selection, particularly for organizations considering an HD upgrade.

Safeguarding Gaming Surveillance

Data has never been more useful to the gaming industry; it has also never been more important to protect. With the right redundancy and resilience measures in place, nothing has to be left to chance.

Protecting More Than Passengers

Although some operators may view on-vehicle CCTV as an added expense for compliance reasons, it has increasingly become an invaluable asset and sound investment for the coach and bus industry.

On-Vehicle CCTV Finds Value in the Cloud

With 85% of vehicles now fitted with CCTV, the coach and bus sector is generating huge amounts of data. Ongoing trends towards more cameras per vehicle and higher quality images, mean all this data has to be stored somewhere.

Safeguarding Passengers, Equipment, and Property

Transport operators need to ensure the safety of staff and passengers, as well as protect property and equipment from damage. They may also have to mitigate the effects of crime which can prevent the public from using transport services.

The Changing Face of Airport Security

A key metric for airport owners and operators is seeing a return on investment, which in turn means integrated security management solutions must have new levels of longevity, scalability and resilience.

Making the Driver's Cab a Safe Place to Work

Together with an operator attitude that places driver as well as passenger safety at the heart of everyday operations, onboard technology can make the driver’s cab a safe place to work.

COEX - A Legacy of Longevity

2015 marked 30 years of COEX innovation so we took the opportunity to reflect on the importance of this milestone with Darren Alder, the current Divisional Director for Oil and Gas.

The Benefits of Wireless Connectivity for Bus Operators

The UK Department of Transport’s Annual Bus Statistics shows a steady rise in the percentage of buses in England fitted with CCTV. How many are taking advantage of Wi-Fi to efficiently handle footage and manage on board systems?

Do You Have a Plan for Data Storage?

One of the most important aspects of any successful surveillance system is choosing the most appropriate type of storage. If not planned for properly, inadequate storage can leave a system unfit for purpose and restrict users from deploying new technologies.

Oil and Gas Reaching for Higher Ground with Integrated Security and Surveillance

The oil and gas industry is often characterized as a cautious adopter of new security and surveillance solutions. But is that really a fair assumption?

Can Gaming Surveillance Become a Profit Center?

In recent years the global gaming industry has undergone massive change, with more sure to come. We wanted to understand the specific demands this has placed on surveillance, and how casino surveillance departments and systems are evolving in response.

Delivering on the Promise of Intelligent Integration

End users, integrators and manufacturers, working together, can successfully deliver on the promise of intelligent integration.
