Intelligent Video Monitoring Alleviates City’s Downtime & Keeps Systems Current
VIDEO SOLUTIONS
With a population of more than 500,000 residents, Sacramento is the state capital of California and one of its largest cities. The city currently has over 1,000 video surveillance cameras deployed across the metropolitan area and is expected to reach over 1,700 security devices. Sacramento’s information technology (IT) department wanted a security solution that would monitor the network health of both legacy and new devices in near real-time.
“We were becoming overwhelmed with false alarms,” said Lily Su, IT Sacramento city manager. “We were spending time looking for problems instead of being notified when our system was actually vulnerable. It became even more difficult as the scope of our security network grew over time and device failures occurred in remote areas.”
