A new eBook developed by Synectics has simplified the process of making the right decisions about AI surveillance technology for public space operators.

Continuous monitoring of public spaces, identifying risks, and investigating incidents requires significant resources and is open to mistakes. AI Surveillance Solutions for Public Spaces looks at how AI can help to solve this.

The free guide explains how AI-driven video surveillance analytics can be used proactively and forensically to protect members of the public. It is aimed at those responsible for security in public spaces, from towns and cities, hospitals, and transport hubs to campuses and major event venues.

Jon Squires, Head of Technology Partnerships and Enterprise Solutions at Synectics, said: “AI is a trending topic and a growth area across all industries. However, when it comes to surveillance, the information can be overwhelming. That’s why we’ve put together this guide, covering everything from the tech operators' needs to real-world applications and privacy considerations. It explains how AI can be a valuable part of the team.”

The eBook covers:

• Essential technology, including network infrastructure, video management systems, and integrated AI engines.
• Specific applications of video surveillance in public spaces, including crime prevention, person of interest search, and crowding alerts.
• Safeguarding privacy and the responsible use of facial recognition.
