Case Studies
Background - City Wide Deployment of Security Cameras
WCCTV has partnered with STS360 (Security Technology Solutions), a Texas-based integrated security technology solutions provider, to install 1,500 WCCTV Rapid Deployment Cameras across Dallas as part of the City's and the Dallas Police Department’s (DPD) six-year public safety project.
The Challenge
To ensure the seamless rollout of such a large-scale camera deployment, WCCTV needed to partner with a well-established and trusted security solution installer.
Alongside the camera installation process, the City also required additional integration pathways for the cameras into the City of Dallas Command and Control Center, facial recognition system, and FirstNet and VZW 5G development platform.
This integration pathway was essential to the City's overall security strategy, and would allow multiple agencies to collaborate across one platform.
The Solution
The collaboration between WCCTV and STS360 resulted in the successful deployment of the pole cameras with minimal impact on city officials or the general public.
All the WCCTV pole cameras are easy to install on any utility pole or building, making them ideal for rapid deployment and the ideal crime-fighting tool for overt surveillance and security operations.
The WCCTV 4G Cameras have a range of features such as an HD PTZ Camera, 4TB of onboard recording capacity, wireless transmission technology, and remote viewing via a free mobile app or desktop software.
STS360 also assisted in installing 500 WCCTV Covert Pole Cameras, which provide an all-in-one portable covert video surveillance solution that blends into the surroundings while offering an HD PTZ camera, 4TB video recording, and 4G LTE transmission.
All the overt and covert pole cameras have been fully integrated with the City of Dallas Command and Control Center, FirstNet and VZW 5G development platform. With further development, they can be integrated with the City of Dallas and DPD’s Facial Recognition System.
The Result
WCCTV and STS360 deployed 1,500 WCCTV Rapid Deployment Overt and Covert Pole Cameras across the City of Dallas as part of a six-year project to improve public safety. The cameras are operational 24/7 and can be relocated to target crime hotspots if necessary.
The cameras are viewed and controlled remotely from the City of Dallas Command and Control Center, which allows users to assess situations easily and record evidential footage when needed. Also, having the cameras allows the users to fully inform law enforcement of the situations taking place across the City of Dallas, allowing the DPD to respond appropriately.
Having the overt cameras in place not only improves public safety from a response point of view but also acts as a deterrent to would-be felons. Likewise, the covert cameras enable law enforcement to assess situations covertly and gather vital evidence on criminal activities across the city.
