摘要

Building and running a smart city means you can make the right decisions quickly and react faster, redirecting resources to where they'll be most effective. With security at the heart, make your city more attractive, your services more efficient, and your communities more personal to your citizens and visitors. Make it smart, make it secure.The survey results indicate that two thirds of respondents already have or are developing a Smart City agenda. With budgets under constant pressure, can existing CCTV infrastructure provide part of the solution and save money?Traffic and transport, environmental services and community safety are high priorities for a smart cities agenda and CCTV probably already monitors key areas.

Traffic data is central to this vision as it provides both immediate information on congestion, but also builds up into a larger picture of patterns of journeys taken.
