Milestone Video Software gives Italian City San Lucido visual advantages in attracting tourists
San Lucido in southern Italy is dependent on tourism, and needed a way to keep the city safe and attractive for citizens and tourists.
The first step was to use technology to heighten the security level in the city to deal with incidents, improve city cleanliness and avoid graffiti in public areas.
San Lucido also wanted to become more environmentally friendly by finding a way to keep the city clean and tidy for the benefit of the tourists and for the convenience of the citizens. They needed a solution that could grow with the city and help them utilize technology to become a Smart City – a city using a digital infrastructure to perform better services.
SOLUTION
Milestone Partner GSA di Guido Luigi based in Polistena RC, installed Milestone XProtect Express to manage 36 Axis cameras located in public areas in the city such as streets, parks and public buildings. The local police and security managers of public institutions can get an overview of all cameras with XProtect Smart Client, an easy-to-manage timeline that enables the police to examine incidents quickly and make informed decisions. The Milestone Mobile client for smartphones enables rapid response by the local police force as they can have full situational awareness even when patrolling.
ADVANTAGE
San Lucido has successfully entered the first phase of becoming a Smart City. Because of the high image quality, surveillance video can be used to identify perpetrators or graffiti painters. Abandoned waste can easily be detected to ensure the city stays an attractive tourist destination. Because of Milestone’s open platform technology San Lucido can integrate with third-party software to become even smarter in the future. The city is also able to expand the solution easily to cover more parts of the city.
“We have taken the first steps to become a city of the future with the help of Milestone’s video software. We are also considering integrating Milestone’s software with other technologies such as license plate recognition and video analytics to become a true Smart City” – Roberto Pizzutti, Mayor, San Lucido City.
