Ensuring the safety and security of citizens and visitors is key to the success and progress of any city. This is especially true for Atlanta being one of the most multicultural cities in the U.S., and it attracts investment from across the globe. As with any large city, Atlanta is becoming more reliant on the use of visual intelligence to help identify and resolve safety and security incidents faster and more precisely.

City of Atlanta

Atlanta has a resident population of over 420,000. It is the cultural and economic center of the Atlanta metropolitan area, which is home to more than five million people and is the ninth largest metropolitan area in the United States. Additionally, Atlanta is one of the United States’ leading tourist destinations, both for Americans and those visiting the U.S. from abroad. As of 2010, the City was the seventh-most visited city in the US, with over 35 million visitors per year.

Ciber Inc., selected IPSecurityCenter™, from CNL Software which has been deployed to protect a number of large cities across the globe, including Washington D.C. and Manchester in the UK. It was proven to provide the resilience and scalability needed to connect, manage and distribute the huge amount of data generated by the City.

IPSecurityCenter works by connecting the diverse range of systems into a common operating platform ensuring operators do not need to worry about the underlying technology, and allowing them to focus on identifying and solving crime. The system will give the Atlanta Police Department the capability to integrate public and private video systems, video with computer-aided dispatch (CAD), into an integrated suite of emergency dispatch applications that allow call takers and dispatchers to manage incident information more efficiently.

• [Data Management - Data Visibility]
  

  The massive amount of video coming into the VIC would be impossible to manage, creating “information overload” without IPSecurityCenter’s ability to intelligently catalog, map and visualize the right video at the right time.

• [Cost Reduction - Installation]
  

  The solutions offers all of the agencies involved huge cost savings.If each of the agencies increased their own infrastructure to levels provided by the VIC, the cost would run into millions of dollars.
