From data to situational awareness in city management

In situations requiring a rapid response, access to reliable information from multiple sources simultaneously is crucial.

Video surveillance, ANPR, body-worn cameras, alarm systems, IoT sensors, and solutions used by municipal units generate data describing different aspects of the same event.

When information remains fragmented, the operator must manually piece it together from multiple systems, which increases analysis time and the risk of missing critical correlations.

squareTec creates shared environments that enable data correlation and present information within a unified context of location, time, and event.

We can integrate, among others:

• video surveillance,
• ANPR systems,
• body-worn cameras,
• IoT sensors and devices,
• location data,
• alarm systems,
• municipal and logistics systems,
• security platforms.

The result is faster development of situational awareness and more efficient operational decision-making.

Video surveillance and image analysis for city security

City surveillance remains one of the most important sources of information regarding the situation in public spaces.

However, the mere presence of cameras does not guarantee system effectiveness. In environments with hundreds or thousands of cameras, the ability to quickly search for information, analyze images, and automatically detect events requiring operator attention becomes critical.

squareTec integrates VMS systems, monitoring platforms, and analytical tools to create environments that support the daily operations of monitoring centers.

Our solutions can support:

• monitoring of streets and public spaces,
• protection of municipal facilities,
• analysis of pedestrian and vehicle traffic,
• event detection in specific zones,
• analysis of archived footage,
• automatic operator alerting.

This allows operators to focus on events requiring a response rather than continuously watching multiple screens.

Body-worn cameras and on-site information

In operational activities, the ability to obtain information directly from the scene of an intervention is crucial.

Body-worn cameras enable the recording of operations, real-time video transmission, and the securing of evidence.

squareTec integrates Body-Worn Camera systems with VMS platforms, operations centers, and incident management systems.

The solution enables:

• live video streaming to the operations center,
• centralized material management,
• secure recording archiving,
• material search and analysis,
• use of recordings in investigative proceedings,
• integration with city surveillance.

Services gain access to information both during active operations and in the process of subsequent incident analysis.

ANPR and vehicle traffic analysis in the city

Automatic Number Plate Recognition systems are a vital source of information on vehicle traffic in the city.

With a large number of measurement points, the ability to quickly search for information and analyze data from multiple locations becomes paramount.

The squareTec ANPR Dashboard allows for the centralization and analysis of data from multiple ANPR systems.

The solution supports:

• event searching,
• route analysis,
• working with historical data,
• defining alerts,
• data visualization on maps,
• traffic pattern analysis.

This allows operators and services to obtain information faster to support decision-making.

Crisis management and coordination of municipal services

During crisis events, the time it takes to obtain information has a direct impact on the effectiveness of the response.

Infrastructure failures, security threats, mass gatherings, and weather events require combining data from multiple sources and providing a common operating picture for various units.

squareTec builds environments that enable the aggregation of information from monitoring, mobile devices, security systems, and other data sources.

This allows us to support:

• crisis management centers,
• municipal monitoring centers,
• law enforcement agencies,
• infrastructure operators,
• public safety units.

AI analytics supporting monitoring and public safety

The growing number of cameras, sensors, and data sources makes manual analysis of all information increasingly difficult.

That is why organizations responsible for security are increasingly using automated data and image analysis tools.

squareTec implements AI solutions that support:

• object detection and classification,
• behavioral analysis,
• anomaly detection,
• event identification,
• correlation of information from various systems,
• alarm prioritization.

The goal is not to replace the operator, but to provide them with the right information at the right time.

IoT and Edge Computing for smart urban infrastructure

Cities generate data beyond just video monitoring.

Environmental sensors, IoT devices, and infrastructure systems provide information on urban space operations, traffic, equipment status, and events affecting resident safety.

squareTec integrates data from various sources and utilizes Edge Computing technologies to enable information analysis as close to the source as possible.

This allows you to:

• reduce response times,
• limit network load,
• identify events faster,
• increase the reliability of the operational environment.

‍

Data control, cybersecurity, and information security

Systems used by public administration and emergency services are responsible for processing information of significant operational importance.

Therefore, infrastructure security, cybersecurity, and data control are just as important as the functionality of the systems themselves.

squareTec designs solutions that enable:

• on-premises deployments,
• hybrid deployments,
• data access control,
• user activity auditing,
• data archiving,
• integration with existing IT infrastructure.

The organization retains control over how information is processed and where data is stored.

‍

Dedicated software for cities and the public sector

Every city has its own infrastructure, processes, and operational requirements.

That is why, alongside off-the-shelf products, we create solutions designed for the specific needs of an organization.

We develop:

• operational platforms,
• decision-making dashboards,
• operator applications,
• analytical modules,
• data integrators,
• system interfaces.

This ensures that technology can be adapted to the organization, rather than the organization to the technology.
