Advanced Surveillance Technologies in Modern Policing

​In the ongoing battle against crime, law enforcement agencies are increasingly turning to cutting-edge surveillance technologies. These tools not only help deter criminal activity but also play a crucial role in solving cases and preventing future offenses. Let's explore some of the key surveillance technologies being employed by police forces today.

Surveillance Towers and Large Crowds

Surveillance towers are ideal for law enforcement during large-scale events where crime is more likely to take place. For instance, NFL home games are associated with a 2.6% increase in total crimes. A surveillance tower enables police to survey large crowds for any potential risks or criminal behavior such as active shooters, larceny, or vandalism

Law enforcement departments have been increasingly investing in BIGLUX's mobile surveillance towers and with good reason.
BIGLUX's surveillance towers offer a high vantage point and can be deployed anywhere in almost any terrain. These mobile security
camera towers also come with day and night thermal cameras to maintain clear vision, high-performance floodlights for increased
visibility, and advanced video storage capability to store videos, images, and content for later analysis.

Video Analytics Software

Once police have obtained footage of a potential suspect involved in a crime, they can then use video analytics software to scan the footage. Police may be able to obtain an image of a suspect, but may not be able to identify them.

Video analytics software can use artificial intelligence to provide clues such as the type of vehicle the suspect may be driving, the brand of clothing they are wearing, or the brand of their bag. This can be helpful in tracking down vehicles or stores where the suspect may have shopped. Even if police are unable to find the suspect themselves, they may find witnesses or people who are able to identify the suspect.Once police have obtained footage of a potential suspect involved in a crime, they can then use video analytics software to scan the footage.

Facial Recognition Software

In some cases, when police are analyzing video footage taken from a crime scene, they are able to use artificial intelligence to identify potential suspects. Facial recognition software is not always able to determine the identity of someone it analyzes, but it can compare the face of a potential suspect to the mug shots of those with a criminal history. This helps law enforcement narrow down the list of suspects involved in a case. With all of these technologies used together, law enforcement offices can reduce the risk of crimes, catch criminals in the act, and solve crimes.
