AXIS Cameras Used to Prevent Crime in City of Serra

admin — Fri, 08 Jul 2011 15:35:49 +0000

From the period ranging from 1999 to 2004 the gross state product of Serra (a bordering city of Vitoia, the capital of Espirito Santo) experienced a 5% hike. As is common with many large urban centers, this growth caused a significant increase in violent crime. In order to address the rising crime rates, the city took prompt action to ensure the safety of its businesses and residents.

At the end of 2007 the city of Serra determined that their 18 limited coverage cameras, many still utilizing analog technology, was insufficient in supporting their growing security needs. Two years later, with the assistance of municipal and Federal government funds, the city joined forces with Pronasci (the National Public Security and Citizenship Program) to mediate the best solution for their complex problem. The first, and most successful, component of the plan was to facilitate the use of 40 Axis Network Cameras, including 30 AXIS Q6032-E Pan/Tilt/Zoom Dome Network Cameras that would be placed strategically in urban streets, and an additional 10 AXIS M1054 High Definition Network Cameras to be used to monitor all access and Data Center locations.

Upon completion of the project, City Hall Secretary of Civil Defence, Joel Lyrio Junior stated, “We have achieved significant reductions I the levels of violent crime in monitored areas, border on 80% in comparison to previous years.” He went on to add that, “We (the city of Serra) have increased the quantity of cameras and changed technology, opting for a more advanced solution with better resolution quality.”
