 Nanjing City, the capital of East China's Jiangsu province with a population of around 8 million people, is considered as one of the most prominent cities in China. To safeguard its high-tech zone, it opted for an intelligent security network as part of its Safe City project. Its functionalities include environmental analysis and forecasting, biological security development and security software design.
China Security & Surveillance Technology, Inc. (NYSE:CSR), together with a local project contractor, will execute the project that will also include the installation of security cameras, biological detectors and related software that will all be integrated into one security platform.
Nanjing City is not the only city in China that embraces Safe City projects.
In March 2008, the city of Benxi in the Liaoning Province purchased an IP video surveillance solution based upon UTStarcom’s RollingStream IPTV technology. UTStarcom provides Internet Protocol-based end-to-end networking and telecommunications solutions. Its technology was selected by China Netcom to serve as the primary design and deployment platform for Benxi’s Safe-City video surveillance project. It was the first large-scale application of this kind of IP video surveillance solutions. It enables the Benxi Public Security Bureau to plan the deployment of police more scientifically through dynamic arrangement, comprehensive control, and precise strike capabilities. It will enable a more effective maintenance of law & order and stability throughout the city.
Last month, the government of Shouguang City located in Shandong Province with a population of approximately 1.1m people, signed a framework agreement valued at approximately $44m with China Security & Surveillance Technology (CSST), a provider of security solutions in China. This Safe City project consists of the installation of security cameras and related equipment for the public areas including street intersections and shopping malls, as well as a secure, city-wide traffic monitoring system for the local traffic police control center. More Safe City projects are expected throughout China, using IP video surveillance solutions and other security technologies. |
