What are the requirements for deploying wireless video surveillance and how do they impact project scope and technology choice?

This day-long professional-development seminar and training will explore the contemporary environment for digital video surveillance. Developed in cooperation with and facilitated by Ray Cooke, IBM’s Chief Video Surveillance Solutions Architect, the seminar is structured to provide participants with the practical tools they need to tackle their video surveillance projects with confidence and success, including:

• Set of environmental assessment and planning tools
• Detailed typology of video surveillance application scenarios
• Comprehensive solutions tutorial
• Review and analysis of landmark case studies
• Set of planning and implementation templates
• Scenario lab exercises and debriefing

Who Should Attend?

• State and local government CIOs, telecom managers, network managers, video surveillance project managers.
• State and local government emergency response, public safety and other agency CIOs, telecom managers, network managers, video surveillance project managers.
• Public venue security managers including, sports venues, malls and other large retail establishments.
• Public works executives responsible for safety monitoring and maintenance of public works infrastructure such as bridges, dams and highways.
• Large industrial facilities security managers such as, industrial parks, ports, airports, mines, and refineries.
• Broadband wireless and related applications systems integrators, consultants, service providers, infrastructure technology and application vendor business development and systems engineering managers

Background

Wireless-enabled video surveillance is emerging in communities as flexible tool for a variety of applications:

• Crime deterrence and detection
  
• Remote incident tracking
• Forensics
• Traffic management
• E-sentencing
• Infrastructure monitoring
  

The flexibility and performance of broadband wireless networks is fast being recognized as one of the preferred methods of cost-effective deployment of these systems.

When planning a video surveillance network, project managers are confronted to a broad range of policy choices that dictate which technology and which network configuration to implement.

Variables such as the requirements for overt or covert operations, the need to only monitor or to monitor and archive the video streams, and imagery resolution, are examples of the criteria that will have considerable impact on network design and infrastructure technology selection.

As the thought leadership and emerging good practice sharing forum in support of broadband wireless for better managed and safer cities, the Wireless Internet Institute (W2i) supports a leading online platform for the dissemination of solutions.
