Public Safety and Security

Modern urban environments include high-profile locations, public spaces and busy transport routes, requiring extensive surveillance coverage to ensure public safety and security - as well as underpin incident response. With the continuous growth and rapid evolution of cities, urban surveillance systems must be flexible enough to scale and support multi-agency command and control structures.

Digital Barriers has deployed video infrastructures into many prominent urban surveillance schemes around the world, as well as providing specialist surveillance and security for notable heritage sites and public spaces. We have extensive experience in designing the surveillance networks and video management systems for complex citywide surveillance schemes, using a range of technologies and infrastructure designs to provide fixed and rapidly deployable capabilities, as well as cost-effective management of the overall surveillance estate.

Citywide surveillance schemes

We provide comprehensive solutions and expert input for large-scale urban surveillance schemes, including hybrid analogue/IP transmission networks and control systems that can integrate and provide access to multiple cameras and other devices. Our installations have included sophisticated urban schemes (such as the mixed analogue and digital system for Strasbourg) that cover city centres, stadia, public access sites and multiple control centres.

Rapidly deployable incident response and preparedness

We offer robust real-time mobile surveillance solutions for tactical deployment in emergency situations – where an immediate ‘eyes on the ground’ presence is required – as well as for temporary use in areas or hotspots that are not covered by fixed surveillance. Our solution offers high-quality video and audio streaming, with low latency for effective control of PTZ sensors. It can also be deployed to ‘standby’ until circumstances require it brought online.

Surveillance for nationally significant sites

We provide discreet surveillance and security solutions for heritage sites, high-profile public spaces and other nationally significant locations. Our experience extends to a number of iconic sites around the world, including the British Museum and Tate Galleries in the UK, Parc des Princes Stadium in France, and the Great Hall of the People in China. Our technologies and installation services address the complexities in dealing with architecturally sensitive or unique sites, multiple stakeholders and minimising disruption to visitors and operations.
