Towards smart, safe and secure video solutions in SURE project
Integration of relevant digital tools and services for event-related urban security, as well as concepts and tools for urban security management and training and for cross-sectoral cooperation between authorities are needs in modern event safety and security business. SURE creates a comprehensive and smart event-related urban security solution, complemented by the related investment on surveillance cameras and video analytics.
The overall urban challenge tackled by SURE is based on rapid growth, major urban changes and related urban security challenges and development needs in Tampere. There are various popular and busy event areas in the Tampere city center. The key challenge of SURE is how to efficiently manage large crowd concentration and event-related urban security in Tampere – especially in a complex and evolving urban environments? How to maintain the high level of urban security in Tampere in connection with the rapid urban change, and to prevent a severe security incident without over-securing security-sensitive urban areas which may cause the undermining of the citizens’ sense of security?
