The Gardone Val Trompia Police Department in Italy has chosen to install i-PRO multi-sensor security cameras with advanced artificial intelligence technology in order to protect a popular community park, the Mella Park in Gardone for city residents and visitors.
Mella Park, located in , North Italy, between Milan and Venice,is a green space located in Gardone, a city of 112,000 people, and is a popular meeting place for residents of Gardone and nearby communities. As with many public places around the city, Mella Park has also seen its fair share of minor criminal activity.
Gardone Police Chief Commissioner Patrizio Tosoni was seeking to improve the visibility of Gardone Police officers throughout the park, and to improve the response time to any incidents that might occur. However, the few surveillance cameras they had in place did not provide them with the data they needed to improve their business significantly.
“The presence of only four outdated and nearly unusable cameras in the park translated into longer investigations and a less timely response to reports for us,” Tosoni said.
Working with long-time integration partner Suardi Srl, Tosoni and his department undertook a security modernisation project.
Suardi President Claudio Sasso said, “The multi-sensor devices we needed had to be extremely easy to install on relatively tall poles, offer the best resolution available, be robust, and easily integrate with systems already present in other neighbouring municipalities also managed by Commander Tosoni. We also needed artificial intelligence (AI) to enable analysis of people and vehicles for fast and clear evidence gathering. Given these requirements, i-PRO cameras were our immediate recommendation. They’re a company with which we have been collaborating for years with a high degree of satisfaction.”
Suardi deployed several i-PRO multi-sensor cameras in Mella Park, including model WV-S8574L, with four 8MP (4K) lenses each, and model WV-S8573L, with three 8MP (4K) lenses each. The Gardone Val Trompia police can monitor and investigate with these advanced multi-sensor security cameras, which include deep learning intelligence.
Tosoni reported, “Things have significantly improved since updating the park’s video surveillance system in May. Today, just a few months after implementing the i-PRO camera system, we have seen an 80% reduction in crimes within Mella Park. We’re only getting started.”
As the i-PRO S-Series cameras integrate seamlessly into the Milestone XProtect Professional+ video management system interface, the Gardone Val Trompia Police Department is able to centrally manage, monitor, analyse, and record real-time video streams from the installed devices.The cameras also enable post-event searching within seconds.
