Monitoring Solutions for the Public Sector

Pressures on resources throughout the public sector have increased in line with the drive for improved efficiency while maintaining levels of public safety. This has led to those within the sector exploring better ways of creating a safer environment and improving the protection of public workers and assets. At the same time, the changing nature of crime and the way it is managed has seen the development of partnerships to provide a more effective response.

Security monitoring and automation systems, with designed in intelligence and advanced technological capability are at the heart of this partnership. The ability to provide a swift and proportionate response to real time alarm events, schedule remote site management and automated CCTV surveillance, together with interactive online maps and asset monitoring is essential. Bold has used this integrated thinking, together with some of the leading monitoring organisations in the public sector, to develop a powerful response - Gemini Central Station Software
