IoT smart city security solution uses video technology

The new solution comes from Sensity Systems Inc. (from Sunnyvale, California, U.S.). The technology company has partnered with Genetec Inc. (based in Montreal, Canada) to produce an advanced Internet of Things public safety and video security solution. The platform is integrated with light emitting diodes (LEDs).The technology will be tested out in Kansas City, Missouri, U.S., with the focus on monitoring the city's new streetcar line. The KC Streetcar covers downtown Kansas City, and extends some 2.2 miles. The system opened for service on May 6, 2016. The KC Streetcar is free to ride and has a daily number of commuters of 5,700. In keeping with technological innovation, the streetcar service has a text alert system to help notify passengers when there are major disruptions or changes to streetcar service.
