Bosch GVS1000 long-range surveillance gives emergency personnel faster access to crucial information

Atizapan de Zaragoza is one of the 125 municipalities in central Mexico and is part of the Metropolitan Zone of Mexico City. It lies at an average altitude of 2400 metres and covers 94.83 square kilometres. Atizapan City Council faced a shortage of personnel for overseeing activities on major roadways, at intersections and in mall parking lots, as well as other areas. In addition, a percentage of the city’s 472,526 inhabitants live in the hills with limited roads where traffic jams are common. This environment complicates access for emergency personnel during security events.
