Challenge:
With continued emphasis on enhancing public safety capabilities including building exteriors, parking lots, and surrounding areas, California State University at Long Beach chose to implement a wireless video surveillance system, completed November 2008, to monitor day-to-day activities, special events, and increase their ability to respond immediately to developing situations.
Solution:
Local law enforcement agencies including the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department and the Santa Monica Police Department recommended Firetide's wireless network solution along with Bosch AutoDome cameras.
