Firetide Mesh Takes Bite Out of Crime in Dallas

Mar 16, 2009

The Dallas City Council and the local police department implemented a wireless video surveillance system consisting of 32 Firetide mesh nodes and 40 Sony cameras in the troubled Central Business District. The goal is to reduce crime while keeping citizens satisfied, so residents and visitors can feel safer. With 24/7 monitoring, the system provides a way to deter crime and improve the police department’s detection and investigation capabilities.
