Virtual Remote Monitoring in Singapore.pdf

Virtual guard tours are revolutionizing the security landscape in Singapore by moving away from traditional physical patrols to a more technologically advanced, remote monitoring system. This innovative approach leverages a network of existing CCTV cameras, sensors, and powerful AI video analytics to "patrol" a property from a centralized command center. This solution is a perfect fit for Singapore's Smart Nation initiative, which aims to use technology to enhance urban living and security while addressing the significant challenge of a labor shortage in the security industry. It allows security providers to offer a high level of continuous surveillance and addresses the rising costs of manpower.
