The Limitations of Traditional Camera Systems Did you know after 20 minutes of monitoring a video feed, humans lose 95% of their ability to detect critical events? In cities and towns worldwide, cameras are everywhere-mounted on buildings, inside businesses, and at traffic intersections. Yet, despite their presence, these cameras often act as silent witnesses, only consulted after an incident has occurred. What if they could do more? What if they could help actively assess a situation, reduce response times, and even save lives? That's the vision behind ROC Safe Communities-a multimodal public safety solution. It aims to revolutionize emergency response by upgrading existing camera infrastructure with advanced analytics to provide real-time, actionable intelligence-without compromising personal privacy or freedoms. The Evolution of Smart Public Safety Advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and data analytics have transformed many industries, and public safety is no exception. Traditional camera feeds require manual monitoring and after-the-fact review, leading to delays in crime prevention and emergency response. Now, AI-powered video analytics can detect anomalies, such as unattended bags in a crowded area or brandished firearms, and alert designated authorities instantly. This shift from reactive to proactive security is changing how communities handle emergencies.
