The Solar 2.0 by GaraGeeks column is equipped with a PTZ video surveillance camera (Pan–tilt–zoom camera) and an SOS call button connected to a VOIP telephone line, which can be activated in the event of an emergency to alert the rescue services: a valid deterrent for criminals.
Nowadays, video surveillance plays a crucial role in safeguarding security in public places, providing a deterrent against illicit behavior and significantly contributing to preventing vandalism and crimes. The presence of surveillance cameras, in fact, creates a more controlled environment and dissuades potential bad guys, promoting a sense of security among citizens.
Through the strategic use of video surveillance, the authorities can also constantly monitor public areas, intervening promptly in the event of an emergency or suspicious situation. This prompt intervention not only improves overall safety but also contributes to establishing a climate of responsibility and awareness among those who frequent public spaces.
A traditional municipal video surveillance system involves excavations, laying of corrugated cables, technical cabinets, laying of optical fiber and the activation of meters for electricity supply. This translates into long waiting times, greater bureaucracy and high costs: in the metric calculation, the expense for construction work on a video surveillance system reaches up to 70% of the total.
Multifunction monitoring and charging column
This technology, when integrated with other services, respecting privacy and ensuring regulatory compliance, is an essential resource for giving value to even peripheral city areas by redeveloping them. To do this, the installation of Solar 2.0 by GaraGeeks, the multifunctional electric bike charging station for the Smart City equipped with a video surveillance system, may be strategic.
The Solar 2.0 column has a PTZ surveillance camera (Pan–tilt–zoom camera) and an SOS call button connected to a VOIP telephone line that can be activated in case of emergency to alert the single emergency number NUE 112, the Local Police and other numbers to activate the emergency services. The VOIP line works thanks to the integrated 4G router, or via FWA connection, to also serve remote areas not covered by the cellular network.
SOLAR 2.0, in addition to being a column with video surveillance and emergency call, also allows charging for electric vehicles such as e-bikes, scooters, scooters for the elderly and wheelchairs for the disabled (which makes it ideal for placement near parks, slopes and cycle paths) as well as fast wireless charging of smartphones, tablets and portable devices: up to 30% in just 10 minutes thanks to USB ports and wireless charging points equipped with fast charging.
The SOLAR 2.0 charging station also integrates a 3.2-inch information display through which citizens can be informed of institutional communications from public or private bodies. The display shows the current time, the weather forecast for the area and information on air quality. SOLAR 2.0 does not require connections to the public electricity grid or fiber optics, and is also excellent sustainable urban furniture: it is made with durable materials such as stainless steel, birch wood and Corian, with a 100% Italian supply chain. SOLAR 2.0 is a project that is continuously improved through GaraGeeks’ field experience, with over 100 installations carried out.
With SOLAR 2.0 you can therefore have a video surveillance system without excavations and connections, completely wireless, active in a short time, and, at the same time, provide useful services to citizens. Classic municipal video surveillance systems, while on the one hand representing a precious resource for public safety, on the other are often subject to numerous critical issues, especially in urban contexts where construction and infrastructure works take place. Among the problematic aspects there are for example the laying of pipes and optical fiber which, in addition to modifications to existing systems, can cause inconvenience to roads and citizens.
Furthermore, the connection to electricity meters represents another possible critical issue, as it often involves the redistribution of electrical resources. These operations for the installation of a classic video surveillance system, therefore, can be configured as uncomfortable operations for those living in the area of the works, sometimes creating discontent. SOLAR 2.0 is therefore the ideal solution to guarantee safety and ease of installation.
