The Smart City of Tomorrow With Hypervision

We live in a world in which technology is constantly evolving, particularly in cities. Cities have a multitude of technologies at their disposal, including sensors, fire detectors and video surveillance cameras. These technologies are becoming increasingly sophisticated, particularly with the introduction of facial recognition, sound sensors and intelligent video surveillance.

If you want to have a centralised view of all safety, security, and building systems and you want to respond quickly and efficiently to incidents that may occur at any time of day, we have an effective solution for you.

What Is a Smart City? 

By definition, a smart city is an interconnected environment using different technologies and systems. The technologies and systems present in cities are interconnected and can generate unique data to improve the safety and well-being of the city's inhabitants.

What Types of Technologies and Systems are Interconnected? 

A number of technologies are present in smart cities and follow the trends in technological innovation. These include technologies to improve the safety and security of residents, such as intelligent sound sensors to detect unusual noises, cameras at traffic lights to detect offences or dangerous behaviour, video surveillance cameras with facial recognition to detect intruders, theft, or suspicious behaviour and so on.

In terms of comfort, there are also several technologies, such as CO2 sensors to improve air quality, recharging stations for electric vehicles, cameras to prioritise traffic lanes, and detectors to turn off streetlights after a certain time.

But that is not all! You can connect all these systems present in your city and integrate them into a central interface for an efficient management of these processes.

As for systems integration, it is safety, security and comfort systems that will be useful for your smart city:

• Access Control Systems to manage access to your facilities.
• Video Surveillance for any offences, theft, aggression, etc.
• Intrusion Detection for detection of trespassers.
• Intercom Systems and Public Address Systems to announce e.g., an evacuation.
• Automatic Barriers for entrances and exits.

But that is not all, there are also Fire Detection and Protection Systems for any fire-related incidents and a Perimeter Detection System.

As far as comfort is concerned, the systems present are Lighting or Smart Lighting Systems to manage the various lighting systems within the infrastructures and the city, the energy System to manage energy and water consumption and the HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) System to manage air conditioning and heating.

How Hypervision Can Help You Turn Your City Into a Smart City? 

The hypervisor will enable you to integrate all your security, safety, and comfort systems within a single platform. All the systems in your infrastructures, centres, etc. will be centralised within a single interface, and your control room operators will be able to manage all the systems in one easy-to-use interface.

The systems will be visible via icons, and you will no longer need to use several software applications to manage each system. This brings huge advantages, such as:

• Immediate situational awareness
• Quick and efficient response plans
• Automated and customised workflows
• Only one software training is needed, since only one software interface is to be handled
• Easy maintenance of all systems and detectors
• Reduce of personnel
• Reduce of costs

Once your systems have been integrated, you will be able to connect all the systems to our Sky-Walker open Integration Platform. From this point on, every incident, no matter of what sort, will be managed quickly and efficiently. Because all incidents will be handled by Sky-Walker, a complete overview is visible in our strong and intuitive interface. Complex structures become easy to manage through automated workflows and steps to follow. Your control room operators will be able to solve an incident and restore safety in no time.

Once your platform has been set up and installed, your operators will be able to monitor the overall security of your town, and in the event of an incident, use an innovative feature called the Incident Manager. This feature will enable you to create specific procedures for each type of incident and to call in emergency services, a team of security guards, the police, etc. to resolve the incident quickly.

All your incidents will be recorded, and you will be able to study the resolution process to subsequently improve the incident resolution time.

collect important data to improve the safety, security, and comfort of residents by using dashboards and statistics directly within the hypervisor.

Sky-Walker is a hypervisor capable of transforming your city into a truly connected environment. Customisable and intuitive, your operators will be able to use it at any time of the day.
