Management of Video Surveillance for Smart Cities

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Handbook of Smart Cities

Abstract

Video surveillance system is a crucial component in the development of Smart City. Video data can be used for a myriad of applications, enabling many key services of Smart City such as smart traffic management and enhanced public security. This chapter provides an overview of video management system for Smart City and its challenges. A small-scale testbed with assorted video managing services is used to demonstrate and compare performance of on-premise and cloud-based infrastructures. In addition, we present several camera deployment scenarios to illustrate the connectivity and data volume that would emerge in a city-scale implementation.
