Case Study: Smithtown Department of Public Safety achieves 24/7 high-resolution remote surveillance and theft deterrence with Axis Communications

Smithtown Highway Department guards municipal gas pumps and road equipment with Axis network cameras

Smithtown Department of Public Safety needed to modernize surveillance of its large Highway Department yard to deter theft and negligence, obtain clear images for identifying vehicles and faces, and keep the system easy for non‑technical staff to use. The agency selected Axis Communications network cameras as the core technology to meet those requirements.

An Axis partner, A+ Technology Solutions, installed about a dozen Axis Communications network cameras (including AXIS 225FD and AXIS 214 PTZ models) linked wirelessly to the administrative building and sent over a VPN to the Communications Center, with IPVideo Corp.’s DynaView VMS for remote control and 30‑day archiving. The Axis Communications solution now provides around‑the‑clock monitoring, high‑resolution zoomable images that aid identification, and measurable behavioral improvements—truckers and yard personnel drive more slowly and approach pumps more carefully—while avoiding costly trenching.
