Case Study: Dacorum Borough Council improves borough security with Genetec Security Center

District in the United Kingdom Invests in Major Surveillance Upgrade

Dacorum Borough Council, a local government authority in the United Kingdom, faced the challenge of managing its borough security with aging, disconnected analog systems. Seeking a modern, integrated solution to improve incident response and better serve its community, the council partnered with Genetec. They implemented Genetec's Security Center platform to unify its operations.

The solution from Genetec integrated IP video surveillance, access control, and automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) into a single, centralized system. This enabled the council to efficiently monitor over 170 cameras borough-wide and collaborate more effectively with local police, resulting in a 40% increase in requests for video evidence. Genetec's technology provided the council with a scalable, flexible platform that significantly improved security services for residents and businesses.
