Fusus unveils smart city video platform

Fusus has launched a unified video solution for smart cities which it says combines private and public video sources into a single platform called FususOne. Fusus detects, analyses and connects to every camera on a building’s network and sends a unified video feed to a single web interface, the company adds.

Fusus CEO Chris Lindenau says it pulls in “video from multiple sources into a single platform to speed emergency response and provide situational awareness”.

According to Fusus, police, fire and emergency medical services personnel can access a mobile version of the system via an iOS or 1812 Android mobile app to stream video from incident sites to transmit their location and communicate with their command centre.

• Separately, a book has been published to serve as a roadmap to developing connectivity in urban areas. The authors of Smart Cities: Introducing Digital Innovations to Cities explore how the concept could solve issues such as mobility, pollution and inclusion.
