The city of Alleroed, in a suburb north of Copenhagen in Denmark, aims to stop vandals and violent individuals before crime is committed. A key tool for the municipality is XProtect? IP video surveillance software from Milestone Systems. Mobile access means faster response and proactive intervention before situations can escalate.

The staff at a daycare center, located some distance away from inhabited areas, had complained that a young group was destroying things on the institution grounds after hours. The vandals had free rein for their misdeeds because no one was in the area after dark.

To solve the problem, Alleroed decided last year to install video surveillance in the institution in cooperation with Milestone certified partner Atea. In total, the municipality now has more than 100 cameras in seven locations – most of them Sony SNC network cameras, which are controlled with Milestone XProtect? Enterprise IP video management software (VMS) and accessed using the Milestone Mobile client.
