Six steps to successful city and nationwide video surveillance systems

Having built a professional career in video surveillance for almost twenty years, I have had the privilege to work in the design of city and nationwide video management systems (VMS) with several public security authorities. The largest systems consist of tens of thousands of cameras, hundreds or even thousands of operating stations, multiple subsystems, segments, and numerous users. Each of these systems is a complicated structure, targeted to fit to the needs and requirements of each customer and their operational environment.
