      Ground-Breaking Analytics Software Enhances CCTV Value

      WATMOS Community Homes needed a more efficient and cost-effective way to monitor 140 CCTV cameras on their Ethelred Estate in London. Their previous solution relied on manual 24/7 monitoring by staff based on-site, which was both time-consuming and expensive. They turned to Securitas for a smarter, scalable solution.
