Abstract: Safety of people is one of the most important imposition of politicians and workers of public management. The meaning of protection of safety is still intensified by treat of international terrorism and frequently criminal attacks on private and social interests inclusive of extraordinary events which are prepared by nature. One way how to help to increase safety and order is integration of modern security technologies inclusive of camera systems.
Countries and their safety authority, towns and municipalities are very important
and active in this striving.
Keywords: safety, information system, efficiency |
