Building a city of the future

Discover why the City of Kelowna is now better positioned to provide a safer environment for its people and help secure the critical infrastructure that protects the community.

Challenge: Protect people and sites

Kelowna is prone to flooding and understands the importance of flood prevention structures. However, when these infrastructures are the target of vandalism, the safety of thousands can be at risk.

With any growing city, displaced populations are a factor. Kelowna has a shelter that accommodates residents affected by incidents involving fire and vehicular accidents, resulting in physical injuries and damage.

The City of Kelowna needed to take proactive measures to help address both challenges.

Solution: Comprehensive video security

The City of Kelowna used the Avigilon Unity system to help protect its displaced population and flood-prevention infrastructure.

  • Enhanced situational awareness

    The City of Kelowna uses its Avigilon cameras for comprehensive shelter coverage and to help prevent intruders from accessing its flood prevention site.

  • Faster responses

    When an intruder is detected near its infrastructure or a threat is identified at the shelter, Avigilon Unity Video alerts the team for faster responses.

  • Improved investigations

    In the event of an incident, the City of Kelowna can quickly find and export evidentiary footage from Unity Video for investigations.

Result: A safer community

With enhanced situational awareness of its critical infrastructure and displaced population, the City of Kelowna team can better safeguard its people and property. 

Looking ahead, the City continues to seek new ways in which Motorola Solutions’ Avigilon can support its efforts to help build a city of the future. Whether improving security and protecting infrastructure or safeguarding its people, the City knows it has a reliable and trusted partner in Motorola Solutions.
