THE PUBLIC SAFETY CHALLENGE

More information does not always mean more visibility.

Keeping people safe across town centres, transport hubs, housing, shopping destinations and large venues means monitoring more spaces, systems and data than any one team can realistically watch continuously.

Many organisations already have CCTV, sensors and access systems in place. The challenge is bringing that information together quickly enough to spot what needs attention and give your operators the context to respond.

Digital Public Safety helps turn those existing data sources into something more useful, using AI-assisted analysis to surface activity that may need attention while keeping people responsible for the decisions that follow.

THREE OUTCOMES. ONE CONNECTED APPROACH.

Focus the technology around what you need to improve.

Digital Public Safety helps you turn camera, sensor and environmental data into clearer, more actionable information. By bringing those sources together, you can focus attention on the risks, behaviours and locations that matter most to your organisation.

That can help you improve safety, reduce anti-social behaviour and better protect the places and assets you are responsible for.

Improving public safety

Bring camera, sensor and environmental information together to help identify risks sooner and give operators clearer information to act on.

  • Connect existing and new camera systems

  • Integrate smart cameras and supported sensors

  • Bring additional data sources in through APIs

  • Use AI-assisted analysis to surface potential risks

Reducing anti-social behaviour

Combine video, noise and other sensor data to help identify patterns and potential incidents earlier.

  • Combine camera and noise-monitoring data

  • Analyse patterns across people, places and activity

  • Surface potential anti-social behaviour sooner

  • Support evidence gathering and follow-up

Protecting infrastructure and property

Monitor restricted areas, assets and access points to help identify activity that could put property or infrastructure at risk.

  • Analyse activity by time, zone and object

  • Identify potential theft, trespass and vandalism

  • Connect with sensors, door entry and access control

  • Create real-time alerts to support faster action

THE PLATFORM BEHIND THE INSIGHT

SiYtE helps your teams see what needs attention.

Purple Transform’s SiYtE platform can bring information from cameras, sensors and other supported systems into one operational view.

It uses AI and defined rule flows to identify activity that may need attention, then surfaces that information for human operators to review. That means your teams can spend less time watching every feed and more time focusing on the incidents, behaviours or conditions that may actually require action.

SiYtE can work with existing camera systems, integrate supported sensors and other data sources through APIs, and generate actionable alerts in real time.

AI helps surface what matters. Your people stay responsible for understanding the context and deciding what happens next.

FROM EXISTING DATA TO BETTER-INFORMED ACTION

Start with the issue you actually need to solve.

SiYtE can be configured around the specific risks, locations and behaviours you want greater visibility of, rather than treating every camera, sensor or site in the same way.

That means the platform can focus on the events that matter most to your teams, from trespass or anti-social behaviour to crowding, access issues or other operational concerns.

Once those priorities are defined, the process is about connecting the right data, analysing it against agreed rules and surfacing relevant information for human operators to review and act on.

01

Connect

Bring cameras, sensors, access systems and supported data sources together.

02

Define

Set the zones, behaviours, objects or conditions your teams need greater visibility of.

03

Analyse

Use AI and rule-based workflows to identify activity that may need attention.

04

Alert

Surface relevant information for human operators to review and respond to.

05

Refine

Refine the setup, rules and add use cases as priorities and patterns change.

BUILT AROUND THE ENVIRONMENT

The same platform can support very different priorities.

What you need to see depends on the place you are responsible for.

For a council, that may be repeated anti-social behaviour in a town centre. A transport operator may be focused on theft or trespass. A stadium may need better visibility of queues, restricted areas and crowding, while a shopping destination may want to combine safety monitoring with people flow and visitor experience.

The problem
Reading Train Station was experiencing persistent bicycle theft and anti-social behaviour, creating an ongoing safety and security challenge.

‍The solution
dbfb and Purple Transform connected AI-powered monitoring to the station’s existing camera estate, helping operators identify relevant activity sooner without replacing the wider CCTV infrastructure.

‍The result
Over a four-month project, the supplied case study reports a 72% reduction in bicycle theft and 13 convictions.

WHY DBFB

Bring more of the safety environment together.

Digital Public Safety depends on more than the analytics platform. Cameras need connectivity, sensors need a reliable route back to the service and new use cases may introduce additional networking, IoT or infrastructure requirements.

Working with dbfb and Purple Transform gives you one route from defining and piloting the use case through to installation, connectivity, support and future expansion. The supplied proposal places dbfb around installation, maintenance and network configuration alongside Purple Transform’s platform services.

01

Use more of what you already have

Connect existing cameras and supported systems where practical before replacing infrastructure unnecessarily.

02

Bring CCTV and IoT together

Combine video with environmental, noise, access and other connected sensor information.

03

Build on reliable connectivity

Support cameras, sensors and cloud services with the network infrastructure they need.

04

Scale around proven outcomes

Add cameras, sensors, locations and new use cases once the value has been demonstrated.
