Scotland's capital city, Edinburgh, is to deploy a brand new intelligent surveillance system, initially designed to combat crime and improve traffic flow. The idea is that over time, it should help the city adapt its policies to the habits of residents, while also helping it improve its carbon footprint.

The city of Edinburgh is aiming to earn smart city status with its brand new city surveillance and traffic management centre. In partnership with network security specialist North, the city is inaugurating a brand new, connected monitoring centre capable of processing real-time video surveillance data 24 hours a day.
