Town of Braselton Teams Up with Comcast Smart Solutions to Enhance Safety and Security in Parks and Recreational Areas

Advanced video camera technology will enhance visibility in playground areas, parking lots and community event spaces

Comcast Smart Solutions, a division of Comcast Corporation (NASDAQ: CMCSA) that specializes in smart technology solutions for businesses and communities, today announced that it will provide the Town of Braselton, Georgia, smart video camera technology with AI capabilities to improve public safety and emergency response.

The deployment of smart video camera technology at the Town Green and Braselton Park will provide the town with real-time visibility into its community spaces, insights into traffic patterns during events, and will increase peace of mind for residents.

“These advanced cameras will play a vital role in bolstering safety efforts within our town and surrounding municipalities,” said Jennifer Scott, Braselton Town Manager and Clerk. “With real-time monitoring and intelligent analytics, this technology presents an efficient and cost-effective approach to creating safer public spaces and fostering a stronger sense of security for our community members.”

The Town of Braselton has a history of embracing smart technology, evidenced by its support of a new technology nonprofit that provides startup incubator space in partnership with local community members and a technology-focused university. Given this background, the town saw it as a natural progression to continue upgrading the area with technology.

Now, at the Town Green, multiple smart video cameras will oversee the parking lot and areas behind the concession stands. Additionally, smart video cameras at Braselton Park will monitor the playground and parking lot near the park’s tennis courts. Equipped with multi-sensor and multi-directional capabilities and AI video analytics, these cameras are designed to minimize false alarms and provide quick and accurate forensic search. The video information captured, along with the AI video analytics solution will integrate seamlessly into a cloud-based application, providing the town with actionable data insights, including alerts for suspicious activity and recommendations based on traffic patterns.

In collaboration with Comcast Smart Solutions, Braselton will receive comprehensive project management and continuous support. This includes a dedicated Comcast Smart Solutions project manager overseeing installations, conducting analyses, providing product training, and maintaining an ongoing support team to assist Braselton.

“Delivering a seamless and reliable solution was essential to assist the Town of Braselton in enhancing safety and revitalizing communal areas,” said Mike McArdle, Regional Senior Vice President, Comcast. “We’re excited to not only provide a comprehensive smart video camera solution but also offer continuous support, ensuring that Braselton residents can enjoy their parks with confidence and peace of mind.”
