Next-Gen Surveillance & Monitoring for Smarter Urban Living

Elevating public safety and urban management through scalable, intelligent city-wide surveillance solutions

Overview

City-wide surveillance and monitoring systems are transforming how urban areas ensure safety, manage resources, and streamline operations. These systems enable real-time oversight of public spaces, traffic, utilities, and environmental conditions using integrated technologies such as AI, IoT, and cloud infrastructure.

They provide critical data that city managers and first responders rely on for faster decision-making and proactive response. Designed for scalability and integration, these solutions are central to modern smart city strategies.

At ICity Tek, we build on these technologies to provide cities with cutting-edge, end-to-end surveillance systems that help them grow smarter, safer, and more efficient. Headquartered in Boston, MA–NH, we bring industry-leading innovation, technical expertise, and customer-first support to every deployment.
