Comment on Bicycle Parking Guidance System in Utrechtparent

Comments

(I'm the CTO of LumiGuide who developed this system).

We're currently not using the system for video surveillance. Images from the cameras are only stored in memory for a short period of time while being processed by our CV algorithm.

However, since bicycle theft is a common theme in the Netherlands, there's strong interest from municipalities for using our system for video surveillance. So we're now researching how to extend our system for doing that.

All things considered, preventing theft via active physical structure, vs pursuing a thief AFTER the theft occurred seems to be preferable no?

Ask New Yorkers or Londoners how well video surveillance helps prevent or catch thieves..

Great! I hope you succeed.
