How to Implement Wowza Streaming Engine for Public Sector Monitoring, Surveillance, & Security
The future of public sector surveillance is about building systems that see, decide, and act for you. Learn how a state DOT cut camera management time by 99% without replacing hardware.
Public sector teams are expected to implement cutting-edge capabilities. This includes real-time AI analytics, congestion monitoring, and absolute security. But often, these teams have to do this using legacy cameras and aging networks. The result is usually a control room full of screens that humans have to manually monitor. This leads to fatigue and potentially missed critical events.
We’ve put together a solution brief that details exactly how government agencies are transforming passive video feeds into proactive, intelligent systems.
Modern Surveillance & Monitoring Doesn’t Require A Costly Rebuild
Whether it’s a Department of Transportation (DOT) managing traffic flow or a law enforcement agency handling bodycam footage, the sheer volume of video data is overwhelming. It’s easy to think legacy systems require rip-and-replace hardware upgrades to add new features. However, this is often expensive and disruptive. Also, it’s unnecessary.
Agencies are finding success by moving intelligence to the software layer. Bridge the gap between old hardware and modern demands using a flexible video streaming platform. In this technical deep dive, system architects and strategic leaders will find out:
- How to Modernize Legacy Infrastructure
Learn to ingest streams from disparate sources (RTSP, RTMP, SRT) and deliver low-latency video to modern dashboards and AI systems without vendor lock-in. - Four Proven Use Cases
Explore applications for reliable, low-latency streaming across Traffic Monitoring, Bodycams, Election Monitoring, and Drones. - Security & Compliance Benefits
How to deploy in highly regulated environments while meeting strict security protocols. - AI Integration Possibilities
Strategies for deploying “Bring Your Own Model” (BYOM) AI at the edge to detect objects, anomalies, and threats in real-time.
How Mississippi DOT Built An Intelligent Traffic Monitoring System
One of the standout examples in our guide is the Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT). Facing a staffing shortage and a massive network of over 1,500 traffic cameras, they needed a way to ensure reliability without manually checking every feed. By implementing Wowza Streaming Engine as their central media backbone, they achieved incredible results:
- 99% Efficiency Improvements
Reduced time spent on camera management from 50% of the team’s time to less than 1% - Proactive Monitoring
Automatically tested camera health every two hours, allowing for instant troubleshooting via API - Cost Savings
Optimized traffic flow helps avoid the need to build additional road lanes
