Security communication “made by Commend” is highly popular down under as well.
“The intercom and camera together are a very powerful device,” says Robert Doyle, Lord Mayor of the city of Melbourne, Australia. In a recent TV interview about inner city security he was full of praise for the camera-equipped Commend emergency call stations that have been installed at the busiest late-night taxi ranks throughout the city. A simple push of the emergency button puts the caller instantly through to the round-the-clock security room. “It’s even faster than dialling triple-0 on the phone,” says the news anchor in the TV report. “000” is the local telephone number of the emergency services.
In addition to the usual way of making an emergency call by phone, the video equipped call stations are meant to provide extra sense of security and protection. Voice-only calls are fine, said Doyle, but adding high-quality live CCTV video allows operators at the call centre to assess emergency situations much more quickly and report them to police as they happen.
At the same time, the sheer presence of video surveillance can help to keep street criminals at bay. If required, it also provides recordable evidence and helps to identify offenders, victims and witnesses.
Next time you take a taxi in Melbourne, Australia, remember that you can do so with extra peace of mind, thanks to security communication made in Salzburg, Austria.
