PHILADELPHIA — Comcast Smart Solutions, a division of Comcast that specializes in smart technologies for businesses and communities, has announced that it will provide the Youth Crisis Center (YCC) with smart video camera technology with AI analytics capabilities to help strengthen safety protocols and provide monitoring across its facilities.
“We are honored to provide our smart camera and analytics solutions to the Youth Crisis Center. This organization has made an incredible impact on the Jacksonville community by supporting its residents when they need it the most,” said Jeff Buzzelli, Regional Senior Vice President of Comcast Florida. “Our team is committed to delivering impeccable service that helps YCC create a stable space for patients to heal and give employees peace of mind.”
Eighty-two smart video cameras from Eagle Eye Networks will be utilized to enhance security objectives across YCC’s five-building campus by delivering real-time alerts, AI-driven video analytics, entry and exit monitoring, and intuitive smart search for easier object detection. The system, powered by Comcast connectivity, includes a centralized Video Management System (VMS) with a remote dashboard and License Plate Recognition (LPR) technology. Additionally, staff can access up to 30 days of recorded footage for improved monitoring and response times.
Comcast stated that video information and real-time insights will help YCC better understand resident and employee patterns and strengthen security protocols. Using campus-wide self-monitoring and smart technology solutions, they note that YCC is better equipped to support staff and families while delivering high quality care.
“The safety and well-being of our families are our top priorities, as we are continually working towards providing a secure environment that supports recovery during their time here,” said Peter Hicks, Chief Development Office at the Youth Crisis Center. “Our facilities previously relied on an analog system, but with Comcast Smart Solutions, we have a reliable and advanced platform that allows us to more effectively monitor our campus and take a more comprehensive approach to enhancing security. This helps our staff focus on providing the best care possible to the youth and families we serve.”
