The state of Ohio is taking surveillance to the next level by purchasing two portable, video surveillance towers. According to The Columbus Dispatch, the Ohio Department of Public Safety will be using the towers, made by Flir Systems Inc., at large events that bring in big crowds, such as the Ohio State Fair and concerts. The towers are fully equipped with surveillance cameras, loudspeakers, spotlights, and a sophisticated radar system. Flir’s website says the towers offer a “completely customized surveillance platform suitable for high-level, temporary security ventures, providing a bird’s-eye view of the surrounding area.”
