"We are absolutely ecstatic to be acknowledged by the industry in this way, and wish to thank ASIAL and the awards judging panel for their acceptance and assessment of our nomination,"said Jason Cherrington, Optic's Group CEO. "The #SmartDarwin CCTV project was an important project for us and for the City of Darwin." #SmartDarwin - Darwin's first Smart City Strategy - is aimed at driving prosperity supported by 21st century data-enabled technology, including a range of ‘smart’ technologies in the Darwin city centre utilising surveillance technologies to improve public safety and monitor pedestrian and traffic flows. As part of #SmartDarwin, the addition of a cohort of CCTV cameras in locations across the city was delivered by Optic Security Group’s Darwin-based subsidiary Security & Technology Services in order to facilitate the prevention and solving of crime. Optic Security Group was tasked with the design, supply, install, commission and maintenance of Darwin City Council’s (DCC) Smart City Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) System and Public Address (PA) assets in key areas of interest within Darwin City CBD. Assets included a range of CCTV cameras, Network Video Recorders (NVRs) and Video Management System (VMS), Analytics and CCTV supporting infrastructure, including the deployment of cameras and audio annunciator assets at locations agreed between NT Police Fire & Emergency Services (NTPFES) and Darwin City Council. The project was delivered and finalised on time and on budget, receiving extremely positive client reviews, and - importantly - has contributed to a smarter, safer and more secure City of Darwin. "Finding ‘converged security’ solutions to the unique challenges encountered in smart city initiatives is something that we relish, whether they relate to technical aspects of integration, cyber security of camera networks, or ensuring public expectations around surveillance and privacy are met," said Jason. "Having supported smart city projects across Australasia we are especially proud of what our Darwin team have achieved, and the professionalism and technical skill with which they went about achieving it." "We’d like to take this opportunity to congratulate all this year’s finalists and award winners for playing their part in raising the bar and giving all of us something to aspire to."

Security Advisory

 

Be vigilant. There has been an increase in reports of false billing scams. If you have received an email with an invoice purporting to be from us, call your Optic Security Group contact person to confirm if it is legitimate. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission’s National Anti-Scam Centre has reported a 25% increase in losses incurred by Australians from false billing scams in the July-September 2023 quarter compared to the same period last year. This is despite an overall 16% decrease in losses across scam categories.

 

Payment redirection scams are the most prevalent type of false billing scams. These involve scammers impersonating a business or its employees via email and requesting that money, which usually is owed to the legitimate business, is paid into a fraudulent account. For further information, visit the National Anti-Scam Centre website at https://www.scamwatch.gov.au/.   

 

Optic Security Group will never advise a change of bank details via email. If you have received an email with an invoice purporting to be from us, call your Optic Security Group contact to confirm if it is legitimate.
