Surveillance technology has changed a lot and has brought many new ways to keep public university areas safe.

First, we have smart cameras that use artificial intelligence. These cameras can look at data as it happens and spot suspicious behavior or strange movements. This helps security respond quickly to possible dangers, making the community safer.

Next, there are drones that can fly above campus. They give us a bird's-eye view of everything. Drones can cover big areas fast, and they are especially useful during large events. They help security keep an eye on things and act quickly if needed.

Also, there are mobile apps that let students easily report any safety worries to campus security. These apps allow students to share tips secretly, which encourages everyone to help out in keeping the campus safe.

Another important tool is facial recognition technology. This can be used at main entrances to identify people who shouldn’t be there. While some people are worried about privacy, if we have the right rules, we can use this technology in a fair way.

Finally, there are smart lighting systems that can change how bright it is based on how many people are around. This helps make dark areas safer and can prevent crime in spots where fewer people go.

In short, these new tools—smart cameras, drones, mobile apps, facial recognition, and smart lighting—are important for making public university spaces safe and inviting.
