Smart City Surveillance Dashboard in Excel is a ready-to-use reporting template for surveillance operations, public safety monitoring, CCTV teams, security vendors, and smart city command centers.

This Excel dashboard gives you a structured way to review Total Alerts, Verified Alert Volume, Resolved Alert Volume, Total Operating Cost, Avg. Response Time, verification quality, resolution performance, and device health in one workbook. It is a one-time purchase, works in Microsoft Excel, and includes a clear data sheet so you can replace the sample data and refresh the dashboard.

What’s Inside the Smart City Surveillance Dashboard in Excel
Overview Page
The Overview page shows the main operational cards and high-level charts. Total Alerts by Month shows alert movement over time. Total Operating Cost by District compares district-level spending. Total Operating Cost by Priority shows where cost is concentrated by alert priority. Resolved Alert Volume by Month tracks how many alerts are closed across the year.
Incident Trends
This page includes Total Operating Cost by Zone, Total Operating Cost by Year, Total Alerts by Status, and Resolved Alert % by Incident Type. These visuals help teams review long-term cost trends, alert status distribution, and which incident types are being resolved more effectively.
Incident Trends
Zone Analysis
The Zone Analysis page compares Avg. Response Time by District, Total Alerts by Vendor, Total Operating Cost by Shift, and Total Operating Cost by Device Type. It is useful for identifying high-cost shifts, slow-response districts, vendor-related alert volume, and device groups that require more attention.
Zone Analysis
Device Health
The Device Health page includes Resolved Alert % by Vendor, Resolved Alert % by Priority, Verified Alert Volume by Status, and Total Alerts by Zone. It helps users evaluate whether surveillance infrastructure, vendor operations, and priority handling are performing as expected.
Device Health
Response Quality
The Response Quality page focuses on Verified Alert % by Incident Type, Avg. Operator Rating by Shift, and Verified Alert % by Month. It is useful for monitoring operator quality, false-alert patterns, verification consistency, and monthly process improvement.
