Making the Public Safe + Secure

Resolving a public safety crisis often depends on successful information sharing and coordination among multiple agencies. Using Vidsys, some of America’s largest communities are experiencing enhanced collaboration across multiple public safety and emergency response agencies. The result is faster incident resolution, enhanced situational awareness, and improved forensic capabilities. The scalability of Vidsys software enables rapidly expandable interoperability and collaboration in response to a crisis or in preparation for a major event. Real-time situation management enables real-time response.

vidsys in action

The Vidsys software platform has a rules engine and work flow tools that give end users the ability to pre-determine what data should be correlated and what should be filtered out. For example, from a video analytics alert, a command center operator can be instantaneously presented with the exact location of the potential crime and surrounding security assets on a map, along with step-by-step instructions for evaluation and resolution. This includes pushing crucial information, in this case, video camera views through the Vidsys mobile interface, to a responding officer. Once the situation is resolved and closed, a reporting feature is capable of generating detailed reports for after action analysis, or as part of a forensic record.

In another scenario, if a person with criminal intent is on the run, Vidsys software integrates all the relevant information including video assets and event management for security responders. Alarms are correlated while live and recorded video feeds from the cameras closest to the alarm are automatically displayed. Vidsys software is designed to assist responders in identifying and resolving the situation quickly and efficiently.
