Chicago Police Use AirVisual Technology To Integrate Surveillance Systems

Dec 05, 2007

AirVisual Inc., a provider for the enterprise security and public-safety market, recently announced it has successfully deployed its IntelliViewer 2.0 software for use by first responders from the Chicago Police Department.

The system, purchased and integrated by RMS Technology Solutions, has been added to the existing camera network to give the Chicago PD the ability to deliver pre-recorded and live video and other critical information to computer terminals and mobile devices. The system also gives the CPD the ability to integrate disparate security surveillance systems onto a single emergency response platform, while delivering the information wirelessly to responders over any network and to virtually any mobile device.

“AirVisual is very excited to have the opportunity to partner with RMS and the Chicago Police Department for this deployment of our IntelliViewer System,” said Tom Hansen, AirVisual’s founder and CEO. “This is a great tool for the distribution and sharing of information amongst first responders and also private security elements to deal with the growing demand for city wide security and public safety. With the ability to share collected visual information on one, peer-to-peer real time platform, it will deliver results because it reduces the time to respond with fewer unknowns”.

The IntelliViewer 2.0 system is an open architecture, multi-vendor, IP-based content distribution platform created to deliver live camera and video images and text-based data to desktop and mobile subscribers from a wide-variety of content sources.

A8V MIND

Hexagon’s Geosystems presents a portable version of its Accur8vision detection system. A rugged all-in-one solution, the A8V MIND (Mobile Intrusion Detection) is designed to provide flexible protection of critical outdoor infrastructure and objects. Hexagon’s Accur8vision is a volumetric detection system that employs LiDAR technology to safeguard entire areas. Whenever it detects movement in a specified zone, it automatically differentiates a threat from a nonthreat, and immediately notifies security staff if necessary. Person detection is carried out within a radius of 80 meters from this device. Connected remotely via a portable computer device, it enables remote surveillance and does not depend on security staff patrolling the area.

Snap One has announced its popular Luma x20 family of surveillance products now offers even greater security and privacy for home and business owners across the globe by giving them full control over integrators’ system access to view live and recorded video.

This new feature is now available to all Luma x20 users globally. “The Luma x20 family of surveillance solutions provides excellent image and audio capture, and with the new customer handoff feature, it now offers absolute privacy for camera feeds and recordings,” Webb said. “With notifications and integrator access controlled through the powerful OvrC remote system management platform, it’s easy for integrators to give their clients full control of their footage and then to get temporary access from the client for any troubleshooting needs.”
