RealView LLC, a Microsoft Partner providing mobile inspection and emergency pre-plan programs for fire departments, office buildings, hospitality, education and others, announced Honeywell-Metropolis has chosen its CommandScope Fire/Emergency Pre-plan Solution to outfit its new emergency response trailer. The advanced command center was designed to ensure emergency response teams are prepared to handle a variety of scenarios, and will depend on CommandScope for vital strategy and data.

Honeywell-Metropolis, located in southern Illinois, recently purchased the 36-foot trailer built specifically for the safety and security needs of their local works plant. The vehicle is equipped with a variety of advanced technology and design features, and will provide personnel everything they need to respond to scenarios including injury, confined space retrieval, search and rescue, and chemical spill and control mitigation.

The onboard command center will feature RealView’s CommandScope to provide vital, real-time intelligence during incident response. CommandScope is a pre-incident planning software that assures less property damage and saves lives in the event of an incident. Designed to combat these incidents with advance strategy and actionable information, the CommandScope Programs provide first responders with an electronic pre-plan vital for a more effective emergency response. Operating from an onboard computer, CommandScope will provide the incident commander and technical support personal with detailed floor plans, piping and equipment maps, hazardous materials locations, pre-fire plans and more to enable faster, more effective response in an emergency.

“Honeywell-Metropolis is a highly-progressive municipality that takes safety extremely seriously – and it’s demonstrating that with this command center purchase,” said Stephen Nardi, president of RealView. “First responders will have everything they need to effectively manage a variety of incidents and we’re proud CommandScope can provide the intelligence behind it all.”

  • From Surveillance to Intelligence

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
