Digital Communities for Public Sector

Networked and sensor-enabled surveillance from IBM and Cisco runs on your IP network and can be integrated with other agencies. Various departments, such as police, fire or healthcare facilities can gain access, with password authentication, to collaborate and respond in the event of an emergency. Wireless broadband enables public safety officers in the field, such as boarder patrol or police officers, to access real-time video with remote devices or mobile video components.

IBM and Cisco offer a highly available and reliable network for video surveillance so you can provide authorized users with virtual real-time access to video capture while avoiding video degradation, manual filing systems or misplaced tapes. Our modular design enables legacy system integration and the use of advanced technology such as biometric identification, object tracking, event management, centralized command, and control and pattern recognition.

Applications of the Networked and Sensor-enabled Surveillance offering from Cisco and IBM include:

• Manage daily incidents, help secure planned events and handle unforeseen disasters.
• Increase safety by allowing decision makers to view live and archived video from virtually anywhere, anytime.
• Respond to incidents quickly with the support of multiple, simultaneous, dispersed high-quality videos.
• Coordinate response actions between multiple agencies with integrated systems that provide access to authorized users.
• Store video in local and remote, fail-safe storage systems for real-time access, as well as rapid and accurate search and retrieval of recorded video.
• Gain high-quality image capture for evidence in criminal suits.
• Provide security personnel with wireless and in-car video surveillance tools to help them monitor and respond faster.
