Using PODSS system to reduce crime rates
Clearly, it is clear that crime rates are always increasing. This applies further large cities, where criminals can easily hide from law enforcement officials. Police officers must always have an eye open on this environment in order to stay ahead of criminals in the planning and response.
As an alternative to look at one, hidden technology usual police officers in the city were in search of a security system that every one in the neighborhood can see and know was working properly. Also with a little help from the Portable Digital Surveillance System manifestos or PODSS, Police officials are using technology to help deter the next group away evildoers. Utilities are PODSS supply portable systems flexibility for members of the police and neighborhood safety observers. The components can be relocated as needs change and can be sent quickly events such as a special one-day event.
According to the president of integrator of RMS Technology Solutions, which is the company that built the system of PODSS "provided a source of power that can go virtually anywhere they go."
Also different from video cameras conventional attempts to merge with the environment, PODSS utilities are designed to be visible in order to help alert potential evildoers are being observed and recorded. The device consists basically of a box 2 feet tall with a black border-white checkerboard that shows the logo of the department Police topped by a flashing blue light source.
The vice president of technology for the RMS also stated that police officers wanted the cameras to be clearly visible, so that there is absolutely no doubt that public space is being monitored. It is also proved highly successful approach to deter criminal behavior.
The simplicity of wireless systems
PODSS programmable system is being powered by a Pelco Spectra dome camera providing police officers with a view of 360 degrees around the vicinity of the camera security. In addition the system also has a built-in DVR unit that records at 30 fps for recording local data.
The president of RMS integrator noted that use the Spectra dome system due to image quality and consistency of the amazing security camera. These cameras were able to function properly even when the temperature is twenty degrees below temperatures and over a hundred degrees.
An additional feature is the system's unique wireless capabilities. The company RMS established, implemented and maintains a 200 square mile wireless network in the city to to help supplement PODSS Setup.
The president of the company stated that they were making the most of IP technology. until now, had no knowledge other city in the world with a wireless network of this magnitude.
Reticular network in the city obey the directives of the 802.11 standard, suitable for updates software and remote management of LAN-based video. In addition to the cameras can also be controlled remotely through a laptop or central department.
The president of RMS said the open architecture of the system benefits greatly from recent technological improvements in the security business.
He noted that despite the fact that most security systems installed this year are closed systems, which are seeing a movement in industry systems such as PODSS who take advantage of open systems operating style.
Moreover, the nature of IP technology also copious benefits for police and law enforcement in general. Wireless technology allows the cameras to be moved to virtually new location without any concerns about the available set up. Cables gap also makes the system less costly to maintain. In the real world deployment of utility, the police have the ability to control several PODSS from a single laptop, which allows agents to quickly assess a situation to judge the most appropriate reaction to a specific incident. In the circumstances of the environment and other landscape can be an obstacle for many service companies public safety. For example, in urban canyons with skyscrapers and miles of thick walls, keeping the wireless network operates is easier PODSS said than done.
According to a manufacturer's representative Pelco would be very easy for an outsider to take lightly the complexity of what RMS has launched. Especially with all the tall buildings and potential obstacles, it is easier said than done successfully to chart a course through a complex city with wireless network RMS met.
To date applications
The first systems were deployed PODSS about four years ago in the city. And in just seven Chicago police months witnessed exceptional performance. For example, in almost all places in the security utilities were set up calls to the police station dropped by more than seventy percent and serious crime fell by more than fifteen percent. And as expected, this summer, the city PODSS systems are in line another update procedure.
In addition, an experimental interface will be made public before giving PODSS detection applications firearms. As soon as a gunshot is detected and identified, the system immediately will direct the camera in the direction of the shot and send an alert command station or mobile guards. Thanks to these initial findings, and the great need for technology that more than half PODSS systems are surveying for activity criminal in the city at the end of the year alone. And the technology is also being used in Baltimore, Philadelphia and is expected to be deployed in several cities too.
In addition, the system is also being used in many other cities and towns to deal with the dilemma of graffiti on local skate parks and other sites.
The RMS vice president of technology said that, unfortunately, crime is a constantly moving and changing target, and were proud to have a product that is truly making an impact on public safety and doing an excellent job. You really can not put a price value of what these cameras conduct safety. It's really an awesome feeling you get when you are a part of saving more than a hundred lives on a consistent basis. It makes you proud of knowing that their children describe him as a hero to stop crimes and save the lives of others.
These innovative security technologies are just a sample of what the future holds with regard to the surveillance industry. Criminals and evil will find it increasingly difficult to deceive and outwit security technology and when, finally, find ways to do so, technology would have been changed to a more stronger design efficient. It is therefore very important for technology to keep moving foreword with updates, upgrades, new models and more sophisticated techniques in order to stay ahead of the schemes of evil.
