Talkback

Instructors can talkback into any room to provide live feedback using our browser based software client. On the other end the clinician typically wear a small earpiece.

Security & Compliance

User-Friendly Recording Features

Recordings can be started via an Internet browser, a built-in scheduler, or a physical button in or outside the counseling room. Recorded in standard MP4 format using h.264 compression, session videos are easy to share and store, with minimal network traffic. 

Centralized Platform

Therapy clinics can utilize a single server resource to support all cameras. Less hardware, which lowers costs and simplifies overall management of the system. Recorded in standard MP4 format using h.264 compression, session videos are easy to share and store, with minimal network traffic.

What Other Therapy Clinics & Counseling Programs Say?

The VALT system is widely adopted across various therapy domains, including Marriage and Family Therapy, Mental Health, Addiction, Domestic Violence, Depression, Child Anxiety, and Child Abuse. Notable clients include Texas Woman’s University, University of Georgia, Temple University, Our Lady of The Lake University, and Mount Mercy University.

VALT provides both on-site and mobile solutions for the recording of clinical sessions. In cases where an off-site application is required, such as for recording at a remote counseling clinic, our new IVS Beam application allows users to capture sessions using an iPad. Beam enables users to record counseling and therapy sessions remotely and automatically syncs the video with the VALT server when the user returns.

"If they want to learn to clip and things like that, which is also quite easy, they can, but we really needed a system that would work for their people at all technological levels and this, this does that"
