The VALT correctional facility video capture tool from IVS is a solution for jails and prisons looking to expand their use of digital video surveillance. The VALT software allows users to associate searchable data with each recording as well as embed markers within the videos.

HD Video & High Quality Aduio

Our software integrates with the latest IP camera technology. Observe in real-time or review recorded high definition video in 1080p resolution. Auto-gaining discrete microphones provide high-quality perfectly synchronized audio, great for picking up soft voices.

Scalabe

Support any number of cameras and microphones that feed their data to a central and secure server. Correctional facilities both large and small can employ VALT video to record a number of applications including arraignments, interviews and counseling/therapy sessions.

Accessible

VALT stores all video on a central server — eliminating the need for dedicated equipment scattered throughout the facility. A browser-based application so video can be easily accessed and annotated with notes and metadata, facilitating the future lookup of a specific recording.

Features of VALT for a Secure Video Library

VALT provides the neccessary features and tools for an organized and secure video library. All video content is fully encrypted and is rendered in standard MP4 formatting and uses h.264 compression. Prison administrators have full control over user rights management and user authentications, ensuring only allowed persons can access the video library.

Searchable Database

All of the videos are stored and managed by a built in searchable database. Tag videos with data like inmate name or case number for easy lookup and review.

Markers

Identify key moments in the video. Tag videos with person-specific data for easy lookup and review.

Access Control Integration

The VALT software can integrate with access ID cards for the start and stop of recording. This allows for rapid fire recording while still segmenting the video properly so only authorized users can see the proper videos.

Mobile Recording Solution for Jail Video Capture

VALT video can also be set up off-site, in case the correctional institution needs to provide temporary video surveillance outside of the grounds. The Beam mobile capture application turns any smartphone or tablet into a recording device. The operator simply sets up the IP camera and microphone pairings at the desired location. Video is automatically uploaded to the main server when the operator returns to the facility.

How can IVS audio/video recording technology enhance security and operations in correctional facilities?

Audio/video recording systems are crucial to maintain effective security and operations in jails and prisons. By upgrading to advanced digital video technology, such as the VALT system, correctional facilities can significantly improve safety for both staff and inmates. The VALT video recording capabilities can be used for various applications, including arraignments, interviews, counseling sessions, streamlining processes, and ensuring accurate documentation.

Is VALT a scalable solution for correctional facilities of different sizes?

VALT is not just scalable, it's designed to be highly adaptable to the unique needs of each correctional facility. It can support any number of cameras and microphones, feeding all video and audio data to a central, secure server. This eliminates the need for dedicated equipment in different areas of the facility and allows for easy expansion and customization. Whether you need to monitor a single building or an entire complex, VALT can adapt to your specific requirements.

What types of cameras and audio equipment does VALT support?

VALT integrates with state-of-the-art IP cameras and auto-gaining microphones to provide high-quality video and audio recording. The system’s cameras come in fixed and movable pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) configurations, allowing for flexible installation and comprehensive facility coverage. The PTZ cameras can be controlled remotely to focus on specific areas of interest, enhancing situational awareness. The auto-gaining microphones are designed to filter out background noise and hum, ensuring clear audio capture even in loud environments.

How does VALT facilitate the organization and retrieval of recorded video?

VALT's built-in searchable database is not just efficient, it's also user-friendly. It makes organizing and retrieving recorded video content a breeze. Each video segment can be tagged with metadata, such as inmate name or case number, enabling quick lookup and review. Users can also annotate videos with notes and embed markers at specific points, providing valuable context and making it simple to locate key moments within a recording. This efficient organization and search functionality saves time and effort when accessing critical video evidence or documentation.

VALT ensures only authorized personnel can view and manage relevant video content by tying recording access to individual credentials. Video access control enhances overall security and maintains the privacy and confidentiality of sensitive recordings, such as counseling sessions or legal proceedings.

Does VALT support off-site video recording?

VALT provides a mobile recording solution called BEAM, which enables off-site video recording when needed. The BEAM application turns any smartphone or tablet into a portable recording device, allowing correctional staff to quickly set up temporary monitoring in areas outside the main facility. Recorded video will automatically upload to the central server when the device returns to the facility. This feature offers flexibility and adaptability for situations requiring temporary recording.
