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.
