Video Observation & Recording System for Crisis Centers

Video Recording Solutions for Crisis Centers

Crisis centers are facilities that assist individuals who are undergoing a physical, behavioral, emotional, or psychiatric crisis. Some crisis centers focus on providing a refuge and care for people suffering from domestic violence, and other centers concentrate on individuals who are struggling with emotional or behavioral problems and often provide clinicians who determine if in-depth care is necessary and what level of care is appropriate.

Digital video is increasingly used to record crisis center patient evaluations. Making recordings of crisis center interviews and evaluations allows care providers to more accurately assess the needs of each person, as well as assist care providers in making accurate needs assessments. 

VALT video from IVS is a user-friendly video system for crisis centers to use in the interview and evaluation process. VALT video is easy to set up and maintain and requires no special technical skills to operate. Recorded crisis center evaluations can be viewed with a simple internet browser, for example.

VALT Video Equipment for Emergency Crisis Services

VALT video for crisis center recordings is piped to a central server, so you do not need to set up bulky video equipment in your interview room. You simply place HD IP cameras (paired with microphones) in the room and you are ready to record. Up to four cameras can be placed in the same room, enabling you to capture crisis center evaluations from multiple angles.

If your facility has multiple interview rooms, VALT can handle dozens of rooms simultaneously, with all recorded video sent to the central server. Accumulated video can be used to make a digital video library of crisis center evaluations — extremely useful for training mentors and care providers.
