Joint Emergency Services Operational Video Solutions

Changing Environment

Diminishing resources

Do more with same or less

Political will

Heightened threat

Technologically possible

Integration between Emergency Services improves response

Interoperability is essential

Military experience of Combined Services Operations

Potential Obstacles to Change

Impact on extant budgets

Entrenched single service views (protectionism)

Separate legacy systems

Proprietary (closed) software systems

Investment required for transition to Joint facilities

Lack of Joint doctrine and training

Combined Services Operations (1)

5 Principles for Joint Working Co-location

Single, safe, easily identified, near to scene

Communication Co-ordination

Identify lead service; identify priorities, resources and capabilities for an effective response

Joint understanding of the Risk Share information about the likelihood and potential impact

of threats and hazards Agree potential control measures

Shared situational awareness

Joint Decision Model

Common Operational Picture (COP)

A common operational picture (COP) is a single identical display of relevant (operational) information with feeds for: Position and status of available emergency service resources Geographical information (Mapping) Support Infrastructure (hospitals, roads/rail/airhead, barracks, ) Meteorological information and forecasting (Met Office) Joint Communications Multi Agency Gold Incident Commander (MAGIC) Command

System Joint Video picture – access any camera

Seeing beats hearing and enables a faster response

HD video is not always necessary, or possible to acquire

Share many views with many viewers

Demand it or command it when you need it

Record it for evidence or analysis

Use existing platforms and communications media

Access ANY camera and see what I see, not what I’ve seen

Integrated Video Surveillance - underpinning ideas

From mobile devices back to fixed sites (and beyond)

Transmit live video to control rooms from remote assets:

• CCTV vans• Mobile & deployable CCTV cameras• Fixed CCTV cameras• Local CCTV hubs• Covert cameras• Blue Light, Fire appliances, Security Patrol vehicles• Maritime Patrol, Coastguard, Customs / Offshore• Helicopters, UAVs• Body worn cameras / remote operators

'Live' Video Streaming – from any Platform

Architecture

Any video source, any network, to anywhere…

Vemotion streaming can be integrated into control room applications, video walls, ANPR engines etc
