Today IP Video is commonplace, but a building’s video does not go to first responders, but rather to a monitoring center.
Commonly, the video is used after the incident and not during the incident. Today video is a forensic tool and not a tool used
to mitigate the emergency. Uniquely, NetTalon’s Virtual Command system gives first responders immediate access to IP video
for real-time intelligence gathering during response to the incident. Access to the video is available at fixed sites,
such as police and fire HQs and also on mobile data computers for en-route viewing, incident command on the scene and for building
entry teams.
Video is uniquely accessed through camera icons presented on a graphic display of the building floor plan that show the
camera’s physical location in relations to deployed detectors and sensors. The sensor/detector in alarm points the responders
to the appropriate camera to view the developing emergency. NetTalon’s mobile remote software can control video access to
specific commanders, building entry teams on a need to know basis.
NetTalon believes that cameras strategically and intelligently placed throughout the facility can be used to visually validate
any "event" in-progress. Our philosophy is to strategically place cameras at crossroads within the facility. In this way,
monitoring personnel can visually validate intruder access initially tracked using NetTalon's multi-state icon based
surveillance technology. This approach provides the visual validation required but minimizes information overload experienced
when monitoring personnel track intruders through the building using only video surveillance technologies.
NetTalon believes that the selective use of video surveillance technologies in conjunction with NetTalon's multi-state
icon surveillance technology promises to lower the cost of the overall installation since video surveillance technology
is selective and intelligently placed throughout the facility. Finally, NetTalon's ability to provide both "stop & go" and
"real-time" playback of all security/fire incidents using its monitoring software including integrated video clearly provides our
clients with a cost effective integrated monitoring solution.
NetTalon utilizes video technology from CBC (AMERICA) Corp.
a wholly owned subsidiary of the CBC Group and part of a global network of manufacturing, import, export, trading and
distribution companies with corporate headquarters in Tokyo and more than 20 sales offices and manufacturing facilities worldwide.
For over 30 years, CBC has been a leader in the manufacture of video surveillance components. Over 100,000 businesses and
institutions worldwide have chosen our Ganz® and Computar® brands for their critical security applications across many
industries and continue to rely on us for ultra-responsive, personalized service and support. Computar® lenses have long
been recognized as the leader in the surveillance industry; Ganz® brand has assumed a parallel position in the manufacture of
a comprehensive line of intelligent analog and IP video surveillance solutions including IP cameras, NVR servers, software,
DVRs and associated accessories.
CBC is dedicated to providing the highest quality CCTV products backed by a commitment to first-class customer service
and technical support. With USA sales and distribution locations in both New York and California, CBC is able to meet
the needs of the North, South, and Central American markets. Both locations have full technical support and repair
facilities, and regional sales staff covering all of North and South America.
Video Surveillance & Tracking
NetTalon views video as a major source of actionable intelligence. (1)The video component provides a subject description
of the perpetrator and a weapons description. (2) Motion detectors enable real-time tracking of the perpetrators. (3) The
video component confirms that the individual tripping the motion detectors is the perpetrator and (4) The robust video
system stores video data for important archiving on included servers.
There are two types of cameras being used for video surveillance. There is the standard dome type and a covert model,
where the camera is integrated with a motion detector. The covert camera assures a continuum of intelligence in the
event the shooter(s) disable the dome cameras. The dome type also serves as a decoy causing a shooter to believe that dome
cameras are the sole component of the video surveillance system. Both 360° ceiling mount and wall mounted motion detectors
are deployed in the hallways with the cameras.
For privacy considerations NetTalon’s software can hide camera icons during normal conditions and show them only when
the system goes into alarm by a press of the RFI handheld wireless transmitter. Camera selection is initially keyed
to the threat icon that is displayed and the nearest motion detector in alarm. Because alarm conditions are shown
within 1-3 seconds, and camera access is only a few seconds as well, the perpetrator is most likely still in the
camera’s view. Once acquiring the perpetrator, continuous tracking can be achieved by using the next alarming motion
detector as a cue to the perpetrator’s current position and then validating the cause of that alarm condition by
accessing the next camera covering that part of the hallway.
The video system is an integrated part of the security system with cameras strategically located throughout the building.
The video system utilizes commercial-grade equipment including day/night cameras and a robust video management system for
storage of video images, as well as for archival of critical incidents. Our design is based on the use of an open
architecture fully capable of future addition of video analytics for targeted security solutions. This system’s robustness
is shown by its unlimited camera count handling capability, as well as its ease of integration with other networked and
non-networked devices. Covert video cameras provide high resolution views of the safe-room occupants during an Active Shooter
emergency. Virtual Command integrated with IP video provides a complete security solution customized to meet the needs
of the end users.
