MOBILESIGHT CASE STUDIES
Transportation and Distribution
A large national distribution company with over 10,000 distributing operators and multiple distribution centers across the USA installed a MobileSight IP Video System. According to the Manager of Information Systems, “The MobileSight system pays for itself in a number of ways.” “Many times, MobileSight’s remote installation and control capabilities have saved us time and travel expenses.” According to the Information Systems Director, “This system was the most cost effective and flexible solution out there – it saved us $130,000 in the first quarter and $2,000,000 to date in inside claims alone.” “It allows us to use a variety of cameras, better secure our centers at multiple locations across the USA from virtually anywhere”. The MobileSight system even provided secure evidence for insurance claims between the owner operators and our distribution company saving significant time and paperwork. The ultimate result is a more efficient operation and greater customer satisfaction.
University
A large State University has installed MobileSight in one of their city campuses. The system is used for campus security, student dorms security, museum security and classroom security. According to the Campus Director of Security, “The MobileSight System enabled us to implement new technology cameras as well as continue to utilize our existing camera network.” “The MobileSight system uses Common-off-the-Shelf products (such as Dell PCs and Hard Drive Storage Units) so we were able to install the system in our existing datacenter.” “For our IT people, it is just another application.” We have even used the MobileSight System to record individuals held by our security personnel for wrongdoing like a campus party. When the parents of a detainee saw the video of their son, a student, in our custody they realized that he was not being truthful about his condition (drunk) or our proper treatment of him.”
City Police Department
A large city police department has installed MobileSight to maintain the database of all their video used as evidence. MobileSight has implemented features to make the video easy to store. In addition, MobileSight security features make the video secure for storage as well as secure for transporting it to be used as evidence. This includes the video from the police cruisers as well as archived video from specific camera locations around the city. Another large city Police Department installed “mobile” MobileSight Systems which are able to archive live video and simultaneously send the live video to HQ for viewing and further distribution. In addition, they are able to use the MobileSight Pocket PC Phone to display the live video to officers in the field. These systems are portable and can be moved to locations of interest as well as send the secure live video over all common networks including Cable, Copper, WiFi and Cell Phone.
Medical Facility
MobileSight is installed in a large medical facility to include Doctor’s offices as well as pharmacy operations. The MobileSight System is able to provide archived video as well as live view to all authorized users. The doctors are able to monitor almost all activities when they are off site by using MobileSight on their phones. According to a physician, “It is important to have the MobileSight cameras recording in the public areas of the doctor’s offices and almost all areas of the pharmacy.” “Drugs are a significant problem in society and we need to take all precautions to safeguard these medications.”
Department of Corrections
MobileSight is installed in a large prison facility. The prison was able to utilize most of their existing cameras since the MobileSight Team wrote “drivers” for these existing cameras. This amounted to considerable savings for this large project. The video at the prison can be archived for long periods of time limited only by the number of and size of the “common-off-the-shelf” hard drives installed. This prison is a high secure facility and requires the highest levels of security. The MobileSight display clients provide the necessary level of security since they do not use “browsers” which have known security exposures. The MobileSight team has been able to implement additional features to the system which are of considerable value to the Department of Corrections community. The use of the MobileSight live video on the phones has enabled senior members of the prison staff to have immediate access to any situation at the facility 24/7. And, the video on the phones can be enabled with the highest level of security up to and including the Secret Service and DOD requirements for FIPS 140-2.
