Video Surveillance

Cameras capture a lot, but in the moment they only help if someone is watching. Some video systems can notify a few people, but they can’t reach everyone who needs to know or tell them what to do. Much of the footage is reviewed after the fact. InformaCast from Singlewire Software helps your cameras make a difference while something is happening, not just record it.

Act on what cameras notice
Depending on your system, cameras can send what they notice to InformaCast, like motion after hours. With analytics, they can also recognize things like a weapon or a fall. InformaCast then alerts the right people right away on phones, computers, overhead speakers, digital signs, strobes, and other devices.

On phones and computers, the alert can include a link to the camera feed for that area, so the people responding can watch as it unfolds.

Video when someone calls for help
Depending on your setup, when someone asks for help with a panic button or an InformaCast Wearable Alert Badge, the alert can include a link to a camera covering that area. Either way, the people responding can see what’s happening, decide how to respond, and send the right help.

Working together every day
Your video surveillance system and InformaCast work together on ordinary days, too. Some cameras can flag everyday issues, like a spill or someone loitering, and InformaCast alerts the team responsible. Because InformaCast handles these routine alerts, people know the system well long before an emergency.
