CSN1
Cameras in Jail
Middletown, Ohio -
A local police station has installed the latest technology in
CCTV security. The 16-camera system installed by
SurveilanceWeb.com is providing the police with a level
of security that can not be duplicated with a VHS system. This
police station is on the cutting edge of CCTV technology with
the installation of a CSN1 DVR Camera server. All recordings
are digital and kept on the computer's hard drive. Video
is available to all computers on the network. Video files can
be easily duplicated by anyone on the network. There even is a
CD-Rom device that can put evidence on a CD-Rom. The files can
be played back on any computer.
Escorting
Prisoners at the Station
Officers in the
front office can hear a faint siren sound when a prisoner is
escorted through the station. They know just by the sound,
that there is a
prisoner being
escorted to jail. The cameras are activated by movement. There
is a separate entrance that officers use to escort prisoners
to booking then on to the holding cell. Once movement is
detected in this area, the system begins
recording and
stamps the video file with the date and time.
Cameras in the Jail Cells
Once inside the
jail cell, the prisoner is monitored by a bullet proof, camera
that can not be gripped, moved or damaged. Color images are
recorded with any movement by the prisoner. Additionally, all
sounds are captured with the video. This evidence is
watermarked and easily played back by using Microsoft's Media
Player or Real Audio's Real Player.
Cameras in Interview Rooms
The interview
rooms have cover cameras that also record sound. Evidence and
confessions are more likely to be admissible in a court of law
due to the tamper-proof watermarking that the video displays.
Each frame is digitally watermarked with a location name, the
time (down to fractions of seconds) and the date.
Cameras at the
Dispatcher Window
When someone
appears at the dispatchers window, a unique sound alerts
everyone in the room that there is someone at the window.
Cameras Outside
the Police Station
Inferred and low lux cameras capture images with minimal light
(.05 lux). These cameras can almost see in total darkness. If
there is any
