International. Genetec announced an update to its camera registration module for Genetec Clearance , a digital evidence management system that facilitates collaboration between public safety agencies, corporate security departments, businesses and individuals on how to improve public safety.
The camera logging module for Clearance offers a fully digital, automated experience to facilitate the process in video evidence and provides a new avenue for law enforcement to collaborate more closely with residents and businesses in their community.
"Genetec Clearance™ is now our primary case file with all the information contained therein, including all of our evidence and documentation related to the case," said Capt. Mike Bell, Commander of the Identification Division at the Galveston Sheriff's Office in Texas. "Where we used to keep paper records, we now store everything digitally in Clearance, including crime scene photographs, mobile phone patrol photos, interrogations, and all of our reports and records. And using Clearance means that, when we have to work with case files for any reason, all the data we need is at our fingertips."
The module allows cities and agencies to create a digital public safety program in which companies, public institutions and residents can sign up to collaborate on research. Once participants have registered their cameras, detectives can quickly locate cameras near investigations and request recordings to facilitate evidence collection.
Recordings are voluntarily provided by individuals and sent to authorities through a secure web portal. Video exports from any camera system can be shared, so business owners and residents can continue to use their current equipment without incurring any additional costs to participate in the program. Researchers can review and retain videos received from these requests directly from Clearance.
"Investigators are under great pressure to resolve cases. Our goal is to provide cities and public safety agencies, as well as the private sector, with technology to reduce time spent on mundane tasks and provide methods to collaborate more effectively with businesses and individuals. We are pleased to offer solutions like Genetec Clearance™ that can be used to create closer relationships within communities and better harness the full potential of available evidence to improve public safety," said Erick Ceresato, Senior Product Group Manager, Genetec, Inc.
