UNIVERSITY PARK, Ill.,
Oct. 17, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Federal
Signal Corporation's Safety and Security Systems Group (SSG), a
world leader in public safety solutions, today announced its
strategic partnership with Edesix Ltd, a leading manufacturer of
body-worn camera systems. This partnership will offer
the jointly-developed IndiCueTM family of law
enforcement video offerings, a comprehensive suite of products that
provide law enforcement professionals the ability to collect,
distribute, and manage video evidence. With streamlined use and
predictable costs, IndiCueTM makes it easy for police
agencies to implement body-worn video programs without risking the
hidden fees and hardware management headaches that have plagued
body-worn video programs in the past. Federal Signal and
Edesix will debut IndiCueTM at Booth 4327 of the 2016
International Association of Chiefs of Police trade show in
San Diego, CA.
"Edesix designs and manufactures the highest-performance,
easiest-to-use body worn camera solutions on the market, and
Federal Signal has an extensive channel reach and deep expertise in
designing and integrating law enforcement equipment into vehicles.
The overlap between our companies' strengths could not be
better," said Richie McBride, CEO
of Edesix.
The CueCamTM is a rugged, wearable camera designed to
capture incidents from the officer's point of view. It comes
equipped with advanced features like standard or high-definition
resolution, built-in GPS for camera location tracking and video
geolocation, seamless RFID-based dynamic camera allocation,
on-camera encryption, built-in Wi-Fi, and an IP65 enclosure rating.
CueCamTM is available in models with 8 to 14 hours
continuous recording with configurable pre-record, and can
live-stream video and audio while simultaneously storing high
quality footage.
CueClassifyTM is the IndiCueTM family's
comprehensive back-office management software suite, able to import
and manage evidence collected by the CueCamTM,
CueCarTM, or 3rd party cameras. It delivers a
streamlined user interface for managing body worn cameras and
collected footage, and provides a suite of functions including
automatic footage download and simple, intuitive redaction.
CueClassifyTM is exceptionally scalable, allowing
customers to manage one camera or tens of thousands of cameras with
equal ease. Furthermore, CueClassifyTM can be deployed
in the cloud, on-premises, or a hybrid of the two, with
straightforward storage and equipment pricing regardless of
configuration.
Due for full rollout in early 2017, CueCarTM is an
in-car video solution based on the CueCamTM
architecture. Designed to capture multi-perspective footage from
any police vehicle, CueCarTM is equipped with the same
security and footage protection features as the
CueCamTM. The CueCarTM is robust, secure, and
capable of recording and streaming high quality video and audio for
evidential purposes. Unlike other in-car systems, the
CueCarTM is fully web-based and Wi-Fi enabled, allowing
footage and associated notes to be accessed, updated, and shared
from a tablet PC or an existing mobile data terminal via Federal
Signal's CueClassifyTM. The CueCarTM unique
system controller enables initiation of recording by external cues
and our multi-camera installation can provide dash, rear, and light
bar-mounted views.
"Body-worn video saves life, property, and speeds the resolution
of investigations, but traditionally has come with unpredictable
costs and difficulty managing evidence," said Matthew Brady, SVP of Federal Signal's SSG
group. "IndiCue solves those problems, making the benefits of
bodycams available to agencies and communities of all sizes."
The IndiCueTM system has been deployed with a law
enforcement agency in North
Carolina for several months, with strong praise for its
functionality and budget impact.
