One of the many new features Adesta will have to enrich our capabilities as a result of the G4S alliance is the G4S Video Monitoring support and Data Center (VMSDC) located in Boston, MA.  The  Center (VMSDC) focuses on the more advanced and growing effectiveness of off-site video monitoring. In addition to traditional monitoring, the VMSD center can apply behavior recognition algorithms, detecting behaviors in live video streams that threaten safety, alerting staff for immediate response.

The Video Monitoring Support and Data Center’s (VMSDC) live video feed provides an extra set of eyes that is not subject to the effects of an alarm or event. Instead, operators are able to observe and report within the response guidelines which are predetermined and documented by clients (along with G4S management). Remote viewing of video is particularly valuable in after-hours situations as a means to assess an alarm prior to dispatching patrol services or contacting local authorities. In addition to monitoring live video feeds, the VMSD center provides monitoring for:

·         Advanced video analytic generated alarms and events

·         Scheduled and adhoc video guard tours

·         Video and audio chaperoning of employees

·         Lobby management

·         Intrusion

·         Remote monitoring and control of gates and doors

A complete audit trail of all VMSD center operator actions is available. In addition, a web portal is provided to allow clients and organizations to access reports and recorded video clips.
