Reality Mobile's RealityVision software instantly broadcasts video and/or images from officers to decisionmakers at headquarters and to law enforcement team members from any location upon request.
Abstract
With a single installation of the RealityVision enterprise edition, video and images can be transmitted to up to 100 users, who can in turn transmit live video and other data simultaneously. The system provides live video streaming, video sharing, video control, data delivery, tracking, personal alarm, command and control, and rapid deployment. The mobile device software can be downloaded to any commercial-off-the-shelf-supported device. The software currently runs on the Palm Operating System, Palm Treo line of smart phones, and Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 and Mobile 6.0. A desktop version is available for laptops and other hardware. Installed software couples the agency's server to a cellular phone or computer. Video from the phone or computer device, such as a USB Web cam, is transmitted back to the server, enabling the live feed. In order to manage the flow of information from the field, the Management Console provides agencies control over the incoming data apart from viewing video. The console application can create groups to share video or image feeds, as well as to collect various types of data. RealityVision is a proven means of communicating voice, imagery, and local data from the field to a central operations center or between field elements.
