Public Safety and Mesh-Enabled Video Surveillance

Webinar Archive: Volume 2, Number 1
Date: Wednesday, February 27, 2008

What are the requirements for mesh-enabled digital video surveillance and how do they impact project scope and technology choice? Co-hosted by W2i and sponsored by Firetide, this 60-minute Webinar will explore overt and covert surveillance projects in Phoenix (Police Department at Super Bowl XLII) and Dallas (Jubilee Park Foundation)

Join lead presenter Michael Dillon, Vice President, Business Development – Global Municipal and Public Safety Markets, Firetide, Inc., for a discussion on the role of wireless video surveillance in public safety.

  • What is the tradeoff between image quality and bandwidth requirements?
  • How do practitioners choose among the three categories of surveillance — overt, covert, and transactional?
  • Why do traffic and transportation applications pair well with surveillance applications?
  • How do we approach surveillance projects and "socialize" them among the range of stakeholders?
  • What are some contemporary policy needs and opportunities?
