Advanced
Video
Solutions
for
Military
and
Security
Applications
Carrier
grade,
24X7,
multi
format
streaming
and
logging
platforms
can
transform
the way
security
agencies
and
military
organizations
retrieve,
monitor
and
analyze
live
audio-visual
information.
Through
the use
of
advanced
video
compression
and
processing,
video
streaming
over IP
networks
and
sophisticated
analysis
and
retrieval
tools,
military
and
government
command
and
control
centers
can have
full
visibility
and
control
in
critical
missions
and life
threatening
situations
allowing
them to
make
real
time
decisions
and
respond
immediately.
A few
applications
where
mission
critical,
video
systems
play a
key
role:
Combat
Support
and
Emergency
Services
Military
and
intelligence
agencies
can:
-
Monitor
geographically
dispersed
points
of
conflict
and
target
areas
via
various
cameras
and
other
sensors
located
in
unmanned
aircrafts
or
in
remote
locations.
-
Create
a
live
two-way
video
dialog
between
combat
commanders,
fighter
pilots
and
central
command.
Using
these
two
advanced
technologies
central
command,
pilots
and
field
officers
can
share
live
video
displays,
identify
targets
and
make
mission
critical
decisions
in
real
time.
Live
Monitoring
and
Surveillance
Multiple
streams
of live
video
are
gathered
simultaneously
and
streamed
to a
central
command
post
where
advanced
analysis
tools
are used
to
identify
and tag
the
footage
according
to
pre-defined
criteria
such as
movement
patterns,
and
alert
personnel
about
suspicious
events.
Disaster
Recovery
Advanced
video
analysis
can save
lives in
mass
casualty
events
or when
disaster
strikes.
Broadcast
quality
video
streamed
in
real-time
with
minimum
delay
from a
disaster
or
emergency
scene to
a
control
center
gives
emergency
response
teams
the
ability
to
follow
events
closely
in
real-time
and
respond
accordingly.
Content
Management
The key
to a
time-critical
response
and
decision
making
is
speedy
and
accurate
access
to large
video
libraries.
With
Optibase's
carrier
grade,
24X7
platforms,
you can
index
vast
amounts
of live
and
pre-recorded
video
footage,
catalog
it and

on video
servers.
Video
footage
can be
retrieved
instantaneously
based on
simple
key-word
searches
and
transmitted
to
clients
over IP
networks.
