Public High School Works With InterAct to Improve Security With Digital Video Surveillance System
Winston-Salem, NC (ContentDesk) July 31, 2006 -- InterAct Public Safety Systems, a leading provider of public safety technology systems used by local, state, national and international government agencies, today announced that Hazard High School in Hazard, Kentucky is installing its TrueSentry solution encompassing a digital video surveillance system, security operations center management, threat response, and dispatch with funds received from a Rural Law Enforcement Technology Center project.
InterActs TrueSentry technology enables users to command and control disparate video systems, and quickly send alerts and video to a variety of devices. Since the City of Hazard already uses InterAct computer-aided dispatch (CAD) to dispatch law enforcement, the school can escalate incidences directly to the citys 9-1-1 center, delivering feeds from the school cameras to the dispatcher and first responders."InterAct understands our security concerns implicitly," said Donald Mobelini, principal of Hazard High School. "The TrueSentry system provides more video coverage, removing blind spots and problem areas not visible with our previous system. I also appreciate the fact that I can access the video surveillance system even when Im off campus."With TrueSentry, Hazard High School can better protect its more than 300 students. Previously, the school had eight camera feeds displaying black and white images into the principals office. The cameras recorded onto a VHS format, which meant incident retrieval was extremely time-consuming; it could take up to a whole day to locate a tape and scan it for details on a specific eventan unacceptable timeframe when faced with a security breach.InterAct enables the school to more readily detect threats and respond to them promptly. TrueSentrys built-in video analytics can recognize pre-defined patterns that can indicate a potential problem. Once an alarm is triggered, the system automatically uploads a digitally signed copy of video from the remote DVR or camera to a central incident video database, providing a redundant backup of any important video event. The system automatically alerts the principal and other key staff by phone, pager, SMS, or email.
Authorized personnel can then view the high-quality, live streaming video from all network cameras and access archived video footage of the incident remotely via any web browser."Our mission is to provide small, rural law enforcement teams with the information on off-the-shelf
technology they need to be more responsive to emergencies and security threats," said Rod Maggard, director of the Rural Law Enforcement Technology Center (RULETC). "InterActs products are a perfect fit for project recipients such as Hazard High School. They are now afforded the very best in security practices."The new system will be unveiled at a public event on August 7, 2006. The event will begin at 10:00 a.m. at 157 Bulldog Lane in Hazard, KY 41701.

Litigation Financing Companies
A person involved in litigation of any kind, say a malpractice or an accident, is rarely a lawyer. He or she does not have the least idea as to ?how to go about the situation and recover the losses'. To top it all, often, their savings will not suffice in any way to fight the case.
Hence, they seek the help of an expert attorney. The hired attorney is one who is an experienced expert in the kind of case the person is involved in.
For instance, if it is a case of dental malpractice,...
