Our comprehensive, best -in -class solution features the Panasonic Arbitrator 36 OOTm HD system complete with In -Car Video (ICV) and Body Worn Camera (BWC) equipment—aill fully compatible with Panasonic's SafeSerVTm Evidence Management Software currently in use by the South Bend Police Department (SBPD). Insight understands SBPD's current cache of 25 Arbitrator 3600 In -Car Video systems were procured and installed in December of 2016, with software installation and configuration also completed. As suich, Insight will only charge installation costs associated with SBPD's BWC equipment, and not your ICV equipment. Our solution for SBPD includes the new Arbitrator BWC with, enhanced Unified Evidence Management System (UEMS), designed to deliver significant functional advantages while reducing the City's long-term total cost of ownersh[p (TCO). When integrated with the Arbitrator 3600 HD ICV system, the new BWC solution will deliver the industry's most complete and cost-effective platform for mobile video evidence capture and management available in the marketplace. This fully integrated solution will securely manage and retrieve all digital video evidence from Arbitrator 3600 ICV systems, BWCs, fixed surveillance video, photos and other types of video evidence data through a single, easy -to -manage platform. Thie Arbitrator BWC can offloaid seamlessly via Wi-Fi and other methods to the UEMS, allowing officers to easily and securely manage all video evidence —regardless of its system point of origin. Significantly, Insight's solution offers full compatibility with SBPD's existing Arbitrator software applications, including full integration with SBPD's existing Arbitrator 3600 ICV systems (Mk3 models). Officers will also use the same Arbitrator client applications, to view video in the field prior to offload, using their existing Windows -based laptops/tablets, as well as smartphones. By leveraging the City's prior investment in the Arbitrator 3600 ICV solution, Insight believes the SafeServ/UEMS, integrated platform will provide significant cost savings for SBPD. In addition, the platform will increase officer safety by 1) linking automated triggering between vehicles and BWCs, 2) enabling hands -free wireless BWC recording/offloading, 3) allowing in -car BWC offloading to your existing ICV systems, and 4) linking metadata from ICV to BWC, delivering a comprehensive solution to meet SBPD's specific objectives.
