Exacq VMS integrates with cloud-based incident-reporting software Elerts

Exacq Technologies announces a new integration with Elerts, an in-the-cloud software solution used to instantly analyze incidents as they are sent from a smartphone app.

Elerts provides incident reporting software that integrates with an exacqVision system. This smartphone communication network allows users running an Elerts app to easily report safety concerns to their organization, police or security operations center as they are occurring.

When an incident is reported from the Elerts app, Elerts sends the smartphone GPS location to its cloud server to determine which surveillance video camera is closest to the incident, based on the location of the smartphone. The Elerts server sends an event message to the exacqVision server to focus attention on the nearest camera's field of view. When the Elerts integration is utilized, anyone who is connected to the exacqVision server via the exacqVision client software will immediately be switched to live video from the specified camera. This integration gives exacqVision users the capability to intercept and appropriately act upon suspicious activities as they are happening at their facilities.
