Nomad Media and Public Safety Video Management
TL;DR: Nomad Media is a cloud-based, end-to-end video management platform built on AWS for state and local public safety agencies. It gives first responders and command centers near-real-time video, GPS location data, and AI-powered search in one system, with predictable costs that fit within government budgets.
Balancing Budgets and Public Safety Needs
State and local government agencies must maintain the delicate balance between budget restrictions and the growing demands for video management platforms. As a result, emergency services personnel in the government sector are tasked with making difficult decisions to demonstrate fiscal responsibility with public tax dollars while delivering much-needed emergency services to support public safety.
Balancing the need for expanded and improved video management services with inevitable budget restrictions, Nomad Media can help local governments make difficult resourcing choices. Nomad Media provides predictable economics and scalability benefits to help government agencies deliver better services within their annual budget and current technology resources. Built on Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud architecture, Nomad Media has helped dozens of clients make the transition to an efficient and virtualized video management platform, enabling a simple and scalable path to cloud computing within budget constraints.
Real-Time Video for Situational Awareness
Mission-critical video coverage for situational awareness requires (near) real-time communication during emergency responses without an administrator needed to launch multiple applications. This is especially important in situations where emergency service team members are busy with critical tasks. Whether first responders are equipped with body cameras or flying a drone over a critical incident area, other emergency service personnel can assess the situation from remote or central command centers and provide information to first responders en route to the scene.
AI-Powered, End-to-End Video Management
Nomad Media is the ideal end-to-end, emergency services-grade video management solution for state and local municipalities, providing unprecedented simplicity to users on a highly secure cloud computing platform with the flexibility to scale their environment easily and effectively. Powered by advanced AI technology, Nomad Media uses an intelligent search engine to mine large volumes of media content to instantaneously discover video clips and audio files on demand. Providing mission-critical logistics support, such as easier aggregation of video content, near-real-time notifications, and precise GPS coordinates, Nomad Media is easily accessible, highly organized, and simple to use.
Nomad Media helps state and local governments accelerate video management with AI and advanced technologies. As the video management platform of choice built for the AWS cloud, Nomad Media delivers cost savings and predictable scalability for the most intensive workloads with a simple, scalable architecture. The advanced technologies of the Nomad Media platform provide unlimited availability across multiple jurisdictions to an unlimited number of simultaneous users.
Managing Growing Volumes of Video Content
Compiling massive video content created by security cameras, mobile phones, and drones can be time-consuming for first responders and law enforcement. Live video content can be critical when directing emergency personnel, tracking suspects in man-made disasters, and identifying hazardous substances.
Nomad Media is an out-of-the-box video platform designed to address all state and local government content management needs. An end-to-end video system, Nomad Media provides freedom from having to run multiple applications on multiple systems, which eliminates the need for expensive dedicated resources for every application.
Secure, Evidentiary-Grade Media
Whether state and local agencies capture images, video, or audio, the media must be evidentiary grade and able to be downloaded to a central and safe repository. The capture security and integrity of media evidence is vital for it to be admissible in court.
Real Operational Benefits for Public Safety Agencies
Public safety agencies and first responders want better operational results without needing to understand technological detail. They don't want to think about network applications while in the middle of an emergency or critical incident. State and local governments want video management systems that provide real operational benefits.
Nomad Media delivers a video management platform with real-time GPS location data for vehicles, drones, and personnel, which greatly increases situational awareness and decreases response times. Offering a range of new possibilities for understanding what is happening in the field, across multiple jurisdictions, Nomad Media provides much-needed agency interoperability with the security and cost-efficiency required by state and local governments. Whether witnessing a critical incident from the field, in a remote command center, or on a computer at a government office, Nomad Media gets the critical information into the hands of the people who need it, so their situational awareness is greatly improved.
