Description

Avigilon is deployed in Mount Vernon. While it is not specified whether facial recognition is in use, the cameras have these capabilities.

Throughout 2019, the MVPD conducted a thorough exploration of video security vendors and offerings. In October 2019, the department chose to partner with Motorola Solutions and its partner PASS Security, implementing a suite of Avigilon cameras and video analytics software to enhance the safety and security of citizens and officers alike 1

The MVPD now employs 73 cameras dispersed throughout the city, with a concentration in locations deemed most in need of video surveillance based on police-response call volume. Connected to one another and to a dedicated Avigilon server via a point-to-point wireless network, the suite includes:

Avigilon H5A Cameras, with embedded License Plate Recognition (LPR), advanced object detection of up to 50 objects, and next generation video analytics. Avigilon H4A Bullet Cameras, for 24/7 coverage with built-in infrared illumination and self-learning video analytics technology.

Avigilon H4 Pan-Tilt-Zoom Cameras, with 360-degree rotation, self- learning video analytics, and self-learning intelligence that alerts officers when unusual activity or important events occur. Avigilon H4 Fisheye Cameras, providing 360 panoramic views with no blind spots in 6 and 12 MP resolutions. Avigilon Control CenterTM Software, which allows for quick and easy review of live or recorded video with a simplified screen layout, intuitive controls, AI, and self-learning video analytics 1

Access to real-time video footage addresses another of the MVPD’s key concerns: ensuring that first responders know as much about a potentially dangerous situation as possible before engaging. “Real time information is very important to officer safety,” stated Chief Page. Video footage also produces clearer, more reliable evidence, and delivers a more holistic and detailed picture for detectives and prosecutors. “We’ve seen several cases already where the cameras have assisted prosecution,” said Chief Page 1
