InterAct, MissionMode & TrueSentry - The Triple Threat of Public & Private Security

 

In a post 9-11 world, very little has dominated the national headlines more than protecting our borders, infrastructure and citizentry.  In order to do this effectively, we need best-of-breed intelligent video surveillance, notification systems and coordination.  There is one provider in the ever-changing and ever-consolidating public safety landscape that can provide all three: InterAct Public Safety Systems and its (in-house) partners, TrueSentry and MissionMode. 

This lens will provide additional information about this trio's capabilities and the challenges and available resources for homeland and industrial security.

Quick Facts About The Intelligent Video Surveillance (IVS) Market 

  • The federal government is implementing video surveillance to help combat everything from traffic offenses to terrorist activity to illegal immigration.
  • The U.S. Department of Homeland Security's FY06 budget earmarked $51.1 million for the America's Shield Initiative, which enhances electronic-surveillance capabilities along our borders; that's an increase of $19.8 million over FY05.
  • The worldwide Internet protocol surveillance market will grow to $6.48 billion in 2012 from last year's $435.8 million, according to a report by Frost and Sullivan.
