Security, Surveillance & Modern Terrorism – No room for ‘ifs and buts'

We live in a new age of potential public threats and violence, calling for a new age of proactive security and surveillance. Unfortunately, the realisation and consequent fear of terrorism is on the rise in Australia, with a recent ANU poll revealing that nearly half the population holds concerns around being directly affected by terrorist activity, and 56% thinking the government could be doing more to prevent such attacks.

Luckily, modern technology has reached a meeting point of high sophistication and accessibility. There is currently no better example of this than Intelligent Security Integration’s Rapid Scout Camera kits.
​
So, what sets the Rapid Scout® surveillance kits apart from permanently mounted surveillance fixtures already in place?

​Active, flexible, real-time mobile surveillance.
​
90% of video surveillance footage is used after an incident as a forensic tool. At this stage, the incident has likely escalated and dissolved, with little opportunity to take immediate action as events unfold. The Rapid Scout Camera kits give the user unparalleled access to live surveillance information, allowing for instant, decisive action to become available to diffuse a threatening situation.
Rapid Scout® Surveillance Kit features:
  • Deployed and operational in minutes – the simple setup procedure along with the lightweight design allows for ‘rapid’ deployment and instantaneous streaming availability.

  • Due to its agile design, there is no need to source/plug in to power mains. This heightened manoeuvrability of the cameras is essential in gathering live, high quality vision in places where it would be otherwise impossible.​
    ​
  • Unlimited cloud storage

  • Thermal. PTZ (pan, tilt zoom), Infra-red and 4K camera capabilities
  • Powered by a small battery box that can run the camera system up to 24 hours. Larger batteries allow for up to 2 weeks of surveillance. Solar Panel can be attached to kit for unlimited use.

  • Live streaming to handheld devices, static or mobile command centres. The ability to deliver first response teams an insight of a scene before implementing action instead of ‘flying blind’ via real-time notifications

  • Highest level of encryption ​
    ​
  • Can support up to 3 satellite devices (I.e. extra camera’s, audio devices etc.)
This advanced video surveillance functionality is readily available for law enforcement, defence, government, emergency management and event management requiring heightened forensic features unattainable with current surveillance infrastructure. 
Rapid Scout® in real life
The Lindt Café Siege in Sydney, 2014 is an applicable case study of where the Rapid Scout Camera kits could have had considerable impact had it been available to deliver its full range of benefits.

State and federal law enforcement agencies relied solely on limited, static video surveillance, both during and after Siege. Most of footage was captured by nearby channel 7 studios. Depending on media coverage and permanent, rigid surveillance fixtures hugely limited the opportunity to have a swift tactical response to live events.

The Rapid Scout camera kits allow for the creation of a full site CCTV set-up in minutes, regardless of size and location. With a combination of thermal imaging and high definition cameras, ISI’s Rapid Scout kits could have been set up around the perimeter and streamed back to command providing a clear image and more intel of the scene inside the café as the situation unfolded.
Counter terrorism surveillance of the future is now readily accessible. Rapid Scout® surveillance kits provide full scope security insights, actively working to safeguard Australia.
