CSI Live in Action: Cracking the Code to Forensic Video
#PB02
Fee: Paid Programming
Date: Wednesday, April 2
10:00 am – 11:00 am
Location: 302
Speakers: Blaine Davison, Donald R. Zoufal, Steve Surfaro

Description:
TV crime shows and the nightly news set unrealistic expectations for forensic evidence by broadcasting grainy images. In reality, video surveillance cameras should be the ultimate objective observers, and advancements in technology are moving ever closer to viewing an ideal crime scene. Time wasted searching video is a thing of the past. Today’s technologies can provide clear pictures even in crime areas with difficult lighting through color-at-night video and license plate capture. Understand how these systems work and how they enhance investigative techniques.

Learning Objectives:

• Better understand the capabilities and role of video surveillance for forensic use.
• Understand the requirements surrounding the usability of surveillance video.
• Leverage the benefits of IP video and their surveillance system to provide the right coverage for forensic video.

Concepts presented combine elements of visual activity used by real-life operators at several emergency operation centers around the country.

Learning Objectives:

• Review conditions needed to design a compelling command center.
• Recognize how aspects of PSIM, central station automation and video management software technology can work together to successfully deploy a command center.
