1. Zco’s Public Safety Products Renamed PublicEye
Zco Corporation’s public safety products, including PolicePad, FireTab, PolicePhone and FirePhone, now
come under a single, unified product name,
PublicEye™.
“The new name better describes the vision behind
our product line and eliminates brand
fragmentation,” according to Gary Mueller, Vice
President of Business Development for the public
safety products.
PublicEye is a real-time mobile intelligence platform
for police, fire and emergency medical services.
Using PublicEye, first responders can access critical
data for optimizing emergency response
operations. Some of that data has been bottled up
in back-end systems but until PublicEye could never
be accessed in time to help save property and lives.
Other data is now available for first responders from sources never accessible before. This includes
information from websites, live video and surveillance systems, and even social media.
Every first responder, using a secure link, uses their iPhone, iPad or Android device to monitor 911 calls
as they occur on a real-time map and in a list, and with one touch gets complete details. Other incidents
and objects, such as sex offenders’ residences, HazMat sites, condemned buildings, or other points of
interest, can be superimposed on the map. It even helps police, fire and EMS to interoperate with each
other within their own communities or with their counterparts in adjacent communities.
Along with the name change, PublicEye brings the general public into policing, firefighting and
emergency medical services like never before. At a house fire, for example, a neighbor calls 911 and
takes a photo (or video) and uploads it to her Twitter (or YouTube or Flickr) account. The Twitter icon
appears next to the 911 icon on the responders’ PublicEye device. First responders and chiefs see the
photo with one touch.
Public safety departments can initiate tweets and other social media postings to warn, inform and
educate the community. Road closings or travel restrictions can be communicated quickly to a wide
audience. Officers can take pictures of suspects right from surveillance video and send a group MMS to
other officers to be on the lookout. They can even watch live surveillance video from schools and other
public buildings.
When it comes to public safety, PublicEye gives police, fire and EMS departments the power to do more
with less.
