BRICK, N.J., Jan. 13, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Deja View, Inc., the first company to introduce a wearable digital mini-camcorder with unique "after-the-fact" recording technology for the consumer market, today announced two new counter-terrorism products to help in homeland security efforts.
Available immediately from the Brick, N.J. company, the products -- Command Central and the Mobile Data Collection System -- are both targeted to major suppliers of security systems and services dedicated to keep private and public organizations secure from terrorists and other criminals.
Designed to be the hub for stationary and mobile data collection, Command Central is a powerful server-based software suite designed for ease of implementation. It enables users to implement a virtually limitless array of counter-terrorism tools that are totally compatible with each other, regardless of their hardware or software constraints, according to Sid Reich, Deja View president and founder.
"The beauty of Command Central is that it uses a data storage system that is totally transparent to any database format," Reich explained. "This means that existing software such as data mining, risk assessment calculation, DMV, INS and local fire and police systems will all work with Command Central."
He added that Command Central can control digital video recording (DVR) systems so their cameras can be re-aimed and the proper zoom can be used. Tasks that were once considered difficult, such as managing interfaces to various federal, state and local government databases, can now be handled automatically.
In any field surveillance application, collected data ideally should be easily searchable, transportable and compatible with the various agencies that need and use the information, said Reich. "That is why we developed the Mobile Collection System, which can store and send data in a standardized form to the agencies for database mining and threat analysis applications."
The system consists of Deja View's Camwear 100, the first wearable camcorder with the company's "after-the-fact" technology; a tablet PC with pen stylus, specialized detail-formed software based upon the popular Formulizer software package and can support biometrics such as fingerprint and retina scan integration.
In a recent article, Paul R. Pillar, national intelligence officer with the CIA, wrote:
"The collection and analysis of intelligence is the least visible but in some ways the most important counterterrorist tool, and is rightly thought of as the 'first line of defense' against terrorism." And, he added, because most intelligence gathered about terrorists or terrorist groups is "fragmentary, ambiguous and often of doubtful credibility," data analysis is thus almost as much of a challenge as collection.
Deja View, Inc. was founded in 2002 to design, manufacture and market a complete line of wearable camera products based on its own patent-pending "after-the-fact" video camcorder technology. The privately held company is headquartered at 260 Chambers Bridge Road in Brick, NJ, 08723. Phone number: 1-866-DEJA VIEW (335-2843). Email: info@mydejaview.com. Web site: www.mydejaview.com.
