#Gunshot Detection and Video Surveillance Saves Lives and Aids in the Apprehension of Criminals | #ESC_LLC #VideoSurveillance #Police | Why wait for someone to dial 911, or worse, why wait until someone finds a dead body laying in a side street? Gunshot detection acts to quickly solicit police response so 1) they arrive soon enough to save a life, and 2) they can hopefully apprehend the perpetrator(s).

The Value of #Video Surveillance in Public and Private Spaces | #ESC_LLC #VideoSurveillance #Police | There was a day when I believed public video surveillance to be Orwellian, but after reading about an incident in Boston where a young mother was murdered on the street and police detectives had no clue where to begin, I changed my mind. One of the detectives happened to notice cameras on a nearby building. So just in case there might be clues buried in that camera system’s NVR (Network Video Recorder), police asked to review what those cameras saw the night of the murder.This led to the arrest and conviction of the murderer.
