Eagle Eye ‘First Responder
Real-Time Video Access’
Eagle Eye Networks, Inc. today announced “First
Responder Real-time Video Access”. Eagle Eye
Security Camera VMS administrators have the
option to pre-designate first responders who can
receive immediate real-time security camera access
during emergency situations; the cameras are
shared only when an authorized user activates first
responder access.

“We’ve had an overwhelming demand to deliver
immediate video access to first responders,” said Dean
Drako, President and CEO of Eagle Eye Networks. “Our
customers want to be fully prepared to equip their local
first responders with critical, real-time insights in the
event of an emergency situation – while still retaining
their full daily privacy.”
The Eagle Eye Security Camera VMS First Responder
Real-time Video Access process works as follows:
1.
First
Responder
Pre-designation. System
administrators use the Eagle Eye Security Camera VMS
dashboard to pre-designate their list of first responders
who will be authorized to view the video during
emergencies. They will also authorize specific internal
personnel to be capable of activating the emergency
video feed.
2. Closed Loop Confirmation. To ensure that the
connection is made, after the administrator submits the
first responder names and email addresses, each first
responder will get a notification email and ‘accept’ the
request.
The first responders will also download the free Eagle
Eye Viewer mobile app so they will be able to instantly
view the video while in transit during an emergency.

Immediate situational awareness can be crucial
when there are intruders, a fire, or other situations.
The insights that first responders gain from the clear,
deep visibility can directly impact their actions —
from necessary evacuations, to the specific
protective measures they might take.
“Giving Public Safety Officers the ability to share live
video surveillance cameras on smart phones during
an emergency is a game changer in operational
scenarios. This solution can act as a response
multiplier by providing a coordinated visibility
component into emergency decision making,” said
Dr. Erroll G. Southers, former FBI Special Agent,
and current Managing
Director,
Counterterrorism
&
Infrastructure
Protection, TAL Global. “During a crisis, real-time
situational awareness and streamlined decision
making can be the difference in protecting the public
and first responders during life and death
situations.”
3. Activation during Emergencies. Following set up, the
video streams will continue to be private – only
accessible by the organization – until authorized
personnel activate the video access. As a safeguard to
avoid accidentally sending emails the user will also click
on an “are you sure you want to activate?” notice to
confirm.
Once the emergency video access is enabled, all
