New tech allows first responders to access live streaming in emergency situations

JACKSON, Tenn. — In the event of an emergency, is not only important to have information, but to have access to the information as quickly as possible.

Eagle Eye 911 Camera Sharing is a new feature with Eagle Eye Networks.

“The goal of the product is to provide the 911 call center with the first eyes on the scene, so that they have more information, so they can better make decisions and get the first responders there faster and more accurately,” said Dean Drako, CEO of Eagle Eye Networks.

Any organization, like a school, business or corporation that chooses to take part will need to deploy an Eagle Eye solution.

“We have lots of those, some of those are where we provide the cameras, some are where we utilize their existing cameras,” Drako said.

And then you can follow the simple instructions listed with the camera sharing permissions.

“And then they would select to share those cameras, to the 911 call center, in the user interface,” Drako said. “There is no need for them to reach out to the 911 center, or the police, or anybody. They just need to simply check the box. And once the box is checked, the cameras will then automatically be available to the 911 call center during a 911 emergency.”

And according to a press release, police are expected to have a holistic view of the situation to ensure people are safe as responders decide on the best course of action.

Therefore, with the simplicity of presetting the product, there is one less worry in the heat of an emergency — and this can make a big difference in saving lives.

“We believe that this is kind of the key to making this successful, is we got to make it easy and simple for the end users to make that, to make the right choice,” said Drako.
