BRINC has recently announced the launch of its groundbreaking software platform, LiveOps, with the aim of revolutionizing the management of drone operations for emergency responders. This innovative platform amalgamates live streaming, two-way communication, fleet administration, and evidence handling into a cohesive system accessible through any modern web browser.
According to a recent press release from the company, LiveOps is meticulously crafted to cater to the needs of emergency response teams, including crisis negotiation units, SWAT teams, patrol officers, search and rescue teams, and command personnel. By fostering a more synchronized approach to drone management, the platform strives to enhance efficiency and efficacy in public safety scenarios.
Blake Resnick, the Founder and CEO of BRINC, highlighted, “LiveOps amalgamates the functionalities of BRINC hardware products into a singular platform, bolstering situational awareness, evidence management, and operational efficiency for public safety teams,” underlining its significance in supporting the mission of first responders.
A prominent feature of LiveOps is its capability to stream video directly from BRINC devices such as the LEMUR 2 drone and BRINC Ball, empowering team members to tailor video feeds to aid decision-making processes. Moreover, the platform facilitates the manipulation of LiDAR data from drones, enabling the creation of dynamic 3D and 2D maps for situational analysis.
Furthermore, LiveOps facilitates two-way communication with external cell phones or BRINC devices, facilitating communication efforts for de-escalation and crisis negotiation. This encompasses features for placing and recording calls, accessing live transcriptions, and keeping ground personnel informed through internal messaging and live video feeds.
The platform incorporates the BRINC Vault for streamlined data management, serving as a central repository for flight logs and evidence. Ensuring the security and admissibility of records through CJIS-compliant logs, LiveOps plays a pivotal role in mission debriefing and legal proceedings.
Don Redmond, VP of Advanced Public Safety Projects at BRINC, emphasized that LiveOps seamlessly integrates hardware features into a singular platform, simplifying the management of diverse technologies and devices for public safety agencies, thereby facilitating the expansion of drone operations.
Moreover, LiveOps prioritizes security, adhering to CJIS standards and encrypting data to safeguard mission information. Engineered to support the growth of an agency’s drone program, the platform provides tools for team and fleet management, hardware tracking, and access to BRINC support resources.
With the unveiling of LiveOps, BRINC expands its repertoire of tools for first responders, continuing its mission to streamline and simplify their utilization.
