Real Time video surveillance over today’s cellular networks

In development for over four years, Comet Technologies proprietary codec compresses video into a format optimized for low-bandwidth, live streaming. Comet’s codec is the first and only technology to allow reliable video to be transmitted to and from commonly available cellular devices. Live upstream video is now possible over 2.5G and greater cellular networks. Utilizing limited bandwidth, Comet technology allows continuous video and audio uplinks without dropping the connection regardless of falloffs in available bandwidth or weaknesses in the cellular network’s coverage.

The New York Police Department uses Comet technology to do surveillance and recently used four cameras to monitor New Year’s Eve festivities live from Time Square. The ability for police dispatchers to monitor dashboard cameras in real time can be a true life saver for those in the field.

Industrial Security

Comet Technology is in use by municipalities worldwide to enhance management, security, and accountability. The St. Petersburg Subway system has deployed Comet’s mobile video solutions to enhance decision making processes during routine procedures as well as in a crisis.

By sending Comet–equipped personnel to remote locations within the system management can evaluate situations in real time while simultaneously creating a time-stamped video record of their actions.

It’s not just for Cellular

Comet technology is useful in any situation where available bandwidth is limited. Police departments can use Comet-enabled cell phones for long-term surveillance using the cities WiFi canopy network. It’s easy to switch from cellular to WiFi to satellite using the same technology, the same video server, and the same viewing software.

Easy to use Software For professional applications

Comet’s Launch Center software is easily installed on any Windows or Mac PC. The Launch center allows a viewer with a user account to view mulitple streams of live video simultaneously. When a live feed comes online from the field the Launch center notifies theviewer and the video stream can be dislayed on screen with one click of the mouse. The Launch Center user can resize the display, open multiple windows, and replay previously transmitted video. LaunchCenter even supports multiple mionitors with a unique feature called Studio Marker which allows the user to move any video stream onto another monitor just by dragging the mouse. In addition to Launch Center, Comet video can be viewed on a private and secure web portal by any internet connected PC with the proper credentials. Comet Capture, our video transmission software, installs easily on most Windows-based smart phones. When a higher quality video feed is required, Comet Capture can be installed on a laptop and used over a cellular air-card, WiFi, or any available broadband connection.
