Checklist A list of questions to determine if you have what you need to optimize your video investigations—on-prem or in the cloud, now and in the future. What it takes to close cases faster with your video management solution Stronger automation for efficient investigations After an incident, your teams must quickly understand what happened and why. Smart tools within your video management solution (VMS) can help bridge the gap from response to investigation. Ask yourself: □ Can our operations easily handle incidents and investigations with minimal effort? □ Can we pre-program our VMS to alert dispatchers to specific events and help them take action? □ Can our VMS guide operators through standard operating procedures (SOPs) to speed up response times? □ How quickly can our operators assemble field reports for our supervisors to review? □ Can our team remain situationally aware and switch between live monitoring and investigative tasks? □ Can we easily track moving suspects by clicking to adjacent camera views? □ Does our video system allow us to record evidence as soon as an incident occurs? □ Can we efficiently build incident timelines while synchronizing all relevant video, data, and alarms? □ Can our team drag and drop footage from various cameras to accelerate storyboarding? □ Do we have tools to efficiently compile and share evidentiary reports after an incident? Smarter and faster evidence searches Manual searches can drain resources and slow down investigations. A VMS built with intelligent automation and responsible AI practices can be transformative. Ask yourself: □ Can we find the right evidence without sifting through hours of footage? □ Do we have quick search capabilities to query specific event attributes from our cameras? □ Can we use natural language searches and use our own words to find relevant videos faster? □ Can we narrow down our video searches using filters such as time, location, and object type or color? □ Do we have the ability to compile evidence from different sources, all in one place? □ Does our VMS allow us to use built-in camera analytics and metadata to find footage faster? □ Can we filter video searches by people, vehicles, colors, objects, and access events?
