The Kern Group solution merges surveillance and business operations into a powerful intelligence gathering platform that helps manage and protect business.
Additionally, due the unique way the data is stored and retrieved, it’s easy to share live and recorded video with law enforcement authorities in the event of an emergency through the PDQView service. Police can access the video remotely live and real time as an event unfolds for accurate threat assessment and immediate situational awareness. “PDQView is easy for Police to use. All they need is an internet connection, which virtually every police vehicle has and the login credentials that are assigned by the end user. For example, a school district,” said R. Scott Kern. This facet of the hosted service makes it ideal for education, government agencies and municipalities. Private business also has the ability to opt-in on this added layer of protection and response. “In the wake of on-going violence and terror-related events both here and abroad, the easy and secure video sharing aspect of our service becomes increasingly important for homeland security and public safety,” said R. Scott Kern.
“The Kern Group has extensive experience in large application commercial, industrial and governmental video surveillance. Our new service brings that same high-level expertise to the small and medium-sized customer that may only need minimal cameras to adequately protect their businesses or facility. We can now deliver superior world-class HD video surveillance, operations and intelligence capabilities that are secure and remotely accessible with small camera counts,” said Kern
The Kern Groups browser-based web portal manages the video surveillance hosting and monitoring services for any end-user with an internet connection. Live and recorded video is accessible to the authorized user via their computer, smart phone, or tablet. All video is encrypted and hosted in a dedicated redundant secure operations center with both physical and logical security countermeasures. “The services are designed with the commercial, small business, and high-value asset protection customer in mind while providing 24x7 secure cloud recording, local back-up and live streaming video,” said R. Scott Kern
The service is a professional-level video surveillance solution and is ideal for quick onsite deployments of cameras. “The service is especially beneficial for multi-site organizations such as franchises, bank branches and schools; business owners and security and operations personnel can check-in to multiple locations quickly via single sign-on to easily see what’s happening in real time,” said R. Scott Kern.
The Kern Groups PDQView hosted video services leverages the power and cost effectiveness of professional cloud services by easily delivering encrypted, live and securely recorded video to the end-user and law enforcement, anywhere at any time.
