As video conferencing usage continues to explode, so does the variety of applications.
Inspired by a recent news story, the thought crossed my mind: what if Sony Video Conferencing could help fight crime? Far-fetched? Perhaps not-- the result of this pondering follows.
7 Ways Sony Video Conferencing Can Save Your Stuff
1. 1080 High Definition 10x optical zoom PTZ camera
No need to squint, you’ll be able to pick “the perp” out of a lineup in no time. Even catch what brand of gloves they were wearing.
2. Bright-Face Technology
Less-than-ideal lighting? Not a problem with Sony’s Bright-Face technology. It provides optimum facial lighting for a brighter, clearer picture, down to the freckle.
3. Memory Stick Recording
Easily record the live video or capture still images directly from the codec onto a Sony Memory stick. Share by email, upload to YouTube, or take the media files directly to the police station.
4. Multi-Point Calling
Need a witness? Connect with a neighbor or co-worker to watch the events unfurl by hosting a quick multi-point call. Encourage your neighborhood watch headquarters to add a video conferencing system as well.
5. Far-End Camera Control
Don’t be restricted to a fixed field of view with a stationary camera – Sony Videoconferencing’s High Definition Pan-Tilt-Zoom cameras can be controlled by the far-end on a video call so you’ll know exactly where the bad guys are at all times
6. Additional Audio Inputs
A proven tactic to deter would-be criminals is to use the additional audio inputs to deliver intimating sounds using an MP3 player or YouTube Video..
7. Annotation
Once your expert witness joins the call, quickly bring them up to speed using the live video annotation to circle where stolen goods once were and highlight ideal locations to dust for fingerprints once the police arrive.
