  2. History of Video Surveillance in Phoenix • Old System • Analog • Microwave • Terrible image quality • No range • Seldom used by investigators • Never used for patrol operations

  3. Genesis for Change • Spoke of IP based video as far back as 2004. • Resistance from technical staff • Early 2006 used citizen’s “webcam” to investigate a narcotic complaint. • Began discussions about moving to Mesh based IP video surveillance. • No experience or knowledge within city.

  4. Summer 2006 • Baseline Rapist & Random Shooters • Mandate from city hall to establish video surveillance to support investigations. • Chose technologies, supplier and integrator for project. • Established a 30 IP camera network on 5 Firetide mesh networks within a 5 sq miles area of Phoenix In “2 WEEKS”.

  5. Results • Surveillance video freed up to 30 surveillance officers. • Resources able to follow-up other leads. • All suspects arrested summer of 2006. • Start of Phoenix’s IP Wireless video surveillance system “Desert Guardian”

  13. Lessons Learned For Success • Relationships are essential. • No one department owns infrastructure. • Before deploying system, have clear defined goals. • Training is essential. • Allow time for staff to accept new technologies. • Three keys to success • Proven technologies • Proven Integrators/Suppliers • Proper infrastructure
