Irish Security Company Flies High

Security companies reviewing safeguards for cash-in-transit vehicles, operators of public transport or fleet vehicles of any description can look to Dublin, Ireland for a solution to one of their major headaches.

Dublin company Digital Perception Ltd has a solution that can be used to monitor vehicles and review incidents. The "black box" developed by DPL is a cost-effective way for fleet companies to monitor their vehicles and capture video, voice and critical data real time and also store it to review incidents as and when required.

Security expert and Dublin entrepreneur Peter Doyle says, "With the security companies scratching their heads wondering how they can increase safeguards on their vehicles without their costs going through the roof this is a great solution. We can advise these companies of technology that is available to assist them and show them this product."

The vehicle can be viewed from a base monitoring station at all times, but typically the transmission to the station is activated by a panic button in the event of an emergency. It can be made possible to review transmissions from any secure link via the internet - for example access can be granted to any Garda incident room.

Cameras monitor the interior and exterior of the vehicle . Sensors monitor significant events like sudden braking, excessive speed and swerving. Video and voice data is continuously captured and stored in the black box, and the time-stamped information can be stored on a database for review. All transmissions and storage is secured using advanced encryption developed by DPL.

According to Doyle, the product has numerous applications. "The cash-in-transit application is one of many. PSV operators can use it to monitor the safety of their passengers, drivers and vehicles. Mounted in police vehicles it can record the scene when an officer is out of the car, for example when examining something suspicious or questioning a suspect.

"Furthermore, with the growing compensation culture and the rise in spurious insurance claims the system can be used to review and alleged incident and challenge the claim if necessary. Some companies will get a return on investment in this one area alone. Companies also have an invaluable training tool - driving can be reviewed and skills developed on an ongoing basis."
