Configurable, Highly Reliable Embedded Computers for Public Safety & Security

Case Study

An established operator of public safety companies across the United States specializes in visual and facial recognition software. Their technology is deployed for law enforcement agencies, emergency services, security installations, municipal infrastructure, and government associations. The software and associated embedded controllers are used in conjunction with camera systems for instant, automatic access data access. The operator-integrator relied on an internationally-sourced device for computer control of this application. However, they began experiencing performance and delivery issues with their existing solution.

The public safety company actively sought out Sealevel for an American-made – and supported – industrial computer with configurable I/O to support a range of cameras and other peripheral equipment. Specifically, they requested an i3 Core processor and a variety of computers to meet their different installation needs with the same footprint and proven performance.

Advancing Defense Technology: MOSA, SOSA, and FACE

Integrating new technology into military and aerospace systems presents a wide variety of challenges. Modern defense and aerospace sensor systems are highly complex, and final products often contain components from different vendors. Integrating these components into a system can be challenging due to differences in interfaces, protocols, and/or architectures. Further, rapid technological advancements can create compatibility issues between new and legacy components, complicating the issue.

To meet these challenges, the US Department of Defense (DoD) has mandated the use of a Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) in technology development.

Reliable Performance & Response Time for Gunshot Detection

Shooter Detection Systems has decades of experience in the development and delivery of gunshot detection technology. As a result, their certified gunshot detection systems are being used in schools, public venues, government facilities and international companies.

Shooter Detection Systems’s primary product is the the Guardian Indoor Active Shooter Detection System. The device detects gunshots and alerts authorities immediately, providing key data including specific room location. In an effort to improve the robustness of their Guardian solution in the absences of an IP integration, Shooter Detection Systems asked Sealevel for their recommendation.

911 Dispatch Console Computer

Case Study

A leading supplier of communication systems for first responders contacted Sealevel to redesign the 911 dispatch computer used for secure voice to IP communications. An important goal of the new system was to handle the processing and I/O required by their application without the obsolescence issues inherent with their previous “white box” servers and off-the-shelf PCI bus audio cards. The customer also wanted to combine the functionality of an external audio extender product with the main console computer in a single, compact design that could be mounted easily in an equipment rack or under the surface of a desk.
