Circle 36 on Reader Service Card Use the cloud, lower IT costs Digital Ally is offering a highly cost effec- tive cloud storage solution for FirstVu HD body cam recordings, in addition to cur- rent on-site server storage options. Cloud storage offers certain benefits that may fit the needs of some agencies relative to local storage, such as removing the need for IT personnel if such individuals are not already available, a low upfront cost, natural disaster protection and offsite backup. Since each department's needs and poli- cies are different, Digital Ally can assist in the selection of the appropriate turnkey management and storage solution to fit both short- and long-term goals. Circle 35 on Reader Service Card Facial recognition app Animetrics' first API (application programming interface) for commercial licensing, FaceR , makes it possible for software developers to write programs based on Animetrics technology. The 2D to 3D technology, a cornerstone of Animetrics' ForensicaGPS product for law enforcement, takes a flat 2D image and converts it to a 3D model. This technology uses computational anatomy mathematical algorithms to create 3D facial biometric information of facial geometry, which in turn is used within face recognition matching algorithms. The FaceR API operates in the Animetrics cloud and is offered as a service. Open APIs are quickly becom- ing mainstream, and now Animetrics' FaceR API provides capabilities for face recognition that are limited only by developers' imaginations. Circle 37 on Reader Service Card Shoe print database Foster & Freeman's SoleMate FPX system com- bines an extensive footwear reference database with a streamlined search interface to make the identification of crime scene shoe prints faster, eas- ier and more affordable. Using a simple technique of selecting shapes, text and logos to represent a suspect print, users can search against a database of more than 31,000 individual footwear records to quickly and easily identify the shoe, boot or trainer capable of producing a suspect mark. Circle 34 on Reader Service Card Patrol car phone mount For first responders, finding the fastest route to an emergency is crucial. Mobile applica- tions such as Google Maps provide optimal driving routes, live traffic updates, and esti- mated arrival times. To simultaneously pro- tect and secure mobile devices in unpredictable environments, Trident Case has created Kraken A.M.S. smartphone cases that physically lock into a vehicle with an Arkon mount. Whether driving in an ambulance, a fire truck, or a police car, Trident's Kraken A.M.S.-compatible Arkon mounts are specially designed to provide optimal mobile device viewing and placement in any setting. Both driver and passenger can view vital information simultaneously, abandoning the discom- fort of manually holding the device during a time of crisis.
