First Responders

by Carl Townsend last modified 2006-07-23 09:08 PM
Imagine a police cruiser in high speed pursuit of bank robbers, sirens wailing, guns blaz-ing. Back at police headquarters, an experienced team of experienced cops are watching the action on a live video stream from the cruiser and advising the pursuing officers while coordinating other officers to effect a speedy end to the chase.

Imagine a fire breaking out at a chemical plant. The first pumper truck on the scene steers their video camera to the action to relay in real time to the fire chief the nature of the fire. The chief and his team can coordinate additional support to those first on the scene to quell the flames quickly.

Imagine a car wreck. The ambulance's Emergency Medical Technicians stabilize the victims while a video stream is played to the emergency room trauma experts who know exactly how to prepare to save lives the second the victims enter the ER.
