Remote Video for Sobriety Testing

CSSS, an industry leader in security monitoring, wanted to offer home arrest monitoring services to local and state authorities. They chose FCI to develop a unique video monitoring application that combines Microsoft Windows-based software and low-cost, remote video cameras. This specialized application enables operators at a central location to perform sobriety tests via remote video cameras. The application, developed for Sentencing Alternatives, a division of CSSS, uses a central database of test subjects and a predetermined schedule to automatically initiate video calls to remote camera units.

The solution combines Sentencing Alternatives' Video Information Capture (VICAP)® Client Interview Application (a Windows NT server-based Administration Application) with a central database and Internet browser communication capability for reporting test results to various government agencies.
