Testimonials

"An important aspect of a fire department is the ability to celebrate your traditions and still maintain the idea of innovation. PublicEye®, for us, is the most recent innovation we’ve had. It’s a technology that’s come at the right time."

Chief AchillesPortsmouth Fire

"With the iPad…[officers are] getting the information much quicker than they used to. This information is vital to the decisions they make so they can make fast, reliable, quick decisions at a moment’s notice."

Chief LavaleeLowell Police

"Anything that they needed to do remotely was all done from the device running through the PublicEye software. So this gave us an entire new dimension for the Boston Marathon that we never had before."

Officer WilderBrookline Police

"PublicEye allows everyone to be on the same page...it is absolute state of the art technology for public safety."

Chief BoyntonTownsend Fire

"Our engine can move out, supported by turn-by-turn directions after just one touch on the 911 call object on the map. Before we get there, we can even see photos and videos of the fire Tweeted by the residents and the neighbors. I cannot overemphasize the value of having another jurisdiction’s information in the hands of our first responders."

PublicEye® and Maphub™ Connect the Public to the Public Safety Community

PublicEye, the most advanced mobility solution for police, fire and EMS, and Maphub, a map based social network, connect first responders to the communities they serve to solve some of the most intractable problems:

About 10,000 people die every year because of a serious deficiency in the wireless 911 system, as explained in this video by John Oliver. This problem is solved if the 911 call is made from Maphub and the local authorities have deployed PublicEye as illustrated by this video.

Another big problem PublicEye and Maphub solve is the ability for cities and its residents to communicate with each other in a timely fashion. Cities can send routine and emergency alerts and their citizens can report crime and terror tips in the form of objects on a map. Using Facebook like features, the public can provide on the ground critical information in the form of photos, videos and comments.

As mentioned before, PublicEye and Maphub connect the public and the public safety communities. PublicEye’s multi-jurisdiction features seamlessly connect neighboring public safety communities. What we have here is a public safety ecosystem unlike anything you have seen!

 

A better way to call for help from your mobile phone

If you’re in trouble there’s only one way you can ask for help using your mobile phone: dialing 911 from its phone app. There are two serious problems with this.

1. Your local authorities may not be able to determine your exact location.

2. Making a voice call may not be advisable in certain situations.

To solve these problems, Maphub supports the SOS button. You can use it to call 911 and provide your exact location to participating authorities as illustrated by this video. This solution is so powerful that your location will be available even if you’re in a moving vehicle.

If you’re a rideshare passenger under threat or in a domestic violence situation, making a voice 911 call could put you into immediate danger. The SOS button provides the Silent Alert feature to send your location information to participating local authorities.

 

A better way to keep your community informed

Cities and towns have a need to keep its residents informed during its day-to-day operations or during times of emergency. Whether it’s a road closing due to an accident, parking prohibitions due to a snowstorm or evacuation zones during a hurricane, it’s important that all of the residents are reached in a timely fashion. Public safety and other city departments using PublicEye can send alerts that can be seen by the residents using Maphub.

These map-based alerts are extremely sophisticated. They can target residents in a specific geo-location. The content can be powerful and informational since they can contain text, photos, videos and location data. Residents can fully participate since they can add comments and feedback that can be very useful – not only to other residents but also to the public safety officials.

The Zco solution is superior to systems such as CodeRED® who primarily reach residents through landline phone calls. PublicEye and Maphub, on the other hand, reach residents on mobile phones making it possible to reach almost 100% of the residents,100% of the time. It also has the additional advantage of being free to the cities using PublicEye.
