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

PublicEye is the most advanced mobility solution for police, fire and EMS. However it’s available to the public safety community only. It’s companion product, Maphub, is a social network that can be downloaded from the app store. Together they allow the public and the public safety communities to collaborate and communicate with each other in ways never done before.

 
 

A better way to call for help from your mobile phone

A better way to call for help from your mobile phone

About 10,000 people die every year because of a serious deficiency in the 911 system: the wireless 911 callers location cannot be accurately determined by the dispatcher. It can be off by as much as a mile, as explained in this video by John Oliver.

Unlike the 911 system, which uses cell tower triangulation to locate the caller, Maphub sends the exact GPS location of the caller to PublicEye used by the police departments. The first responders can use the powerful features of PublicEye to reach the caller quickly. This video further illustrates how this is accomplished.

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. This video illustrates the silent alert feature.

PublicEye and Maphub together offer functionality today that is superior in many ways to the Next Generation 911 System, which is not expected to be fully functional for at least another 5 years.

 
 

A better way to keep your community informed

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.

A better way to "If You See Something, Say Something™"

A better way to "If You See Something, Say Something™"

If you see something, say something is the Department of Homeland Security’s campaign designed to raise public awareness of signs of terrorism and terrorism-related crime. What they are asking is to call 911 when you see suspicious terrorism related activities to report information such as who or what you saw, when you saw it, where it occurred and why it’s suspicious.

Maphub and PublicEye offer a better way to provide this information by utilizing the multimedia and GPS capabilities of mobile phones as illustrated by this video. We bring community and law enforcement together to fight terrorism.
