Unified Drone Operations with BRINC LiveOps
Today, we’re thrilled to unveil the full capabilities of LiveOps, a cutting-edge software platform designed for first responders. LiveOps integrates with the BRINC hardware ecosystem, including LEMUR 2, BRINC Ball, and future drones, to provide teams with a unified platform for live streaming drone video feeds, communicating during crisis situations, storing evidence, and managing drone operations. Below we’ll cover some of the key capabilities of LiveOps.
Multi-Drone and Multi-Camera Live Streaming
BRINC devices integrate seamlessly with the LiveOps platform to instantly live stream LEMUR 2 camera feeds to the entire team, viewable on any internet-connected device. Operators can easily toggle between various camera feeds – visual, thermal, and 3D maps – regardless of what the pilot is seeing, allowing for customizable views depending on each mission. This works beyond a single drone, with LiveOps users being able to arrange all connected BRINC drones to be viewable on a single screen.
Access Real-Time Floor Plans
The real-time maps feature on LiveOps utilizes LEMUR 2’s LiDAR sensors – lasers to measure distances to objects and surfaces – to continuously gather data as it flies and scans, creating detailed 3D maps. These maps update in real-time during flight and can be converted to 2D floor plans using the Slicer tool, helping to document and get an understanding of the layout of a structure during or after a mission.
Real-time floor plans are built to streamline tactical workflows:
Informed Before Entry – Gain a clear understanding of the area layout before deploying officers to make entry.
Streamlined Post-Action Reports – Cut time spent manually drawing floor plans while improving accuracy.
Emergency Planning with Saved Floor Plans – Quickly access digital floor plans from past scans by address or map view.
Place and Record Calls
LiveOps facilitates two-way communications with external cell phones or BRINC devices, aiding in de-escalation efforts. With LiveOps, users can initiate calls and add additional participants directly from their browser. Additionally, through LiveOps users can record calls for better documentation during critical negotiations.
AI-powered Call Transcriptions
LiveOps provides real-time, AI-powered call transcriptions during missions, assisting negotiations and personnel briefings. If calls are recorded, a second AI analysis refines transcription accuracy and enables additional features like translation, saving time in the prosecution stage.
BRINC Vault Evidence & Data Storage
LiveOps serves as a post-mission database for call history, call recordings, call transcriptions, 3D maps, flight logs, drone footage and more. With BRINC Vault, teams can securely access mission-critical data, supported by CJIS-compliant logs for evidence integrity. LiveOps provides efficient evidence storage and management, ensuring data accessibility when needed.
Team & Fleet Management
LiveOps scales with your drone program, streamlining the management of additional devices and users. LiveOps offers team management of pilots, hardware tracking, and essential operational tools like flight logs, device location maps, and mission logs.
Training & Software Updates
The LiveOps resources section provides quick access to training videos, quickstart guides, and various ‘how-to’ product videos. Additionally, the software update portal is readily available within this section, enabling the management of both controller and drone firmware.
Security
LiveOps has FIPS 140-2 encryption for both data in transit and at rest, ensuring the integrity of your mission data. Data is securely hosted on AWS servers within the U.S., adhering to domestic data residency requirements. LiveOps is CJIS compliant, meeting FBI standards for managing criminal justice information, ensuring secure data handling.
Public API
Integrate LiveOps into your agency’s existing technology infrastructure. Whether it’s integrating data from Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD) or automatically sending evidence to your preferred Digital Evidence Management System (DEMS) platform, LiveOps enables connection with your systems.
