AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY FORM (Continued ....)
Subject: Retroactive payment for VideOversight Interview Room Recording and Case
Management System for the Special Investigations Section
Background Information:
Due to the covert nature of work that is being conducted by the Special Investigations Section, it was
imperative to separate their network from the main server of the VideOversight Interview Room
Recording and Case Management System that was configured for the Criminal Investigations Division,
the Homicide Unit, and the Internal Affairs Division which resulted in the additional procurement.
The video recording of interviews and confessions of suspects during investigations is vital to the
provision of viable and compelling evidence necessary for the successful prosecution of criminal cases.
The video recording of interviews and confessions reaffirms the credibility of the investigators assigned
to these cases and serves to negate the potential allegations of false or coerced confessions proffered
by suspects. The VideOversight Interview Room Recording and Case Management System
("VideOversight System") is an interview room recording and case management system which combines
both advanced digital video technology with comprehensive web -based case management software that
provides video monitoring, recording, retrieval, and archiving appliances, the only line of video recording
appliances with which the VideOversight System is operational and is the sole provider of the
VideOversight software in the United States, therefore no other vendor in the Miami -Dade area is
authorized to implement a fully integrated VideOversight solution inclusive of the aforementioned
required March Networks video recording appliances.
