There are several situations that require the ability to capture an image. Few of them are more important than those pertaining to private investigations. On this episode of A Look Through the Lens podcast, Scott Stover, Domestic Case Manager for Whitesell investigative Services, sat down with Sean Heath and they discussed the importance of resolution and visibility in modern day investigations.

The investigative industry has gone through quite a dramatic evolution, explained Stover.

“Whereas in the past it was just kind of a gumshoe approach to where people would just go out there and start beating the bushes to try to find out information. In today’s world, we have to compete with all types of technology,” he said.

In a recent case, the functionality provided by the latest equipment was crucial, Stover added.

“We would not have gotten that the information we needed, or the evidence that we needed to solve this case. It just simply couldn’t have been done without this type of technology,” he said.

Private investigators also maintain a healthy focus on the “private” part of their work and a discreet form factor helps accomplish just that, he said.

“We’re not like the Magnum P.I.s who drive a red Ferrari and wear Hawaiian shirts. We want to blend in with the environment,” he said.

Stover also suggested a way in which this gear could be utilized to aid in the prevention of crime.

“This type of technology, in a fixed position, such as having the sensors or cameras in a fixed position to where they could monitor things at night, would be very beneficial in crime prevention through environmental design,” Stover said.

Transcoding moves to the cloud. Intercom, tally and shading stay at the venue

Transcoding moves to the cloud. Intercom, tally and shading stay at the venue

Vendors draw the same line: transcoding and graphics move to the cloud, while intercom, tally and camera shading stay on site. Riedel says the connection back to on-site talent, cameras, tally and IFB can still undermine the production or the business case. Hybrid looks like where things settle.

  • 01Dillon’s analysis suggests hybrid cloud-plus-venue production is where things settle, making on-site hardware for latency-bound work a long-term facility plan item.
  • 02Interoperability standards such as SMPTE ST 2110 and NMOS handle the plumbing. The question to put to vendors now is how their systems provision, configure, tear down and monitor services alongside other vendors' gear.
