To protect its citizenry and commerce in light of a
recent upsurge in criminal activity, the state government of Morelos,
Mexico, created a model called “Mando Unico” (Single Command), based on a
system of police administration and operations that concentrates all
preventive state and municipal corporations into a single entity. At the
heart of this system: a new collaborative visualization technology
platform featuring a Barco video wall.
Improving safety with enhanced situational awareness
The State of Morelos developed a “C5” facility for Coordination,
Command, Control, Communications and Computing to facilitate
coordination of all agencies responsible for safety and provide
emergency services. “The State’s C5 is an example of a cutting-edge
system that offers the equipment and technology to enable law
enforcement to respond to the commission of any crime,” comments Miguel
Angel Osorio Chong, Ministry of Interior – Mexico.
The Barco collaborative visualization solution, implemented by AV
integrator ItalSystems, comprises a 5x3 OverView OL-721 series video
wall in the main room, with several NSL-4621 near-seamless LCD video
walls in the crisis room, penitentiary surveillance and NOC and SOC
services locations. All of these solutions are managed by Barco’s
TransForm N controllers combined with CMS-200 Control Room Management
suite software (V. 2.7), enabling users to display and share content –
including Perspectives (a grouping of sources) – among all video walls
in the facility over the IP network.
“Working with Barco Mexico improved the way we raise and coordinate
security strategy,” comments Alberto Ochoa, Project Manager for
ItalSystems.
