SADB wins contract on police interrogation rooms.

Sainte Anne de Bellevue firm MaestroVision has won a contract worth nearly $120,000 to equip Longueuil Police with its state of the art audiovisual recording systems for its three interrogation rooms.

“The systems that we sell to police departments and to universities are all derived from broadcast technology,” MaestroVision video expert Michel Girard told The Suburban. “This solution is suited to those kinds of applications.”

By indexing interview notes, the Quebec-developed technology makes it simplifies and speeds up the process of selecting salient portions of the recordings, enabling investigators to use the system themselves without having to rely upon a highly trained technician, added MaestroVision marketing director Maria Martinez.

“The interface is very easy to user,” she said in an interview.

The company has sold its systems to many police departments all over Quebec and has just made inroads into the United States, where it has an office.

“Lévis, Quebec City and [Canadian] Military Police are some of the police services that use it,” added Girard. “We just sold two in Florida. We also have people in Mexico.”

Founded in Vaudreuil-Dorion in 1998, MaestroVision subsequently moved its headquarters to Sainte Anne de Bellevue. In addition to the applications that it sells to law enforcement agencies, it also provides leading-edge broadcast solutions for webcasting council meetings, municipal video libraries, broadcast automation, video servers, traffic management and classroom recording, among other applications.

Quebec’s MJQ is upgrading their technology.

The President of MaestroVision, Claude Turcotte, is delighted to announce the signing of a $2.35M contract for the complete modernization of the recording systems at the MJQ, the Quebec Department of Justice. This new technology will digitally record six audio tracks in each of the 517 hearing rooms in Quebec, compared to the current two track recording system. The quality of recording will be greatly improved and will facilitate the efficient extraction and replay of desired content.

THE MAESTROVISION MEDIA MANAGER AT THE HEART OF THE SYSTEM

Record management is at the heart of the technology to be installed by MaestroVision. The system ensures the availability, integrity and compliance of all recording data. A centralized redundancy back up will be established to serve all fifty eight courthouses and another thirty eight service offices throughout Quebec. This MaestroVision solution will provide a sophisticated search engine to find specific recordings using a multiple key word algorithm, as well as by file or case number. This will provide access to comprehensive statistical analysis, and allow for the removal of inactive judicial records according to a retention schedule, as provided for in the Archives Act.

TECHNOLOGY AND SECURITY

MaestroVision technology meets best practices in both IT and data security, providing the MJQ with a secure and robust recording and archive system.
