The new Partnership for Priority Video Alarm Response (PPVAR) is pleased to announce that Anthony Canale, vice president of Verisk Crime Analytics, has joined its board of directors. Verisk Crime Analytics, a unit of Verisk Analytics, supports law enforcement with crime-related analytical tools that bridge the gap between the public and private sectors to provide value for the industries they serve.
Since the Partnership for Priority Video Alarm Response group was introduced a primary point of discussion has been whether it would continue to operate as an independent organization or whether it would be absorbed by an established industry organization like CSAA or ESA, in order to ensure that the message sent to law enforcement and insurers was cohesive and representative of the whole industry.
Protection 1, Romeoville, Ill., partnered with I-View Now to enable cloud-based video services. The integration of the I-View Now technology enables receipt of alarm video — both pre- and post-alarm — in Protection 1’s security automation system by alarm center agents, as well as simultaneous delivery to customer mobile devices and event storage on the customer’s eSuite Web-based account.
A new organization is bringing security manufacturers, central stations and dealers together with law enforcement officials and insurance companies to reduce property losses resulting from burglaries and increase arrests that get criminals off the streets.
