Control room & live operations

The control room,
delivered to the field.

Trace Vantage brings live video and sensor feeds onto one operational surface: CCTV, ANPR and drone in a single control room. When it matters, an operator can mark a target and stream that feed straight to an officer's phone through a secure, expiring link. Every access is case-scoped and audited. Feeds are delivered, not dumped.

Operational challenge

The feeds are live. The field is blind.

A control room can be rich with real-time video and sensor data while the officers who need it most are working from a radio description. Cameras, plate readers and drones each live in their own tool, and none of them reach the team on the ground when the situation is moving.

Feeds in silos

CCTV, ANPR and drone video sit in separate systems, so no single operator sees the whole picture in one place.

No route to the ground

What the operator can see rarely reaches the officer approaching the scene, who is left acting on a second-hand account.

Sharing without control

Ad-hoc workarounds to get a feed to the field risk leaving footage on personal devices, outside any case boundary or audit.

How Trace Vantage helps

One live wall. One secure route to the field.

The control room unifies real-time feeds onto a single surface, then gives the operator a governed way to push any one of them to a named officer. Eyes-on-target moves from the operator's screen to the officer's hand without leaving the force boundary.

Feed 01

CCTV live wall

Multiple camera streams on one multi-camera wall, so the operator can watch a scene from every angle at once.

Feed 02

ANPR reads & hits

Automatic number-plate reads and hits surface on the same surface, tying vehicle movement to the live picture.

Feed 03

Drone with telemetry

Live drone video alongside its telemetry: battery, signal and heading, so the operator flies with full situational context.

Feed 04

Eyes-on-target

Mark a target and stream the chosen drone or camera feed live, ready to share to the team that needs it.

Share to the field

An operator shares a feed to an officer's phone as a mobile Field View. The stream is issued as a secure, expiring token, not a permanent link.

Case-scoped by design

Access is filtered against the case ACL server-side, so an officer only ever receives a feed they are authorised to see.

Nothing left behind

Field View streams to the device and nothing is persisted on it. When the token expires, the view closes.

How it flows

From the feed to the officer, in one governed path.

Feeds converge on the live wall inside the force boundary. Sharing issues a short-lived, case-filtered stream to a named officer's device, and the access is written to the audit trail like any other evidential action.

Use case: armed response

Eyes-on-target before, and during, contact.

For an armed deployment, the control room pushes a live drone feed to the field team so commanders and officers have eyes-on-target as they move in. The team approaches with the same live picture the operator is watching, not a description relayed over the radio.

This is a use case of feed-sharing, not a separate product mode. The same secure, expiring, case-scoped route carries the feed, and the same audit trail records who received it.

In the moment

The team moves with live eyes-on-target.

The operator marks the target and streams the drone feed to the deployed team's Field View. Battery, signal and heading stay in view, the link expires on its own, and nothing is left on the device afterwards.

Governance & deployment

Live does not mean ungoverned.

Real-time operations run under the same controls as the rest of the platform. Feeds are shared under authority, scoped to a case, and accounted for after the fact.

Every access audited

Each feed access and share is written to the tamper-evident audit trail, with who, what and when, reviewable by the force.

Case-scoped access

What an officer can receive is bounded by the case ACL, enforced server-side rather than assumed on the device.

Expiring by default

Field View runs on a short-lived stream token. Access lapses on its own, and no footage is persisted on the phone.

Delivered, not dumped

Feeds are streamed to the officers who need them for the task, not broadcast or left open beyond the operation.

Inside your boundary

The control room runs within the force environment, on-premises or private force cloud, under force identity and keys.

Human-directed

An operator decides what to mark, what to share and to whom. Trace Vantage moves the feed; it does not fly the drone or act on its own.

See Data sovereignty & deployment › for how the control room sits inside your environment.

Outcome

What good looks like.

One shared picture

Operator and officer work from the same live feed, so the field acts on what the control room can actually see.

Faster, safer decisions

Eyes-on-target in the officer's hand shortens the gap between what is known in the room and what is understood on the ground.

Accountable throughout

Every share is scoped, time-limited and audited, so live operations produce a record that stands up to later review.

Next step

See the control room push a live feed to the field.

Walk through the unified live wall, eyes-on-target and secure share-to-field against your own operational and assurance requirements.
