Promat Envision 3 “Code-named Rattler”

It has been a long time coming but now that Promat 2 (which has enjoyed a large amount of success and has made great in-roads into becoming the standard for ID parades) is ageing, being written in 2006, it has been decided that the time is right to create Promat 3.

The new system will enjoy the very latest in state of the art technology and will work on all devices, not just pc’s. We intend the new system to take about 9 months to write giving an estimated launch date of early Autumn 2012.

I cannot give too much away at the moment as we are still in collaboration with police forces to see what new features we will include in the new system. We expect to have a draft design of the new system ready for January when we can start to begin production.

We intend Promat 3 to be an upgrade of Promat 2 so additional costs will not be incurred for forces upgrading to the latest version.

Promat National Video Database Goes Live

A new national database for all Promat Forces to share

Due to the collapse of the Managed NVID database in mid-2009 we have decided to take management of the Promat database on ourselves at a fraction of the cost given by the previous supplier.

At this time the database can only be used in Promat systems and is owned wholly by the contributing forces. This database has been approved for use in ID procedures by the NPIA.

For more information on the new database please click here

The database is now live after extensive testing done by the West Midlands police force to ensure that the quality is upto standard as I write this article multiple police forces are now enjoying the new national video identification database.

Currently Promat users enjoy 25,000 videos of which 100% are volunteer videos. With the advent of using suspect videos now we intend to increase this to 50,000 within 3 years with a pool database size of 300,000 videos to select from.

Promat video identification parade upgrade for Devon and Cornwall Police

Folloiwng recent trends Devon and Cornwall police have commissioned Promat to upgrade the exisiting video identification parade system promat version from version 1 to version 2 Promat envision.

It was identified that D&C Police would benefit greatly from a networked system as opposed to a standalone desktop system which is what Promat 1 is. The cost savings of moving to the new networked system are substantial when you look at prisoner transportation costs and the cost of ICT having to support multiple instances of the same application.

The large coverage area that D&C have means that with the new system all the stations can be linked and work more effectivlely together to create a force wide interaction for identification parade creation.

The original Promat 1 databases will be compressed into a single instance and a single Promat 1 license will be given free of charge to maintain the original Database.

Promat Video Identification Software New Website Launch

Filed under: Promat — Tags: ID, ID Parade, Identification, Identification Parade, Parade, Police, Promat, Promat Envision, Software, suspect, video, website, witness — Imagered @ 1:48 pm

We are very pleased to announce the launch of our new Promat video identification website.

This website is multi language and is aimed at promoting our Video Identification software to our European neighbours. We have written the new website in French, German, Italian, Spanish and of course English.

This website can be viewed at www.promatenvision.co.uk

What is Promat Video Identification?

In 1997, we produced the PROMAT live video identification parade system – currently we believe to be the best and most cost effective system in operation anywhere in the world today. We currently produce over 60,000 parades in house per year without the need for any external influence.

Video Identification in the UK has moved from the traditional line-up parade and now makes extensive use of video technology. This speeds up the process dramatically and makes it easier on the witness who no longer needs to confront the suspect in the flesh but instead views the parade in front of a monitor screen.

Our record of success speaks for itself: we currently supply the Promat system to 34 of 43 police forces in England and Wales including the islands of Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man. We have already secured many of the Caribbean islands and are currently working with partners in Malaysia, Canada and South America to setup pilot sites. We have also brought the Royal Navy into the fold, who’s prime requisite was a system that can run standalone anywhere in the world.

This revolutionary software, together with our enviable reputation and back-up services has been so successful that we are now set to widen our customer base even further by targeting many of our European neighbours.

Many organisations would be content with our dominant market position but we continue to push the boundaries of change that has brought us such success. We invite you to read about our exciting product developments, dedicated at targeting the simplification of creating Identification procedures, and to see where we see the 21st century PROMAT experience heading in partnership with you by continuing to provide what you want, when you want it.
