The project, which uses a software platform with a Google Maps interface, is part of the Police Department’s initiative to integrate technology from multiple vendors into one system. The department is currently in the process of integrating its computer-aided dispatch system, automatic vehicle locators and in-car police video cameras into the overall infrastructure.
Authorized users will be able to view live and recorded footage from the city cameras by clicking on their location points on the Google map. For each camera, users will have the ability to pan, tilt and zoom, according to the department.
Sandy Springs Police Chief Terry Sult said the camera access will provide officers a view of an area — particularly parking lots — that’s better than what a single officer in a squad car could obtain.
