vGRID Gateway
The vGRID Gateway connects your CCTV & ANPR cameras and operator screens to the vGRID SaferCity Platform using NZ Police-approved software. Number Plate Information and images are received through ANPR metadata and CCTV streams offer live video without recording any footage.
Unlimited CCTV cameras can be configured for streaming as needed, providing flexible, secure connectivity to suit various network requirements.
To connect your site to vGRID using a vGRID Gateway, a simple 3 step process is required:
Discovery
SaferCities works with you to capture information about your existing CCTV system, which cameras you would like to share, and the overall design of the vGRID Gateway connection to ensure it is secure.
Installation
Physical installation of pre-configured vGRID Gateway at your site to approved standards.
Commissioning
Configuration of your cameras on the vGRID SaferCity Platform, enabling sharing with Police and other approved users on the vGRID App.
Connections will not impact your existing CCTV systems and sharing only happens when necessary. When Police and approved users need to view your visual information, they will be able to via the secure and audited vGRID App – but only if and when you give them access.
