BACKGROUND:
FususOne is a map-based interface that combines private and public video streams into a single feed, enabling greater situational awareness and a common operating picture for law enforcement agencies. FususOne combines video streams from field and mobile sources seamlessly into a single platform, thereby creating a unified public safety system that combines video with other data utilities like floor plans and camera registry maps.
