About CIDNET Video App
CIDNET Video App is the name of the app created by CIDNET. It is used by the facility with the aim to connect inmates and approved contacts without having to visit the site. With it, distance is no longer an issue. Aside from that, it is also possible for them to exchange talks in real time.
About CIDNET Utilization Events (CUEs)
In their housing areas at the facility, inmates can use touch screen devices mounted to the walls to video call their loved ones who are outside. It is only possible if they participate in Video Conversations which are also popular as CIDNET Utilization Events or CUEs.
There are a lot of benefits of CIDNET Utilization Events or CUEs, such as:
- They are free: In order to connect with the inmates with CUEs, the family members or friends of inmates don’t have to pay for blocks of time and per-minute rates, making it different compared to other services. All that they need to do is to purchase data.
- They are efficient: CUEs don’t involve staff. Everything can be done online and without the involvement of staff.
- They can be scheduled: The contacts can schedule CUEs from their home, meaning they don’t have to come to the facility.
- They work on any device: Feel free to use a phone, computer, or tablet. Anything is fine as long as there is internet connection.
- Their local version is available: In case there is no smartphone or laptop, there are local video CUEs. In order to participate in local CUEs, the family members or friends of inmates have to come to the facility. At the facility, they will hold a video session or conference with their loved one who is behind the bar.
- They have intelligence tools: These intelligence tools include Voice-to-text Transcription, Flagged Text Alerts, Multi-Party Detection, Visual Link Analysis, and Biometric Speaker Identification. They can be used to verify the identities of both inmates and contacts, detect any multiple visitors, and export recordings.
- They can be monitored: The security staff has the ability to monitor multiple video CUEs in real time using CIDNET’s artificial intelligence and machine learning technology.
- They can be terminated: The security staff can also terminate them if the inmate, their loved one or both violates the facility guidelines.
- They can be playbacked and downloaded: The investigators can playback and download past CUEs.
