What cameras and VMS systems are supported?

VISTA supports industry-standard IP cameras with RTSP streams and integrates with major VMS platforms including Milestone, Genetec, and Avigilon. We provide detailed compatibility lists during scoping.

Can we run fully on-premises?

Yes, VISTA supports full on-premises deployment with no cloud dependencies. We also offer GovCloud and hybrid options based on your security and compliance requirements.

How are audit logs and chain-of-custody implemented?

Every system action is logged with user identity, timestamp, and details. Evidence packages include cryptographic hashes and chain-of-custody documentation meeting CJIS standards.

How do you handle retention and expungement?

VISTA includes configurable retention policies with automated expungement workflows. All retention actions are logged and auditable to meet regulatory requirements.

What's the typical time to first value?

Most deployments achieve first value within 4-6 weeks, including integration testing and officer training. Timeline varies based on integration complexity and organizational readiness.

How does VISTA work for airport perimeter security?

VISTA monitors airside perimeter cameras for unauthorized vehicle access, triggering real-time alerts to security operations. Integration with airport access control systems enables automated gate monitoring and breach response workflows.

Can VISTA track vehicles across multiple distribution centers?

Yes, VISTA can correlate vehicle sightings across multiple facilities in your logistics network. This enables fleet visibility, cross-facility security monitoring, and chain-of-custody tracking for high-value shipments.

How does corporate parking enforcement work with VISTA?

VISTA integrates with permit databases to automatically flag unauthorized vehicles in employee parking areas. Security teams receive alerts with vehicle details and can generate violation notices with photographic evidence.

What's the accuracy rate for license plate recognition?

VISTA achieves 95-98% read accuracy in optimal conditions. Accuracy varies based on camera positioning, lighting, plate condition, and speed. We conduct site surveys to ensure proper camera placement for your specific requirements.

Can we integrate VISTA with our existing security systems?

Yes, VISTA provides REST APIs and webhooks for integration with CAD/RMS, access control systems, VMS platforms, SSO/IAM, and ticketing systems. We support OIDC/SAML for single sign-on and can integrate with most enterprise security platforms.

VISTA — ALPR & Redaction

Real-time ALPR alerts and compliant video/audio redaction with audit trails—built for fleet management, airport security, logistics operations, and public safety.

Used in:

KPI-gated rollout

On-prem/Cloud

API-first

Measured Outcomes

Watchlist alert review time

↓ 40–60%

Redaction turnaround

↓ 50–70%

Critical CVEs → 0

before go-live (with OWASP sweep)

Capabilities

Hotlist/watchlist alerts with reviewer queues and dispositions

Fleet management & logistics security: loading dock monitoring, distribution center access control

Aviation/Airport: airside perimeter security, rental car facility monitoring, parking structure surveillance

Bulk redaction (faces/plates/objects/audio) for compliance, FOIA, and incident response

Chain-of-custody, access logs, and configurable retention controls

Evidence packaging and export for investigations and insurance claims

API-first: CAD/RMS, VMS, SSO/IAM, storage, notification, ERP integration

Investigator search: plate/vehicle metadata, geo-temporal pivots

How It Works

Streams/archives → detection & metadata → alert/reviewer workflow → redaction/export → CAD/RMS & records.
