A project for aerial video monitoring was developed by Ivan Kristoff and experts in mobile computing and IT communications. Over a one year period they have worked together. The technical support from the IVAN (International Vertical and Aerial Rescue Network) assisted Ivan in the search of the most advanced and effective mobile computing equipment and wireless video broadcast technology (including IP cameras). These information systems, which include the IT equipment of Ivan Kristoff’s Rope Access Work Inc., could be used in remote areas and critical situations, during crisis situations. Part of these components Ivan tested in the heart of the Sahara desert, and he was pleased with the results.

Reporter Aliosha Shalamanov: “A volunteer organization, founded by Ivan Kristoff, is working on a pilot project for aerial video monitoring from a helicopter. If the City of Sofia Municipality is happy with the results, it is possible in the near future to have a an aerial emergency response provided by helicopter, which will assist the capital of Bulgaria in crisis situations.

Ivan Kristoff, aka SpiderMan, has initiated and committed to the development of this project. The wireless video monitoring from the air, will provide on-line contact between the emergency services and rescue teams. The helicopter will be equipped with remote camera control photo and video equipment. The visual materials can be used to train rescue teams in an innovative training program, called trailblazing.”

Ivan Kristoff: “In my case, it is a specialized training for my volunteer rescue organization, in which members of our teams will be introduced to visual presentations of situations where they have no experience, but they have to be trained to work in such conditions. They will learn in innovative way how to deal with crisis situations in rescue missions.”

His engineers tested also the GSM coverage of mobile operators in the capital. They checked the reception in vertical direction. Good connection is needed to easily send information from the camera on the helicopter.

These pictures, taken from a bird’s eye view, are used to save people, to catch criminals and prevent incidents like this in the “Indigo” discotheque (in which 7 kids died) explained the organizers. The Mayor Boyko Borisov, can see what is happening in the city and where there is traffic while he is having his breakfast.

Helicopter: Eurocopter Dauphin.Първо въздушно (от хеликоптер) видеонаблюдение чрез 3G и 4G

Въздушно видеонаблюдение и фото мониторинг от хеликоптер, осъществено от Иван Кристоф Човекът паяк, както е известен по света Иван Кристоф, се е ангажирал с разработването на проекта. Въздушното видеонаблюдение ще осигури постоянен он-лайн контакт на отговорните институции със спасителните екипи. На хеликоптера ще се монтират камери свързани с Интернет. Кадрите от въздушното видеонаблюдение могат да се използват и за обучение на спасителни екипи по метода трейлблейзинг (trailblazing). Въздушното видеонаблюдение не е скъпо, но липсва политическа воля за въвеждането му в страната, смята Кристоф. Затова той ще представи резултатите от въздушното наблюдението над София на Столична Община.
