The OM247 system has 6 main components:

 

 

 

 

 

  • EMMO PDA Utility Software

 

  • EMSyS Control Centre Software

 

 

OM247-MU Monitoring Unit

 

The Monitoring Unit links the subject's tag (PID or Personal Identification Device) to the Monitoring Centre.

 

Leading edge location and communication technologies and an array of anti-tamper features guarantee the highest levels of versatility and assured integrity.

 

Features and Benefits include:

 

  • Use of wireless telecommunications ensures rapid, low cost installation.

  • Multiple tag monitoring (up to 200 tags) reduces hardware requirements for hostel installations.

  • Multiple tamper checks deter disconnection, deliberate damage and unauthorised movement.

  • GPRS network capability minimises operational costs.

OM247-TRAK GPS Unit

 

The OM247-TRAK GPS tracking unit gives criminal justice authorities a valuable and versatile new tool to add to the traditional range of non-custodial sentencing options.

 

 

Used in conjunction with the OM247-PID, the unit allows a subject's movements to be tracked 24 hours a day. Continuous real-time surveillance (active tracking) can be used for the close supervision of higher risk category offenders in the wider community.

 

When the unit is lifted from its docking station (OM247-DOK), it must be carried at all times by the offender wearing the PID, otherwise an alert will be raised.

 

When the unit is docked in the intelligent charging station, the PID monitoring range is extended up to a maximum of 150 metres. The unit then behaves in the same way as an OM247-MU home curfew system when the subject is at the curfew address.

OM247-OPID Electronic Tag

 

The OM247-OPID fits securely around the subject's ankle. It continuously transmits an encrypted RF signal to the Monitoring Unit. If the PID is tampered or moves out of range of the MU, an alert is automatically sent to the Monitoring Centre.

 

 

Dimensions of only 72 x 35 x 18mm and a weight of just 70 grams, make the OM247-OPID the most compact and lightest tag available.

 

It has been demonstrated by independent authorities as impossible to remove without detection. The strap locking mechanism is subject to worldwide patent.

OM247-FIT Installation Tool

 

The OM247 Fitting and Installation Tool is an integrated electro-mechanical device for use during installation and decommissioning. It physically locks the tag around the subject's ankle and electronically configures it with the Monitoring Unit at the curfew address.

 

 

The Installation Tool's functionality can be extended by using the EMMO PDA application.

EMMO PDA Utility Software

 

EMMO software completes the monitoring officer's toolkit. Running on a portable PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), it communicates with the Fitting and Installation Tool using an infrared connection. It can be used to extract detailed historic status information from the equipment.

 

 

RAM Operation

EMMO can also be used in conjunction with the Fitting and Installation Tool in RAM (Random Alternative Monitoring) mode. This allows field monitoring officers to quickly detect if there are any active PIDs nearby, and to find their tamper status.

EMSyS Control Centre Software

 

The EMSyS monitoring software package operates at the heart of an OM247 installation to seamlessly link the various office and field based functions. It receives and automatically analyses curfew data transmitted by the Monitoring Units to determine the behaviour of the subject in relation to the curfew order.

 

Events and alarms are displayed at the Monitoring Centre and are compiled as reports for automatic distribution to field-based staff.

 

The system can be customised to fully meet the requirements of any monitoring authority workflow scheme.

 

 

The system is fully scalable to accommodate any size of home curfew programme. Sophisticated security safeguards ensure data integrity and maximize service uptime.

 

A modular approach allows the system to be customised to individual programme requirements including:

 

  • Networked, multi-user interface in any language

  • Local or distributed report output

  • Equipment inventory management

  • Scheduling of field-based personnel
