The Mobile Distribution Point of ICT Infrastructure (MPDIT) is a unique project of an innovative mobile device integrating modern ICT solutions with advanced hardware architecture and a modular design. The primary function of MPDIT is to effectively increase public safety and counteract and reduce many types of threats, such as natural disasters, unexpected interruptions in securing the area in IT services, and intentional damage to ICT infrastructure. As a result of the project, the applied tool improves the effectiveness of the Police and thus increases people's safety. The article discusses the design of a specialized command console that enables functional integration and joint management of various communication systems. In addition, the advanced IT solutions used are briefly presented.
This article discusses the construction of a prototype of a platform that provides the integration of video signals from multiple sources. Video sources can be both existing CCTV systems based on analog cameras, modern systems based on IP cameras and individual cameras of various types. The system consists of portable units that provide signal conversion, its encoding, video streaming and transmission over IP protocols. A distributed and modular prototype of the VSI system was developed. The system consists of modular devices that integrate video streams, user terminals and central system. The VSI prototype provides simultaneous access to a large number of real- time video streams . The system is fully modular, which enables easy expansion of both hardware and software. The article presents the obtained architecture and exemplary operating results.

The article presents selected results of research conducted by the consortium under the implemented project for national defense and security on “Video Signals Integrator" Acronym – VSI. Project Leader: Warsaw University of Technology. The consortium: Police Academy in Szczytno, Atende Software Ltd., VORTEX Ltd. No. DOB-Bio7/01/02/2015 funded by the National Centre for Research and Development. The essence of the Video Signals Integrator is to acquire and process signals from multiple sources: existing monitoring systems based on analog cameras, modern systems based on IP cameras, different types of individual cameras. The efficient functioning of the device depends on the properly prepared Configuration Database of the Central Video Integrator System. The configuration database contains information necessary to operate the system by users, both in the scope of authorizations (data of users who can use consoles of particular types) as well as sources of streams processed by the system. It also creates the possibility of grouping streams according to their source. This option allows the user to identify the sources of a given signal and the corresponding response. The functional requirements were taken into account in the development of the concept of Configuration Database. As a result of the research, a design of the pilot version of the VSI system will be created, along with complete server software and a full-sized user console.
The Video Concentration Device (VCD) is the component of the Video Signals Integrator (VSI). The whole VSI is a complex hybrid system containing hardware, firmware, and software components and can integrate and serve video signals from many sources. The VCD is a portable device capturing video signals in various formats from different sources, and transmitting them to the VSI server. Due to high complexity, VCD is equipped with a diagnostic system providing the possibility to remotely manage it. Its functions include the update of the firmware and software, starting the special diagnostic version of the firmware and the software, low-level expert access. In most cases it should eliminate the necessity of the on-site expert’s intervention, except in case of hardware failure
