High Criteria Announces Liberty Interview Recorder Version 2.8

High Criteria Inc., today announced the availability of the Liberty Police Interview Recorder (LIR), V2.8.

The Liberty Police Interview Recorder is designed with recording features that address the needs of police and other law enforcement services. Specifically, the application records the audio, video and associated notes directly to the hard drive of a recording PC. Thereafter, the file may be managed, just as is any other data file. Integrating the interview recording with the computer environment allows the police service to leverage their existing investment in computing services and make use of current facilities for security, backup and recovery and long-term archival of the data.

The Liberty Interview system allows services to eliminate older DVR and VHS machines. The player program facilitates transcription, and the recording file may also be saved in a format that plays in Windows Media Player on an PC.

The system facilitates the addition of meta-data to the recordings. Later, this meta-data may be used as search criteria when looking for a specific recording file. Extensive search facilities are included with the application.
​
Among other updates, the Liberty Police Interview Recorder V2.8 includes the following new features:

• The configuration of Case Fields has been enhanced. You can now specify the number of fields that will be available in case-style bookmarks, define different types of fields (i.e. standard, date, fixed list, or text), and enable users to choose from a drop-down list of possible values.
• The "Pause" button can be removed from the Recorder’s user interface.
• Pan/tilt/zoom controls are available on the Video Preview window when these are supported by the camera.

• Audio monitoring can now be available at all times even when recording is not active.
