Operator built situational awareness for public safety
BabbarOps gives every role, patrol, command, tactical, investigations, and leadership, one shared live picture during an incident, so decisions are made on what’s actually happening, not on what someone remembers or relayed.
What BabbarOps is
BabbarOps unifies live video from drones, helicopters, fixed cameras, and witness phones with a live synced incident command workspace, one operational picture, from first response through resolution. The platform has two core systems:
- Live Command, the live streaming layer. A real time, multi source video wall that ingests UAS, helicopter, and camera feeds and delivers them to everyone with a need to know. EyesOn extends this to witness and field-officer phones, a time limited browser link, one tap, live on the command wall with no app required.
- Incident Command, the incident management layer. A live synced shared workspace where every role tracks resources, assignments, perimeter, intel, and status from first response through resolution. The moment anyone updates it, everyone sees the change.
BabbarOps is live only by design. Video is transmitted and displayed live; it is not recorded or retained by the platform. Each agency’s existing evidence and records system stays the system of record.
Why it was built
BabbarOps was built after commercial systems failed during live operations, including an incident where commanders lost situational awareness mid operation because the broadcast hardware dropped the feed. The cause is structural: broadcast encoders are designed for stable RF environments and reliable cell coverage. Field operations have neither. When signal degrades, legacy feeds drop at the worst possible time.
The platform was designed for those conditions, adaptive streaming that auto-tunes quality as bandwidth shifts, signal-health indicators that warn before a feed fails, and a weak-uplink mode that keeps video usable when legacy systems go dark.
The team
BabbarOps is built by two people who between them cover the whole workflow: the seat the incident is run from, and the infrastructure it runs on. One lived the failure firsthand. The other builds the fix to production standards.
A California police sergeant with 14 years in law enforcement, who has served as a UAS operator, UAS supervisor and incident commander on critical incidents. He has held nearly every seat on a scene: first officer, drone pilot, supervisor, incident commander, and the viewer miles away trying to build a picture out of a voice. BabbarOps began with the gap he kept hitting from all of them.
A distributed systems engineer with more than 20 years building real time infrastructure at scale, at Oracle, MapR, Nextdoor, Dremio and Pixeltable. He owns the platform side of BabbarOps: the streaming path that has to hold up on a bad uplink, and the GovCloud deployment Incident Command runs in.
Field validation
BabbarOps has been validated in real operations, across multiple critical incidents, ICAC operations, and SWAT deployments, ranging from 30-minute callouts to operations lasting more than eight hours. When broadcast hardware failed mid incident, operators switched to BabbarOps and command maintained full situational awareness through resolution.
