In fact, with the video visitation system, authorized personnel can monitor and control all aspects of the conference. Using secure technology, the video visitation essentially operates like a video voip conference. Recordings and live monitoring of conversations can take place using simple key commands.

Secure and privileged conferences can also occur allowing appropriate discussions between inmates and lawyers, clergy, judges, U.S. Marshalls and credentialed visitors.

Selecting a video visitation system can put all monitoring, access and control of simultaneous visits in the incarceration facilities hands. It improves their effectiveness at monitoring situations as well and can provide some cost savings even when considering that all conversations and interactions can be recorded for later analysis.
