With the total of $100,000 in grants, we purchased five Irecord systems for nine interview rooms from Office Data Systems, a vendor for this product in Latham, New York. The cost for this system was approximately $78,000. The remainder of the money is being spent to equip a courtroom in the Schenectady County Courthouse so that this evidence can be easily played for juries. We also have secured forfeiture funds to equip the State Police barracks in Princetown with this same system so that within a short time every police agency in Schenectady County that conducts interviews and maintains a facility for that purpose will be recording police interviews in their entirety for all felony cases.

Our system went online on April 1, 2008, and we have recorded 372 interrogations to date. The reaction of all parties in the criminal justice system has been uniformly positive.

Our Agency installed the iRecord system in our Investigative Division in 2014. Since implementing the system, we have conducted several interviews, and have been especially pleased with the product. iRecord is simple to use. That is key because Detectives don't have time to learn complex systems, they just need to be able to do their jobs.

The iRecord system is a HUGE improvement over our previous system. The hard drive, which iRecord utilizes, allows for a larger, safer storage vault and is easily accessed later if needed. The note taking availability is a nice feature, allowing for documentation of key statements or confessions during the interview.

We have found your staff and technical support to be very accommodating. The staff has addressed any and all concerns we have brought forth and seem very knowledgeable. I have found this system to be exactly what was needed by our department. We are very satisfied with your product and the staff. We have recommended it to our neighboring agencies.

Our agency has had the I -Record, One Room Essential since March 3rd. Since that time, we have conducted several interviews utilizing I -Record. This system is extremely easy to use. It enables us to input more detail into the information screen, which makes retrieval much simpler.

The quality of the interviews is far superior to our old system. Plus, under our old system, we had to record directly to a disk. If someone forgot to start the recorder, that interview was lost. This system has it in the hard drive. Another advantage is that we can input notes directly into the interview, such as when a confession is made or other important facts. Because it is windows based, on play back, you can chose to go directly to those areas, Without having to fast forward through the whole disc.

Overall, our agency has been extremely satisfied with this system and would recommend it to other agencies with similar set ups.

Another great aspect has been the friendliness of I -Record employees and techs. When we have had a minor issue, someone has been on scene within an extremely short time frame and fixed our problems. Customer service is outstanding.
