Nectar is an Android application that allows users to contact police officers in an emergency via video call. The utility was developed during the coronavirus pandemic to monitor security and maintain social distance.
Helpful options
The mobile utility provides a close connection between citizens and law enforcement. In an emergency, users can quickly contact police officers to keep themselves and their families safe.
Nectar is a helpful tool for both users and police services. People are able to quickly call law enforcement to indicate a problem. Video calls allow people to not just describe an emergency situation, but to show it.
Through video communication, police officers can determine the level of danger. This allows officers to send the right number of people to fix the problem. Or it is possible that in this case it will not be necessary to send a brigade. Therefore, it saves time and helps the work of the police department.
Privacy
Nectar takes care of data privacy. The utility only collects the cell phone number of the caller. The officer needs this info to make the call. The persons name, location and other personal information is not requested.
It is important to note that the camera is not automatically connected when the call is made. Users control the activation mode of the video call themselves. If you want to help police officers, you can also download SAPS. It is convenient to inform law enforcement about crimes and wanted suspects.
