Crimestar Web Interface

 

Powerful RMS Search Capabilities in your Pocket !
Secure Access from Anywhere 24 x 7


The Crimestar Web Interface (CWI) provides a secure, full-featured platform to query your Crimestar RMS & CAD database from any web browser enabled device, including smartphones. This interface is the perfect tool to easily and affordably extend the power of your information system's data into the field for all your authorized personnel. The interface system works in conjunction with the Microsoft Internet Information Servces (IIS) Web Server (included free in your existing MS Windows Operating System "OS").
 
 
 
 
    
Login Access to the Web Interface is completely controlled via the Crimestar RMS system security module including user specific options for enforcing FBI/NCIC compliant Complex Login ID values, Complex Passwords and device based Two Factor Authentication for even higher security.
If the transaction logging feature is activated all detail data records viewed are logged to the RMS audit log database. Transaction logging captures the Date & Time, User ID, IP Connection Address and the Identification of the record(s) viewed. Those log files can then be searched and examined from within Crimestar RMS to meet audit requirements.
By installing an optional Trusted Security Certificate on your IIS Web Server, (provided by a variety of 3rd party Certificate Authorities) all Crimestar Web Interface transactions can, and in most circumstances should, be run over a secured Encrypted HTTPS:// Connection!
 
SSL certificates are provided by a variety of 3rd party Certificate Authorities and can now be obtained 100% Free via Let's Encrypt which is an open certificate authority (CA), run for the public’s benefit.

The Crimestar Web Interface can maintain separate database connections for Computer Aided Dispatch "CAD" transactions and Records Management System "RMS" transactions. For those Crimestar customers who use the RMS Database Synchronize Utility program to create multi-agency regional databases system of shared information, your Web Interface can (for example) query your own local database for real-time CAD system transactions while using the shared Regional Database for RMS Queries.   
 
* CWI must be installed on the same server machine where IIS is installed, but can access databases using any valid network path.
The Interface can be run on any device that has a web browser, however the interface utilizes data formatting and visual screen layouts that are optimized for the typical smartphone tall & narrow display format. Hyperlinks are represented as buttons making it easier to select items and navigate thru the data via a touch screen display.
The Crimestar Web Interface is offered with a very generous licensing scheme allowing for up to 300 users per site license on an Unlimited # of web enabled devices. For most small and mid-sized agencies one (1) CWI site license is all you need to allow access for all your field officers, investigators and administrative staff.  Each additional license adds another block of 300 users.  Check out the site license low price.
