Media
Emergency Video
Video may be useful for sign language, incident context, telemedical support or scene assessment. It should not be described as universally available in NG112; support depends on access network, PSAP tools, policy and media negotiation.

What it does
Emergency video can give PSAPs visual context, but it changes bandwidth, workflow, privacy and evidence-handling requirements.
Video is one possible emergency media stream in richer IP emergency sessions.
How it works
- SIP/SDP or application workflows negotiate video where supported.
- The PSAP receives, displays and may record video under policy.
- Fallback should preserve voice or text if video fails.
Key interfaces and protocols
- SIP/SDP
- RTP/SRTP
- PSAP call handling
- Recording systems
Systems it interacts with
- Total Conversation
- Accessibility
- Multimedia PSAP
- Recording
- Security
Common failure modes
- Video setup delays voice handling.
- Bandwidth collapse degrades session.
- Privacy and retention rules are undefined.
- Transfer drops video.
Implementation considerations
- Start with use cases and call-taker workflow.
- Define consent, retention and evidence rules.
- Test low-bandwidth and fallback behavior.
Standards
- ETSI NG112 references
- SIP/SDP media negotiation
