Documenting Lahaina and LA’s Wildfire Damage with Street-Level Imagery
When UCLA and the University of Hawaii’s research programs need high-resolution 360° imagery of wildfire aftermath, they turn to Mosaic cameras.

How 360° cameras for public safety are helping first responders and emergency personnel
Client testimonials
Based on my experimental results, Mosaic data demonstrated strong performance in terms of spatial resolution, visual consistency, and overall usability, making it highly suitable for my research objectives.
We now have a head start on the new developments happening across Dakhla, and it’s a relief to know that we will be able to keep up with the city’s rapid expansion in terms of data, enforcement, and citizen complaints. We’re now able to react more quickly to public disorder, illegal buildings, and settlements. This is a major improvement for the government-business-citizen relationship, especially as the city works to attract more tourism and international investment.
Why choose Mosaic for public safety?
Infrastructure that’s safe - because you can see every detail of it
Public safety starts with understanding the environment. Damaged road signs, failed streetlights, obstructed emergency access routes, faded pedestrian markings, illegal structures encroaching on public space – these are hazards that only become visible at street level.

Mosaic camera systems give city authorities and public safety agencies the ability to systematically survey and document their entire urban environment, creating a comprehensive, georeferenced inventory that supports proactive identification and resolution of safety risks. When you can see every detail of your streets from the office – down to the condition of individual signs, the state of road markings, and whether buildings comply with permits – you can address problems before they cause harm rather than responding after the fact.
Remote monitoring and enforcement that keeps pace with a growing city
Urban environments change rapidly, and public safety departments are rarely large enough to physically inspect every corner of the cities they serve. High-resolution 360° imagery captured with Mosaic cameras gives enforcement teams a systematic, up-to-date visual record of the entire road network – enabling remote monitoring of public space usage, commercial compliance, building permit adherence, and infrastructure conditions without requiring field visits for every check.

Teams can identify non-compliant businesses, detect unauthorized construction, verify that public assets are well-maintained, and respond to citizen complaints from the office – freeing limited personnel for the situations that genuinely require a physical presence.
A verified baseline for AI-assisted safety analysis and research
The next generation of public safety tools – GeoAI models that assess infrastructure risk, machine learning systems that detect hazards, and cross-view analysis platforms that combine satellite and street-level data – all depend on high-quality, consistent ground-level imagery to train and operate effectively.

Mosaic camera systems produce the kind of spatially accurate, high-resolution 360° data that researchers and public safety technology developers need: visually consistent, precisely georeferenced, and detailed enough to support automated feature detection and condition classification. For cities and agencies building smarter, data-driven approaches to public safety, Mosaic imagery is the ground-truth foundation those systems are built on.

Police departments, firefighters, and security firms all benefit from the data gathered by our robust 360° cameras for public safety.
360° cameras can assist emergency response personnel, firefighters, and law enforcement before tragedy strikes or during a call for help. The six 12-megapixel image sensors and ability to capture 12-bit compressed RAW images ensure ultra-high-definition images, plus the GPS guarantees the most precise positioning.
