New technology usually comes with a hefty price tag. HomeWAV video visitation is different.

We’ve engineered our solution to be cost effective, first and foremost. We understand that for a technology to work for you, it has to work with your budget. Other internet-based inmate visitation systems can cost upwards of $6,000 per station. This high, front-end cost is not only prohibitive to many smaller institutions, but it also typically results in a decreased interest in ensuring consistency of performance for the long term. HomeWAV’s business model is designed to not profit from its government partners. We keep the cost of equipment and installation to a minimum, ensuring that attention to our product’s performance is the key driver of revenue.

Here’s a rundown of how HomeWAV helps you save on inmate visitation.

How HomeWAV Helps Save on Inmate Visitation

Saves Labor

HomeWAV reduces operating costs by eliminating the payroll burden of requiring “operators” to connect visitors with inmates and to coordinate and schedule visits. HomeWAV saves countless hours for correction officers and administrative staff. No operator assistance is required to conduct visits. No operator assistance is required to schedule visits, either.

Saves Money

HomeWAV is offered to detention and correctional facilities at a significantly lower cost than our competitors. For a minimal investment, the HomeWAV system can be provided and installed on any wall, even without electricity, and will be network ready at the selected station location.

Produces Revenue

From Day One, revenue from usage is shared with the detention facility. Other visitation systems generate no revenue, garner less revenue, or defer revenue sharing altogether.

Saves Taxpayers

Taxpayers no longer have to fund visitations and expensive video visitation systems. The HomeWAV fee-based system is installed at minimal cost to taxpayers and generates a revenue stream for the detention facility.

Saves Visitors

Pay Per Minute Fee structure with no minimum call length and no connection fees.

No License Fees

Competitors charge licensing fees to visitors and government agencies. This is true whether the system is used or not. There are no licensing fees associated with HomeWAV, and you own each HomeWAV unit from the first day.

Free Maintenance

HomeWAV provides 5-Star service and free maintenance for the entire length of our agreement, beginning on day one. Our competitors charge to maintain their systems.
