Israeli Company's IP Video System Up And Running At Reagan
Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport has completed
implementation of a NiceVision Net IP video surveillance system,
the company said in a news release Tuesday. NICE Systems LTD was
selected as the result of a competitive solicitation process, and
the company says this latest NICE deployment will help the airport
improve safety and security for its 18 million annual passengers,
as well as providing a platform for future expansions and migration
to IP video surveillance. The project is being funded through the
TSA's Advanced Surveillance Program under the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act (ARRA).
Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport is the nearest
commercial airport to the U.S. capital and is in close proximity to
the White House, the Capitol building, and the Pentagon. NICE's
video surveillance solutions are among the components by which the
airport ensures safety and security at its three terminals,
checkpoint areas and the airport grounds. Now, with funding for
advanced surveillance equipment, the airport has added the new NICE
IP-based solution which NICE says will further improve video
resolution quality and performance and pave the way for future
expansions and migration to IP video.
The system is designed to enable security personnel to
anticipate, manage and mitigate security, safety and operational
risks by capturing and analyzing video, and ensuring that the right
people get the right information at the right time, to take action.
Video data is indexed for easy retrieval, giving airport security
personnel an effective solution for event investigation, debriefing
and reporting. Furthermore, NICE's IP-based video surveillance
solution accommodates both analog and IP cameras on a single
platform, allowing the airport to maintain its current
infrastructure while having a path to migrate to IP.
"Aviation security is a market NICE knows and understands very
well," said Chris Wooten, president, Security Division Americas,
NICE, "and our ... security technology, ranging from open, IP-based
video surveillance systems to full-fledged solutions for situation
management, reflects our market leadership in the security
sector."
