Bank Aljazira Deploys VidSys PSIM To Centralize Security Operations

By Kirsty McMahon on January 20, 2014 vidsys-logo Bank Aljazira (BAJ), a leading Shari’ah compliant financial institution in Saudi Arabia, has deployed VidSys Physical Security Information Management (PSIM) software, in order to reduce risk and enforce standards across its security operations. With the financial industry institutions facing increasingly sophisticated threats directed at bank assets and brand integrity, BAJ’s security team sought to reduce risk and ensure compliance with recently strengthened Saudi Arabian Monetary Agency (SAMA) security regulations.  BAJ selected the VidSys PSIM to help implement rigorous corporate standard operating procedures (SOPs) across all its facilities, including ATMs, cash centres, branches and corporate buildings.  With a multitude of systems, sensors and devices all generating alerts and alarms, BAJ needed to create a streamlined and centralised view of operations.  Leveraging the PSIM platform, the BAJ security team can now efficiently detect, analyse and respond to any incident across its geographically dispersed locations, while simultaneously adhering to its SOPs and complying with new SAMA regulations and standards. SecuTronic, a leading Middle East systems integrator, deployed the VidSys PSIM software platform, leveraging this technology to enable integration of multiple proprietary systems, including GE and Nedap access control technology, fire systems from Bosch and Simplex, video from Dedicated Micros and American Dynamics and a large network of ATMs.  The VidSys multi-vendor video management application tightly integrates BAJ’s surveillance capability with alarms to provide real-time verification.  By combining all of the systems into one user interface, the VidSys solution facilitates greater situation awareness and resolution […]

Better Way offers a full continuum of care in an approachable, safe setting. Monitoring ad recording all activity inside and outside is essential for an environment where mental health client, counselors and operations staffs are constantly in close quarters. The ability to review video evidence of medication storage and dispensing, client and staff interactions, and perimeter security was critical in ensuring the safety of everyone and the organization itself. Challenge Before installing Aimetis Symphony , there was no form of intelligent video monitoring for staff safety procedures, theft protections and facility monitoring. The outdated CCTV system in place was failing and did not have record or alarm capabilities needed to reliably record, easily search and intelligently analyze multiple incidents a day. The facility is exposed to a high risk level because of the number of people entering and exiting the premises each day as well as the activity within the building. Solution A Wide Area Network (WAN) was utilized connecting the entire facility while providing over 30 days recording history of many HD and standard cameras. Automation of alarms at exits outside normal hours was set up to ensure that the proper staffs were aware and informed of any changes in the facility. Utilizing video analytics, Better Way Miami configured […]
