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 […]

DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Research and Markets ( http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/lhbsdw/airport_and ) has announced the addition of the "Airport & Marine Port Security Market (Access Control, Video Surveillance, Screening & Scanning, Asset and Visitor Management, Perimeter Intrusion Detection, Network Security) – Worldwide Market Forecasts and Analysis 2013 – 2018" report to their offering. Despite the fact that transportation systems are usually inviolable, dependable, and more dynamic than ever before, compelling objections remain to assure the security of the port services that enable a flourishing network of international trade. The global port security market is estimated to grow from $22.28 billion in 2013 to $36.99 billion by 2018, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 10.7% from 2013 to 2018. Transportation hubs engage millions of employees, visitors, crew members, contractors, lorry drivers, and rescue staff with access to protected areas at these locations. Identifying and inspecting these individuals while concurrently facilitating and supervising their access within these demanding air and seaport facilities is crucial to empower secure, proficient, and dependable worldwide trade. There has been immense research for building comprehensive, efficient, and effective port security solutions. The port administration authorities are keen to inspect from people to particle that move across the ports. Governments have formed various regulatory associations and introduced security norms to benefit the coordination between port/facility security and state security/emergency agencies/services. Surging threats on ports and necessity for sustaining the nations’ business continuity are the key drivers for the port security business. The regional economies are experiencing high growth rates […]

Aimetis Improved Video Surveillance System For ‘Better Way Miami’
http://www.asmag.com/project/China50/bullet.htm Source: Aimetis Symphony | Date: 12/31/2013 Related tags: Aimetis , surveillance Summary Better Way has been providing services for over a quarter century, and has earned the reputation of being one of South Florida’s most respected recovery agencies. 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 […]

Frontier (Hamburg NY) Bus Vandalism Spurs Security Improvements
The extensive bus garage vandalism in the Frontier School District in October has led to a $20,000 security system at the district bus garage. The vandalism forced the shutdown of schools for a day. Add to that the $8,900 damage allegedly caused by the 18-year-old former student charged in the vandalism spree, plus at least another $10,000 in estimated overtime expenses tied to a seven-day-a-week night watch crew. The result is nearly $40,000 in total expenses because of the vandalism – linked to a former student who had dropped out of school. “Our bus transportation security system is up and running, so let’s hope no one tries to get through it,” School Business Manager Richard F. Calipari said. “We’ve secured our facilities and outdoor storage of buses.” The new security system became operational in late November and includes direct video surveillance and alarm trips to a security company. The new cameras also are linked into the Hamburg town police. The latest update came at last week’s School Board meeting. Afterward, interim Superintendent Paul G. Hashem was asked whether the district can recoup some of the money from the student who was charged. But Hashem said the district will not be able to recoup the costs. “He’s a young kid – 18 years old. He’s definitely had a hard life and spent 50 days in jail,” he said. Hashem, after consulting with an assistant district attorney, suggested counseling and community service for the former student. Buses had to be cleaned. […]
