RA'ANANA, Israel, June 11, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
NICE Systems (NASDAQ: NICE) today announced that the city
of Glasgow is deploying its
security solutions to enhance the community's safety and security
infrastructure. The implementation, which includes NICE Situator
and NiceVision for video management, will help the city strengthen
its daily operations and streamline incident response.
Glasgow was recently awarded
funding from the Technology Strategy Board (TSB) Future Cities
Demonstrator competition to show what can be achieved by innovative
use of today's technology.
The city is using NICE Situator, an advanced Physical Security
Information Management (PSIM) system, to consolidate data from
various city-wide services like Public Space CCTV and traffic
control within a single operations center. This information is
filtered into pre-defined response plans to help operators better
manage situations in real time. It also provides improved
visibility and control of different sensors and better
collaboration across relevant security and safety departments.
This initiative fuses Community Safety Glasgow's (CSG) CCTV
operation with Traffcom, the Glasgow City Council team which
monitors the city's road networks, traffic lights, and traffic
cameras. By pooling these resources, CSG and Traffcom now have
joint access to the city's entire network of live and recorded CCTV
footage.
As part of the £24m Future Cities Glasgow program, the city will
also install an advanced digital camera network to be integrated
with Situator. Any unusual activity that is detected over the
cameras will trigger an alarm in the command center, prompting
further investigation by emergency services.
Phil Walker, Managing Director
of Community Safety Glasgow
"The NICE solutions will enable us to address safety and
security requirements, and beyond that the solutions can be further
scaled in the coming months and years to help us improve city
services and crime prevention. We have also been impressed with
NICE's ability to help us deploy the solution in a short amount of
time."
Chris Wooten, Executive Vice
President, NICE Security Group
"This deployment reinforces our expertise in helping cities
around the world manage day-to-day life, as well as large-scale
events, from both a security and operational perspective. We are
very pleased to be a key player in safeguarding the city's
facilities as well as the huge influx of visitors that are expected
this summer, and look forward to a continued partnership with the
city of Glasgow. Glasgow is the first city in the UK to earn a
'Safe City' status, fully utilizing the capabilities that NICE
Situator can provide."
