PARAMUS, New Jersey and
BALDWIN, New York, December 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
Video cameras help maintain safety and security, but a new
partnership is providing a new perspective on the ground for
security organizations.
NICE Systems (NASDAQ: NICE)
and CloudScann have announced an integrated mobile
application solution, turning smartphones into reporting tools to
document incidents as they happen and allowing officials to act
faster to resolve them.
The integrated solution combines NICE's situation management
solution, Situator, with CloudScann's hosted See It Send It mobile
app. By using the app on their smartphones, field personnel can
report incidents, including sending video and photos, to a
centralized command center through NICE Situator. Communication is
bi-directional, so Situator can also push incident alerts, task
lists, and links to live video feeds to the mobile app. This will
extend the real-time awareness of safety, security, and operational
issues for the largest statewide public transportation system in
the U.S.
Situator pinpoints the GPS location of the sender's phone as the
incident location, and can then pull up video feeds from nearby
surveillance cameras. The command center operator immediately sees
who's sending the alert, where it originated, what's happening, and
what actions to take. The app is also equipped with a panic
button.
NJ TRANSIT has already deployed the solution at a major event,
and plans to extend the use of the app for daily use among its
maintenance, customer service, and transit police personnel. For
example, maintenance staff will be able to view assigned work
orders, their location and related video, and report back to the
control room when the job is complete.
Chris Wooten, Executive Vice
President, NICE Security Group
"By extending these capabilities to field personnel for daily
use and to transit employees for large events, organizations will
gain unprecedented situational awareness to help ensure the highest
levels of security, safety, operational efficiency, and customer
service for passengers. We believe it's a model in mobile
technology innovation that other transit agencies will surely want
to emulate."
Dan Kerning, CEO, CloudScann
"The CloudScann See It Send It app and NICE Situator
technologies are truly complementary. The combination of the two
promises significant benefits, not only for transit but for other
organizations that want to improve their situational awareness,
communication, and collaboration."
NICE's security solutions help organizations capture, analyze
and leverage big data to anticipate, manage and mitigate security
and safety risks, improve operations, and make the world a safer
place. The NICE security, intelligence and cyber offerings provide
valuable insights that enable enterprises and government agencies
to take the best action at the right time by correlating structured
and unstructured data from multiple sensors and channels, detecting
irregular patterns, and recognizing trends. The solutions have been
deployed to help secure a broad range of organizations and events,
such as banks, utility companies, airports, seaports, city centers,
transportation systems, major tourist attractions, as well as
sporting events and diplomatic meetings.
