NICE Systems Video Recording For Key UK Airport Security Role
Partner Touchstone installs NiceVision platform Ra'anana, Israel, May 19, 2003 - NICE Systems (NASDAQ: NICE), a worldwide leader of multimedia recording solutions, applications and related professional services for business interaction management, has enabled powerful new content-based information search and retrieval capabilities in a key security recording and storage system at a major UK airport.
Implemented by NICE specialist partner Touchstone Electronics, the system supports image search and retrieval based on real world criteria like registration plate number, rather than relying on simple time or date parameters.
This advance - a feature of the NiceVision Pro video security platform - makes possible a whole new range of security applications where event-driven indexing and access to stored content can increase significantly the value of recordings to users while making their jobs easier, more productive and more efficient.
The Touchstone installation combines vehicle detection, number plate recognition, multiple-camera recording, intelligent threat assessment and super-high image quality coupled to image compression and storage servers.
"The NiceVision video security platform not only gives our customer a powerful security solution, it also delivers valuable business information benefits thanks to its content analysis, database and image quality advances," says Touchstone Electronics managing director Steve Tyler. "It also includes in-built redundancy and is fully scalable to meet future needs."
NiceVision is part of a turnkey security system that marries best-of-breed technology with Touchstone`s integration, installation and project management expertise. "Using NICE means we can offer our customers choice, scalability and good performance for the price. NiceVision has been a success here and certainly one we would offer again," adds Tyler. "More importantly, NICE has demonstrated real strength of support for us and our customer."
Based in Oxfordshire with on site facilities at both Heathrow and Gatwick airports, Touchstone Electronics specialises in providing fully integrated systems for airports, covering the use of video, audio and data management applications, with high definition CCTV, access control, fiber optics and public address systems.
