RiskShield^TM for situation management and Vidshield^TM for video management applications automate the collection and management of data from a broad array of security devices making it possible to correlate concurrent events to help automate the remediation of security-relevant situations.

The benefits of converged security systems are driving the need to collect and analyze a potentially overwhelming amount of incompatible security data in order to determine the right response to abnormal or threatening situations.  Use of computing technology is increasingly required to effectively manage the complexity of diverse and growing security infrastructures being deployed by a variety of organizations. 

Physical Security Information Management (PSIM) requires an open software platform for not only the automation of data collection and recording but also the application of reasoning and intelligence to correlate relationships across alarms and events to produce a manageable set of actionable results. 

VidSys has leveraged its long heritage and impressive credentials in video management, situation management, and security system integration to build robust video and situation management applications.  These applications allow physical security practitioners to focus on awareness, assessment and action rather than operational details of underlying subsystems.

The applications are built upon the VidSys Open PSIM Platform^TM, a hybrid software architecture that integrates and leverages information coming from any video source and any detection, monitoring or control system.  It provides plug-and-play integration of incompatible security devices and subsystems (such as access control, RFID, video, sensors, networks.  It includes embedded analytics and correlation engines that use rules to "learn" how to recognize and associate multiple independent incoming events to determine high-priority "situations".

Empowered by this industry-changing platform, Vidsys is introducing a new paradigm for computer-aided situation management, enabling security personnel to effectively manage complex situations instead of just responding to individual events and the underlying technologies that identify and convey those events.
