Protecting borders, unmanned remote facilities (e.g. power, communications stations), and critical assets (e.g. pipelines, pumping stations) is a challenging and complex effort. It is made even more difficult when the information received from different systems cannot be integrated to provide for real time situation awareness and management. Often the difference between success and failure in responding to a threat is minutes or seconds, making intelligent integration of relevant information, in real time necessary for high performance Command and Control operations.
Challenges
- Integrating physical security assets and quickly identifying and resolving real time security situations
- Lack of Command and Control solutions that run in a centralized and distributed environment
- Management and identification of false alarms
The VidSys PSIM system
The VidSys Physical Security Information Management (PSIM) software helps Border Control and Homeland Security:
- Manage borders, unmanned remote locations, valued assets, and buildings from central or regional command centers, or remotely from field operations centers and mobile devices
- Integrate alarms and events from multiple security devices, correlate the alarms into manageable situations
- Coordinate activities across multiple groups of personnel
- Enforce the use of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for management and situation resolution
