VIDSYS RECEIVES MOTOMESH™ READY VALIDATION FOR ITS PHYSICAL SECURITY INFORMATION MANAGEMENT PLATFORM

VidShield Supports the Integration of Mobile Video Sharing Applications Across Broadband Networks to Improve Situational Awareness and Public Safety

BALTIMORE - APCO International’s 73rd Annual Conference & Exposition (booth  #2117) - August 6, 2007-VidSys, the leading provider of Physical Security Information Management (PSIM) solutions for safety, security, commercial, surveillance, military and transportation organizations, today announced its VidShield™ platform is  MOTOMESH™ Ready.  This validation attests that VidShield has demonstrated its ability to integrate applications across the Motorola MOTOMESH wireless broadband network to support better situational awareness and decision making for public safety and transportation environments. 

Motorola’s mesh networking technology enables users to wirelessly access critical broadband applications and offers First Responders secure connectivity to video.  VidShield, a robust PSIM platform that supports the convergence of video management for security and surveillance applications with incident and event management, easily integrates video feeds into operations centers’ existing communications infrastructure and correlates real-time events with security policies to enable critical information sharing between centralized fusion centers and mobile First Responders for more effective collaboration, escalation and notification. 

“Having real-time access to security video through Motorola’s wireless broadband networks and being able to immediately visualize, analyze and respond to events via these networks are important steps toward better decision making and ensuring public safety,” said Rick Clarkson, vice president of product management, VidSys.  “The VidShield PSIM platform was built specifically to support this type of sophisticated technology and policy integration to better correlate events, automate responses and improve the management of security incidents.”

The technology infrastructure in today’s safety and transportation management centers is increasingly complex with multiple disparate camera and video management systems, and multiple GUIs for monitoring and control.  This complexity can lead to a lack of real-time situational awareness for mobile responders, putting public safety at risk.  The VidSys PSIM platform integrates multiple, often siloed products and systems, including various video protocols and formats, into a single seamless management platform.  True situational awareness is made possible by the MOTOMESH Ready VidShield platform through:
 

• Integrated Wired and Wireless Video Infrastructures:  VidShield allows video interoperability between the operations center and mobile wireless clients by functioning as a video surveillance gateway providing real-time information sharing between First Responders.
  
• Hybrid Analog and Digital Surveillance Management:  VidShield integrates multi-vendor, multi-format security and surveillance management technologies in one platform and supports analog to digital migration.

VidSys will be demonstrating VidShield and its MOTOMESH Ready capabilities in the Motorola booth #2117 at APCO International’s 73rd Annual Conference & Exposition taking place August 5-9, 2007 at the Baltimore Convention Center in Baltimore, Maryland.  Additionally, VidSys CTO James Chong will be presenting a conference session, “The Three A’s of Public Safety,” on Tuesday, August 7 at 1:00 p.m.   APCO International is the world’s largest organization dedicated to public safety communications.  For more information about APCO and its annual conference, visit http://www.apco2007.org.
