Technical.ly DC: This local security company is headed to the Super Bowl

See an excerpt from an article on Technical.ly DC about Vidsys’ work at the Super Bowl in Houston.

An event like the Super Bowl (the 2017 edition of which takes place this Sunday) is a serious security challenge for the host city. Last year, around 1 million people visited the Super Bowl in Santa Clara, Calif. And a whole host of agencies, from transportation to venue security, were charged with collecting data (video surveillance, etc.) and keeping people safe.

Vidsys makes it easier for all these agencies to work together — and this weekend the local company will be helping Houston (the host of Super Bowl LI) with just that.

See, Tysons Corner-based Vidsys has developed a software platform they describe as “Converged Security Information Management.” The platform gathers information from all kinds of security systems (cameras, sensors, etc) and shows all that data in one centralized place. It’s a god view of everything happening in a given space in real time, if you will.

During the Super Bowl, the city of Houston will be using the Vidsys platform to easily share information with the various agencies involved in the event, like the police department, fire department and more. It’ll be an “interactive collaborative dashboard between the agencies,” as CEO James Chong put it, and will encourage closer collaboration between security stakeholders.
