Vidsys working with Houston authorities to provide ‘smart city’ management for Super Bowl
Vidsys, one of the leading global software technology manufacturers of Physical Security Information Management (PSIM) and Converged Security and Information Management (CSIM) software, has announced that as part of an ongoing effort with the City of Houston’s Public Safety Video Initiative, it will support security efforts through situation management and data correlation capabilities during Super Bowl LI (51), which is taking place on February 5, 2017.
The annual Super Bowl attracts massive crowds that create logistical, safety and traffic challenges on an enormous scale. Last year’s event in San Francisco attracted over a million visitors. Special events require the mobilization of multiple departments and organizations within a city or region, as well as a system that can manage and oversee all aspects of the operations. The Vidsys platform is a key component in managing events of this magnitude, as it uses recognized ‘smart city’ techniques to manage multiple inputs and data feeds. It collects, analyzes, verifies, resolves and tracks information from multiple, disparate subsystems using open architecture standards to help mitigate and manage threats and risks. The software works directly with special response groups, and connects command and control center communications and video footage, enabling authorized users from any location to view and manage situations in real time.
