HI SEC’s Video Solution Assists in Protecting the Nation

HI SEC’s new video solution provides several government benefits

In the current climate, Central Government’s security status remains at a high level, meaning public sector organisations need to be as vigilant as ever in identifying and reacting quickly to any suspect behavior. Combating such threats as terrorism is everyone’s responsibility in one way or another. The government’s highly trained specialists follow up on terrorist leads and investigate when the situation presents itself. The July 2005 UK bombings proved that terrorism is unfortunately closer than we want to believe, and the vigorous work of the UK government prevented further attacks of US bound planes from London this past summer.

HI SEC’s Video solution is an excellent tool to help combat any suspect activity including potential terror situations. Positioning cameras at numerous vulnerable locations allows security personnel to view all images and activity from one central location. Covering numerous sites and buildings leads to cost savings and vast improvements in efficiency. It reduces manpower, while still providing a comprehensive security system. Event based recording capability captures any out of the ordinary activity as it occurs, saving storage space on the Video Server and ensuring a reduction in false alarms.

Government’s IT network space can be saved and optimised by storing camera activity and forwarding it at a more convenient time with the Edge Network Video Server (ENVS^®®). This frees up your LAN/WAN during the busy work day, when the network demands are exhausted with constant communications.

No one better than the Government knows how fast technology changes. HI SEC’s Video solution’s mix and match philosophy allows the use of analogue and IP-based digital cameras at the same time. No doubt, an upgrade to all IP cameras is the final destination, however it can take time and there can be cost issues to consider. The ENVS lets you upgrade at your own pace, eliminating the need for a complete, expensive overhaul of your CCTV network, therefore maintaining budget requirements.

The Government has an on-going, extremely difficult task of maintaining the safety of the country and protecting the general population against any suspect threats or suspicious behaviour, and now HI SEC’s Video solution can aid greatly in achieving this objective.
