The European Space Agency (ESA) has given NICE Systems a mission to protect its heavily secured areas. In a $1 million deal, the ESA will use the NiceVision™ Pro Smart video management solution.
The system will monitor, record and analyze data from several hundred cameras installed throughout ESA’s headquarters in France and other sites in Italy, Germany and the Netherlands. “We decided to enhance our video security operation, which is critical for protecting our satellites and research and development facilities,” said Philippe Schallier, site security and risk management coordinator for ESA, in a statement. “After a lengthy review process of the market’s offerings by internal experts and external consultants, we decided that NICE’s solution best meets our needs.”
NiceVision’s content analysis applications will be used to protect the ESA from intrusion by analyzing video in real-time, detecting intruder threats and automatically alerting security officers to unauthorized entry. It will also be used in high-protection areas to count people and to verify authorized vehicles.
