"Every airport is challenged with the task of being proactive to critical security events. In order to be better prepared for these incidents, we utilize a command and control system that provides situational awareness of all connected video, access control, and other systems; allowing us to track and follow suspicious individuals across cameras, if required. It's equally important that we monitor the health and functionality of every security device and system 24/7 to ensure they are online and functioning. This central management system aids in that effort so that information is available when we need it. -- Clint Welsh, Manager, Aviation Security and Public Safety
San Diego County Regional Airport Authority Overview Developing plans to secure airports is complex. Terrorist threats, inside threats, human mistakes, as well as regulatory requirements all play a role in what that security plan looks like. And while putting a plan in place is important, setting the plan is not the main thing; it is deciding how you will go about achieving it. But, with so many disparate security systems -- video, intrusion alarms, access control, among others -- and the sheer volume of information coming out of these systems, this is no easy feat. Your security operations plans and your "airport access event response plans" have been reviewed.
How can you ensure that your processes are captured and are being followed consistently? Security and access events will happen.
How can you be sure your security personnel see important, critical incident information and know how to respond in a timely, consistent manner? You have multiple security monitoring tools in place.
With so many moving parts, are you confident your security infrastructure is working properly, your operators can make sense of the data coming from the tools, and appropriate airport and TSA security personnel can share critical information? Benefits Speed incident response time Boost suspect apprehension rate Ensure consistent performance and confirm operational readiness of security systems Enforce event response processes Answer questions like, "Where is that suspicious person now?", "Is this a real alarm or false alarm?", "Is someone probing us?" and "Where should I deploy my resources (guards/police) based on where I see more frequent alerts/alarms?" Improve resource (guards/police) deployment based on where more frequent alerts/alarms take place Enable security operations, airport police, TSA and other emergency personnel to be able to share appropriate, critical information
Solution The Proximex airport security solution centers on Proximex Surveillint™ and features the EZ Track™ module, a patent-pending video investigation solution that tracks suspects across multiple cameras. Centralized View of All Security Activity
Surveillint provides a centralized view of all security activity, including monitoring TSA checkpoints, and allows users to see the information that is relevant to their roles. For example, TSA checkpoint personnel only see their area of responsibility while airport security operations and/or police personnel are able to view all checkpoints along with any other cameras in the facility. Consistent Performance of Security Systems
To ensure consistent performance of security systems and confirm their operational readiness, Proximex Surveillint is the only PSIM solution that monitors the health of all underlying security systems as well as the networks these systems rely on. For example, Surveillint can monitor the health of DVRs to be sure they are recording. In a similar fashion, Surveillint observes video encoders, video cameras, access control systems and the networking equipment that the systems and devices are communicating on. It collects, analyzes and monitors this health information through standards-based integrations such as WMI, SNMP, Syslog and more. Personnel are consistently made aware of faulty systems so problems may be fixed quickly prior to a security incident or loss of information. Subject Tracking Across Multiple Camera Systems
Proximex is the first PSIM vendor to deliver Proximex EZ Track™, a patent-pending video investigation solution that makes tracking suspects across multiple cameras as easy as clicking an arrow. Suspects can be trailed backwards in time to see where they came from or caught up with in real time so that first responders can quickly catch up to suspects. Security officers can view suspects on a map based on camera locations while moving seamlessly from recorded to live video and snapping video images. EZ Track also exports all relevant video clips from multiple cameras. It also immediately generates a tracking report that reveals all camera IDs, video images and maps used the entire time a suspect has been tracked. These reports can be printed or emailed to other teams and agencies for further response or incident resolution. Event Response Process Enforcement
Proximex is the first PSIM vendor to deliver Business Logic Manager. Developed with the business user or policy manager in mind, Business Logic Manager automates actions and enforces policies and procedures using a drag and drop, Visio-like interface and library of reusable activities. Business Logic Manager displays incident and related information based on the policies and procedures (e.g, alarm details, live and recorded video, response workflow, contextual information, operator notes, etc.) Flexible Trend Reporting
Proximex Surveillint is the only PSIM solution to provide automated yet configurable trend reporting, allowing security personnel to answer questions like, "Where is that suspicious person now?", "Is this a real alarm or false alarm?", "Is someone probing us?" and "Where should I deploy my resources (guards/police) based on where I see more frequent alerts/alarms?". It also allows security personnel to gather the statistics required to proactively improve their security infrastructure and event response plans.
