NICE Systems, a provider of “intent-based solutions” and value-added services or announced advancements to its Open Situation Management initiative for multi-sensor security deployments such as high-end government security facilities and sporting and gaming events.

As part of the advancement, NICE Situator will be made interoperable with the latest version of DVTel’s Latitude NVMS video management system.

NICE Systems (News - Alert) enables enterprises and security organizations to extract Insight from Interactions, transactions and surveillance to drive business performance, reduce risk and ensure safety, company officials said.

A situation management software platform, NICE Situator addresses the security operations needs of seaports, airports, public transport, railways, city centers, military organizations, and enterprises. It enables automatic situation planning, response and analysis in real time, as well as thorough post-incident reviews and investigations, the company said.

With NICE Situator, organizations can fuse many different types of security devices and systems into a unified platform, including access control, video systems, perimeter intrusion sensors, location tracking (RFID, GPS), panic buttons, environmental sensors, communication devices, and much more, the company claims.

NICE Situator currently has over 150 gateways to different security and safety systems, including video surveillance, communication devices, access control, intrusion sensors, fire and safety, geo-location, building management, Web feeds, and data bases.

DVTel’s Latitude Network Video Management System or “NVMS” is the first enterprise-class solution to offer digital end-to-end monitoring and recording of video, audio, and alarms for surveillance and security applications, plus much more, the company said.

Its open architecture was designed on the latest .NET (News - Alert) development platform and operates on Microsoft Windows-based operating systems. Latitude NVMS gives customers the tools they need to view, capture, record, analyze, report, and store high quality video and audio—anytime, anywhere, according to company officials.

The platform is designed to effectively integrate with existing access control and CCTV equipment including analog matrices, keyboards, and cameras to leverage and protect legacy infrastructure and equipment investment.

The interoperability between NICE Situator and DVTel’s Latitude NVMS enables organizations to employ a broad number of video surveillance technologies as a single, tightly integrated situational awareness solution, the company said.

The two devices can communicate events and behaviors like viewing of live and recorded video, enhanced with metadata; integrated geographical information system or “GIS” and video solution (geographical orientation-related events); video-related alarms to trigger a NICE Situator response; and zone management, among others.

Eli Gorovici, president and CEO of DVTel, said, “The combination of our capabilities enables security focused organizations to benefit from DVTel’s cutting-edge IP video management and video analytic solutions, along with NICE Situator’s innovative capabilities for correlating data from diverse security, safety and operational systems.”
