In the country of Belgium, a large part of the population commutes via railways (200 million per year) and a significant part goods are transported that way (60 million annually), so when it comes time to maintaining their railways, the country needs a solution that offers quality security.
For this, Siemens turned to their long time partner, NICE Systems (News - Alert), for their NiceVision offering.
NiceVision will help enhance safety and security at the country's railways network. The NICE solution, installed at 50 sites across Belgium, provides real-time distributed digital video surveillance to help better protect the tracks, stations and passengers who travel their railways each day.
The management of the several stations will take place from a central control room over an advanced IP
network, a news release noted.
NiceVision offers combined video networking, video resolution quality and content analytics for surveillance and monitoring that makes monitoring sites easier and more effective without overloading their networks.
NICE Systems made news recently when they announced the introduction of a new information management solution, NICE Inform.
The solution offers a way to better understand incidents by utilizing multimedia and analytics for improved collaboration and response times.
