Washington, DC (PRWEB) July 03, 2013
Vector Electric, Capital Communications, LTG Federal and GAGE International have joined forces to integrate industrial off the shelf systems delivering advanced solutions that meet the Federal Governments rigorous needs for safety and interoperability.

Duane Pittman, president of Vector Electric, Bringing these topic matter professionals, all very accomplished in their fields, along with ideal of breed, planet-class technologies into a single, holistic resolution is a wonderful value to our customers. This is clearly a case of the complete getting higher than the sum of its components.

These technologies incorporate:
Brivo Systems- ACS OnSite Aparato HSPD-12 FIPS 201-(2) compliant Physical Access Control Method
Xirrus- Secure FIPS 140-two compliant 802.11 wireless network access arrays and manage
IQinVision- High definition megapixel video surveillance cameras
VideoInsight- Video surveillance and video management 
Veracity- Cold Store Network Video Storage

Working together, these firms have a established track record and verified functionality with Customs and Border Protection on the U.S. Northern Border, such as a mission essential installation for managing and monitoring detention cells at the busiest Land Point of Entry (LPOE) along the U.S. – Canadian border.

As part of a recent access control method upgrade project, the General Solutions Administration (GSA) approached Vector Electric, Inc. (VEI) requesting that an additional technological feature be included: a guard tour capability, utilizing current Personal Identity Verification (PIV) cards that would supply an audit trail of guard visitations to every detention cell and document that detainees are becoming effectively monitored.

VEI began installing Guard Tour as portion of the Brivo technique at locations such as the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel, the Customs Fort Street Cargo Facility at the Ambassador Bridge in Detroit, and the International Bridge at Sault Ste. Marie, MI. Soon after a number of months in which Brivo and VEI observed the Guard Tour method in action, the organizations saw several methods to make Guard Tour even far more successful and effective in meeting the special and pressing wants at every LPOE facility.

The all round aim for the new, integrated system was for end customers to be capable to use their HSPD-12 PIV cards seamlessly all through the complete facility. In addition, high-level integration of all the various systems was required to bring the facility to a complete new level of safety and method flexibility.

The Brivo system, in addition to its core server functions, also serves as the backbone for the new duress system. Anytime a staff member presses a duress button, all other staff are made aware by way of lights installed throughout the facility, and via new custom applications development the Brivo technique pinpoints the location of the incident and records the occasion for any future reporting or investigation needs. Furthermore, VEI in partnership with Brivo Systems has lately developed enhanced reporting capabilities practically eliminating the require for handwritten detainee documentation.

Functioning with the wireless provider Xirrus, the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel served as the laboratory for testing and perfecting new attributes and functionality for Guard Tour based on in depth Customs and Border Patrol employees feedback. Highlighted new features contain safe FIPS 140-2 wireless network transmission and enhanced network security.

We worked collectively to engineer the architecture and recognize the technology that would meet the stringent requirements for a secure wireless resolution for CBP. Xirrus with FIPS-140-two compliant technologies match that bill, explained Bill Knapp, Director of Business Development, Capital Communications. In the end, we have accomplished a higher-performing, extremely secure network.

All video and access information is accessible by way of the combined interfaces, delivering a complete view of activity anyplace in the facility through both access handle audit trails and video confirmation. The Brivo and Video Insight interfaces reside side-by-side on the desktop. The IDS, duress and PACS systems report data to Brivo and all video data flows to the Video Insight dashboard. The operator can mouse from 1 interface to the otherno wasted crucial strokes, complete technique visibility.

The firms have been installing and fine-tuning Guard Tour for these DHS facilities for more than four years and the innovation continues. This is the highest level of integration and seamless operation of this number of systems weve accomplished therefore far in our many federal security installations, stated Pittman. We believe this scalable, very flexible program model is perfect for rollout to any DHS CBP facility seeking for a price-powerful, hugely functional, and fast way to attain HSPD-12 compliance. Whats a lot more, by means of the Brivo interface this system is cloud ready, its just a matter of when the end user decides to make the transition.
