Physical Security Information Management (PSIM)
NIC Partners has teamed up with two of the leaders in the Physical Security Information Management (PSIM) industry and can design custom solutions to make managing a large physical security infrastructure in one place.
Proximex Surveillint
Proximex Surveillint is the premier physical security solution for policy-based incident discovery, connection and resolution. Powered by a sophisticated business logic engine, 
Surveillint integrates new and existing security systems into a common platform and connects disparate information to mitigate risk across an enterprise environment by providing actionable intelligence, speeding security incident resolution, and reducing security operations costs. Surveillint features include:
Centralized Console
Surveillint offers a complete picture of all security activity in a single view in real time – no longer is it necessary to try to watch all the consoles in the security center at the same time.
Event Management: With Surveillint, operators can visualize sensor and alarm locations, simultaneously view live and recorded video, view asset/external event location displays, and execute sensor commands directly from hierarchical maps.
• Observe alarm locations and alerts on a geospatial map
• Manage and prioritize alerts based on rules
• Watch live and recorded video simultaneously
• Snap video images and export video
• Control PTZ cameras and door access
• Deploy alerts to officers in the field
• Monitor the working status of security systems
GIS integration with Surveillint allows security personnel to exploit GPS map details to better visualize their security zones.
• Drill down through maps
• Display security resources
• Track location of field officers or other location-based services via GPS
• Track moving objects on the map
Surveillint provides automated yet configurable reporting -- no need to spend laborious hours generating reports, copying and pasting from numerous security system consoles, or verifying accuracy.
• Create custom reporting templates
• Develop incident reports
• Build suspect tracking reports
• Generate trend reports
• Create security audit reports
• Export to multiple audit reports
• Send reports via email
Surveillint makes tracking suspects across multiple camera views as easy as the click of an arrow -- trail suspects without the need to memorize the many camera IDs and locations or manually search recorded video clips. With Surveillint, you can:
• Follow a subject across multiple camera views with ease
• Track suspects backwards in time or catch up with them in real time
• Monitor multiple camera views in tandem
• Seamlessly move from recorded video to live video
• Snap video images and export video
PocketSurveillint expands the reach of Surveillint to officers in the field -- no need to translate incident information verbally and risk miscommunication.
• Notify first responders with speed and accuracy
• Deliver automated incident information
• Receive view of incident details and subject dossiers
• Create alerts, add notes to existing alerts and modify alert status
• Enjoy two-way communication between the security office and field officers
• Supports Microsoft Mobile for SmartPhone and Pocket PC
VidSys RiskShield and VidShield
VidSys, physical security information management (PSIM) software, is designed and optimized to integrate and analyze information from legacy and new physical security devices and systems, and present the necessary data to automatically or manually resolve the situation in real time. The PSIM software creates a common operating picture for rapid situational awareness, management and real-time resolution.
VidSys starts with a range of devices - video, sensors, access control, etc. and provides advanced processing services for the device information through the VidSys Open PSIM Platform. Within the Open PSIM Platform there are five key components:
Adaption and Connectivity - This component enables connection, communication with, and management of installed devices and systems from multiple vendors.
Geospatial Engine - This component provides spatial recognition for geo-location of devices and supports situation mapping functionality in VidSys situation management and video management applications, RiskShield and VidShield respectively. For example, rules can be set such that multiple alarms from one location can be correlated.
Routing Engine - This engine optimizes the use of the network and identifies sources of information and destinations to move the data without going back to the command center thereby, avoiding possible bottlenecks that would arise from routing all traffic through a single centralized server.
Rules Engine - The Rules Engine analyzes event and policy information from multiple sources to correlate events, make decisions based upon event variables and initiate activities.
Dispatch Engine - This component integrates with communication infrastructure to "dispatch" external information such as messages, data and commands as well as automates the execution of other applications.
Finally, all of the situation management information and services are shared with the VidShield and RiskShield software applications to provide a complete situation awareness and management solution to effectively manage any security, business related, or emergency situations in real time. With the VidSys physical security information management (PSIM) software system, a single individual has all the necessary tools for situation management - data collection, verification, analysis, resolution, and tracking - enabling an accurate view - in real time - of all information related to situations that need attention and resolution.
