ViS Launch their new Demonstration Vehicle at the Cisco CBSW

At the Cisco CBSW this year, we also officially launched the new ViS Security Solutions Demonstration Vehicle. The vehicle has recently gone through some major changes and equipment upgrades which include the Cisco Physical Access Control Manager with Integrated Access, Alarm and Video Surveillance coupled with HDIP Intercoms.

The vehicle hosts a Cisco Integrated Services Router with Cisco Video Surveillance Operations Manager Software and Cisco Storage, all of which are hosted onto the Cisco ISR. The ISR has been fitted with PoE Ethernet Ports and 3G Wireless Connectivity for Remote Viewing. Also installed on the Router is the Cisco Call Manager IP Telephony system which controls multiple Cisco 7970 Handsets with IPHD Stentofon Intercom Integration using SIP Trunk.

To further demonstrate the unique flexibility and open architecture of the Cisco Video Surveillance Solution, we have Panasonic IP Cameras and Pelco Esprit 35x Pan/Tilt and Zoom camera which is programmed onto a Cisco Video Surveillance Encoder. The Video Surveillance Systems are seamlessly integrated with the Cisco Physical Access Control Manager platform which has HID Readers programmed onto a series of Cisco IP Gateways along with integrated Perimeter Protection Alarms.

The demonstration vehicle is available now to all partners and customers. Should you wish to receive a demonstration of the Cisco Physical Security Product Portfolio, please completed the form on the attached link.

Cisco Launch their New PSOM Security Management Platform

Cisco® Physical Security Operations Manager is a scalable command and control style operator console that unifies management and operation of Cisco Video Surveillance Manager, Cisco Physical Access Manager, and the Cisco IP Interoperability and Collaboration System (IPICS).

The Physical Security Operations Manager integrates security alarms and events from multiple sources, consolidates device management into a single location, and displays information on easy-to-use and intuitive maps, providing efficient data visualization and allowing seamless access to live and stored video and access-controlled doors.

The Physical Security Operations Manager is powered by a sophisticated business logic engine, enabling users to create custom workflows to support use cases that cross all product domains and helping to mitigate risk across an enterprise by providing actionable intelligence, speeding security incident resolution, and reducing security operations costs.

Cisco CTU in Galway, 25th November 2010

Harness the Power of Participation.

Cisco would like to invite you to join us for a half day Technical Community Forum.   The event will include a series of interactive sessions to see the new innovations and services from Cisco and learn how you can connect partners, customers, and employees securely, reliably, and seamlessly, anywhere, anytime, on any device.
For Cisco to deliver on the Borderless Network, innovation and continued development of the many different parts of the architecture is needed. This is why we are now launching Borderless Networks 3; announcing new enhancements to the 4500, 6500 Switching products and new wireless Access Points. To meet the challenges of connecting many different branches and customers we have developed a new routing platform the ASR1000 as well as enhancements to the ISR G2 which will help our customers deliver virtual services to the branch.

Security is also a major focus of this session. We will be taking the opportunity to discuss our innovations in Physical Security, combining Cisco IP CCTV solutions with network-based Cisco Physical Access Control for an integrated approach to securing our customers’ physical infrastructure. We will have in attendance a Cisco PhySec partner, ViS Security Solutions who have many years experience designing, implementing and supporting integrated Physical Security solutions for customers.

Video continues to drive network traffic and Cisco Medianet enhancements will help our customers deliver video solutions for now and the future.

Helping our customers deliver on Green Strategies and reduce energy consumption on the network, Engerywise will help move energy reduction from not just the network but to PC and other network attached devices.

Using IP Physical Security Technologies to Improve Hospital Safety

Using IP Physical Security Technologies to Improve Hospital Safety
(Live Webcast December 15, 2010, at 8:00 a.m. Pacific Time)

Ireland’s St Vincent Hospital and ViS Security Solutions share best practices to provide protection to the hospital staff and visitors and how to deploy Physical Security solutions on the IP network. You are invited to join the Cisco-sponsored webcast.

The construction of the new St Vincent Private Hospital started in March 2008 and the new hospital will open in November 2010, complete with 236 in-patient bedrooms. With Cisco Video Surveillance Manager, IP Cameras, and Access Control, St Vincent was able to provide total convergence of all system components onto a single front end graphical user interface . The integration of all doors and alarm devices with the video surveillance platforms allows for events to be associated with tagged video and presented onto the Cisco virtual matrix and Access Control UI enabling ease of operation and control. The converged Cisco Physical Security solution offers both value for money and provide a reduction in the total cost of ownership in the future.
