Security Operations Centers (SOC) for critical infrastructure such as electric, water and gas utilities, railroads, and petroleum pipelines, are often geographically separated from their dispersed assets.
The remote facilities are unmanned or patrolled and do not employ electronic security, specifically video, due to a lack of network bandwidth for monitoring at the SOC.
Nevertheless, the enterprises are required to pay the high costs associated with uniformed guards at multiple locations.
Installing electronic security & IT equipment at remote facilities with large perimeters requires a solution with high reliability, minimal demands for network capacity, and a low maintenance requirement.
Electronic security solutions must be completely scalable and fully interoperable to efficiently support the enterprise security environment and the variety of different systems installed at different locations while also providing reliable communications of security breaches over low-bandwidth channels.
The SightLogix powerful edge architecture delivers the entire solution instantly from the camera without the need for high bandwidth networks that has hampered remote, real time video surveillance solutions in the past.
Cameras, functioning as intrusion detection sensors, can be configured to only transmit when a security breach has occurred, making low-cost wireless (cellular, 802.x, etc) a practical option, eliminating the need for costly and often impractical infrastructure.
The SightLogix video and alarm data can be instantly transmitted to the first responder dispatched to the scene to provide complete awareness of the security situation on site.
The SightLogix SightSensor can make use of any form of existing wired or wireless communications systems.
Since SightLogix cameras are completely scalable, additional perimeter security can be added as budgets become available without any changes to the SOC equipment suite.
