The project is part of Beijing's massive campaign to upgrade its subway system's security network in preparation for the 2008 Olympics.
All Beijing Metro stations connected to the security system will be monitored from the station monitoring room and from the central command and control center, giving security personnel the power to identify risk, make optimal decisions, and take action that improves security.
NICE's advanced real-time distributed digital video solution will spot suspicious packages left behind on a crowded subway platform and automatically alert security personnel. The solution will also be utilized to automatically detect unauthorized entry into secured areas.
NICE Systems (Nasdaq: NICE; TASE: NICE) announced that it has been selected by Beijing Metro to supply its next generation security solutions to help enhance the safety and security at more than 20 stations of the city's subway system.
