YAHUD, Israel, April 28, 2010 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Magal
Security Systems, Ltd. (NASDAQ GM: MAGS;) announced today that it
is in the final stages of implementation with two safe city
projects in Savyon and Nazareth, Israel. Both projects provide integration of
multiple security products and systems including cameras, emergency
buttons, and locating systems.
In Savyon, the focus of the project is on the safety of children
in schools and daycare centers. An important element of the
solution is a truck-mounted mobile surveillance kit which
constantly transmits video into the central Command & Control
center.
In Nazareth, the security system provides first responders with
the tools for critical event management in shopping malls, schools,
parks and other sensitive sites. The unique advantage of the system
is the ability to incorporate a sophisticated and scheduled Video
Motion Detection (VMD) technology for PTZ cameras that points to
different areas of interest during different times of the day and
night.
In both cases, all elements of the security system are
integrated into a single real-time Command and Control system
(Magal's Fortis). Security personnel are supported by a
user-friendly GUI, which includes check lists, sensor displays and
a situation awareness map. Multiple sensors and data sources rely
on a wide band wireless network and GIS (Geographical Information
System) engine, which synchronizes all events into a single
cohesive information system. Events are logged and automatically
communicated by email and text messages to security personnel.
Eitan Livneh, President and CEO
of Magal S3, commented: "These new projects are added to a list of
more than 25 cities in Israel that
Magal S3 is protecting through advanced technology. In all cases,
these comprehensive security solutions have contributed
significantly to a reduction in crime and vandalism."
"Magal is building a strong position in the safe city market
segment globally. In Latin
America, we are aggregating data from distinct security
applications across disperse sites, into a single nationwide
homeland security site."
He adds: "Safe City security represents a growth opportunity for
Magal S3 in the coming years."
