LONDON, March 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Frost & Sullivan's 2005/2006 Excellence in Technology Award in the field of homeland aviation security is conferred on Israel-based NICE Systems Ltd. In presenting this award, Frost & Sullivan commends the suite of advanced, innovative airport video surveillance systems developed by the company's digital video security solutions division - NiceVision.

"NiceVision's complete portfolio of video surveillance solutions includes transmission/networking, recording equipment, management, and analytical tools," notes Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst Haritha Ramachandran. "These pioneering, industry-leading product and technology solutions enable efficient movement of airport passenger traffic while enhancing passenger security-a key safeguard in today's terrorism prone environment-and have been widely deployed across airports across the NA, EMEA and APAC regions."

The company's systems are designed to provide end-to-end Internet protocol (IP)-based solutions for monitoring as well as recording digital video in large, complex sites such as airports. Video analytics tools enable the analysis of information monitored or recorded at any point of time-a feature particularly useful both in real-time monitoring for detecting suspicious events as well as in facilitating rapid post-event investigation.

"The video analytics software is capable of identifying range from intrusion detection, illegally parked vehicles, overcrowding of check-in line, and abnormal behaviour such as people running, moving in the wrong direction, or loitering," explains Ms. Ramachandran. "The solution is designed to not only identify events in real time but to also filter out events from existing recordings for optimal post-event analysis."

The company's security officer-centric video surveillance solution is unique. The system has been conceptualised from the security officer's point of view, with processes and tools being developed to enable the security officer to focus on assessing risks and making decisions rather than just trying to detect events.

NiceVision's solutions also have the ability to aid the security officer to identify whether the event is a true or false event, through instant replay of a suspicious event right from its start. This obviates the tremendous costs incurred due to disruptions triggered by security threats.

Frost & Sullivan's Excellence in Technology Award is bestowed upon a company that has introduced an innovative technology into the market, that is expected to bring significant contributions to the industry in terms of adoption, change, and competitive posture.

Frost & Sullivan Best Practices Awards recognise companies in a variety of regional and global markets for demonstrating outstanding achievement and superior performance in areas such as leadership, technological innovation, customer service, and strategic product development. Industry analysts compare market participants and measure performance through in-depth interviews, analysis, and extensive secondary research in order to identify best practices in the industry.
