Ra'anana, Israel - Nov 12, 2003 NICE Systems said Tuesday that the European Space Agency has chosen the NiceVision Pro smart video management solution over other high-end systems to protect its sites' perimeters and highly secured areas, in a deal valued at over $1 million. The system will monitor, record and analyze data from several hundred cameras installed throughout ESA's headquarters in France and other sites in Italy, Germany and the Netherlands. Key factors in ESA's decision were: NiceVision's advanced content analysis applications, lowest total cost of ownership (TCO), superior video quality, storage architecture, and seamless integration with access control systems. NiceVision's content analysis applications will be used to protect ESA from intrusion by analyzing video in real-time, detecting intruder threats and automatically alerting security officers to unauthorized entry. It will also be used in high protection areas to count people and to verify authorized vehicles. NiceVision's high channel capacity and sophisticated video compression will enable ESA to significantly save on space, energy, infrastructure and maintenance. Dr Philippe Schallier, site security and risk management coordinator for ESA, said, "Over the last two years, the European Space Agency has taken active steps to ensure that stringent security is in place across all its sites. As part of this process, we decided to enhance our video security operation, which is critical for protecting our satellites and research and development facilities. "After a lengthy review process of the market's offerings by internal experts and external consultants, we decided that NICE's solution best meets our needs. NiceVision offers highly advanced, real-time video recording with industrial-grade content analytics which we can rely on, and, at the same time, saves us between 25 to 30 percent in total cost of ownership, compared to other systems we considered." Doron Eidelman, corporate executive VP and president of NiceVision, said, "We are very pleased to have won this flagship European contract which demonstrates the market's enthusiasm for our content analysis applications. We believe that ESA's choice clearly shows that NiceVision provides the most powerful and cost-effective digital video security solution."
