May 9, 2005—The Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport) has selected VistaScape’s SiteIQ surveillance platform to protect Logan International Airport and Massport maritime properties located in and around Boston Harbor, the company announced.
The announcement follows a successful pilot project conducted at Logan Airport in May 2003.
SiteIQ is a software platform that provides a single, graphical display for monitoring activity across an entire area, based on input from surveillance cameras and other sensors. Rather than relying on guards to monitor multiple video displays,
SiteIQ uses geoenhanced video analytics to plot detected activity in real time on a 3-D world model. SiteIQ detects, tracks, and classifies objects onscreen and, if a security rule is violated, automatically alerts authorities with audible alarms and live video of the event.
Massport selected ADT Security Services’ Federal Systems Division, a unit of Tyco Fire & Security based in Boca Raton, Fla., as the prime contractor and systems integrator, responsible for installing the SiteIQ software, surveillance cameras, and other security infrastructure.
