Hauppauge, NY (November 2, 2009): Vicon Industries Inc., a leading designer and producer of integrated IP video surveillance and access control systems, has been awarded the contract to upgrade and expand the video surveillance system protecting Summit View Correctional Facility in North Las Vegas, Nevada. This maximum security residential facility for juvenile offenders, ages 12-18, provides housing, education, vocational training, mental health treatment and medical services for up to 96 residents.
The new NVR-based ViconNet video management system provides security 24/7 for residents and staff via a network of analog and IP cameras strategically located throughout the facility. Workstations, combined with Vicon’s Virtual Matrix Controller and VN-VIEWER-64 software, allow system operators to view live and recorded video from up to 64 cameras simultaneously displayed across multiple monitors. Recorded video is stored on highly-secure RAID devices. Analog cameras that were in place prior to the installation have been integrated into the new ViconNet system through the use of Vicon’s KTX-4 video encoders.
The Summit View Correctional Facility falls within the jurisdiction of the Child and Family Services Division of Nevada’s Department of Health and Human Services.
