City of San Diego Public Utilities Department has implemented Nice Systems situation management platform and IP video surveillance system to help secure its water supply, following an order placed in 2012. San Diego is California's second largest city and the eighth largest in the U.S., with 1.3 million residents. The city's Public Utilities Department oversees one of the largest and most complex water storage, treatment, and delivery systems in the country.
The integrated portfolio will enable efficient and centralized monitoring of 64 facilities operated by the department, including administration buildings, laboratories, pump stations and filtration plants, as well as other sites that require security management, such as reservoirs and dams.
The first phase of the project focuses on integrating the VMS and access control, with additional sensor integration planned for future phases. The solution will enable the city to consolidate subsystems and sensors across sites, correlate that information, automate effective response plans, and provide insights to various stakeholders. Using the situation management platform and IP video surveillance system, the city will be able to bolster its critical infrastructure security based on a high standard of security management.
"We are honored that the City of San Diego has chosen our solutions to protect its water supply systems, which are pivotal to the City's daily operations and to the safety and well-being of its residents,” said Yaron Tchwella, President of the Security Group at Nice Systems.
