ADT to Design and Install Video Intrusion Detection System at Boston's Logan
International Airport
BOCA RATON, Fla., May 3 /PRNewswire/ -- ADT Security Services Inc., a unit
of Tyco Fire & Security, today announced it was awarded the contract to
provide a video intrusion detection and reporting system at Boston's Logan
International Airport and other properties operated by the Massachusetts Port
Authority (Massport). The system will help monitor Massport's waterfront
perimeter.
The contract calls for the installation of sensor devices to detect
perimeter movement, automated surveillance software from Atlanta-based
VistaScape Security Systems, a wireless network and continuing system
maintenance. Work on the project will begin immediately.
"We were looking for a security solution that could seamlessly integrate
the best of the proven security products on the market into one comprehensive
system," said Dennis Treece, director of corporate security for the
Massachusetts Port Authority, which operates Logan International. "We were
happy to select ADT and VistaScape to meet this challenge."
The system to be installed by ADT is capable of detecting intruders at
night and during poor weather conditions. The detection devices will be
integrated with VistaScape's SiteIQ(TM) automated surveillance software, which
will automatically trigger an audible alarm when violations of security rules,
such as movement in restricted areas, are detected. The automated surveillance
software provides full-time monitoring of incoming video signals, improving
the performance of on-site security personnel and permitting them to extend
their coverage to other areas of concern.
The completed system will also feature a wireless network that can give
Massport security staff firewalled, secure command and control capabilities
through a wireless, Web-enabled remote management system.
Paul Brisgone, director of National Government Sales for ADT's Federal
Systems Division, said that before beginning field work at Logan, ADT created
a working model of the system in a laboratory environment to minimize
complications encountered on-site to help find solutions prior to
installation.
"ADT was able to provide a low-risk, proven solution that incorporated the
best security products currently available," Brisgone said.
Joining ADT on the project team as on-site project manager will be another
Tyco International unit, Earth Tech Inc. Previously, ADT and Earth Tech
teamed up to design and install a $4.75 million maritime security enhancement
project at the Port of Oakland.
Currently, ADT, through its Federal Systems Division, helps secure 19 of
the top 30 busiest airports in the United States.

sustaining public authority operating facilities that employ more than 20,000
