Convergint Technologies and BriefCam boost security and efficiency at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport

SCHAUMBURG, Illinois and WEST HARTFORD, Connecticut, Oct. 17, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Convergint Technologies, a worldwide leader in service-based systems integration, and BriefCam, the Video Synopsis® company, today announced that Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (ABIA) has expanded its use ofBriefCam Syndex®, doubling the amount of licenses to further increase security and operational productivity across the airport.

Convergint has overseen the migration of ABIA to a unified access control platform based on Genetec Security Center with BriefCam Syndex® embedded. Using BriefCam's technology, ABIA can rapidly review, analyze and investigate large amounts of video data for maximizing security, while using the same data to get better insights into operational activities.

Tony Varco, Vice President of Security for Convergint Technologies, said, "Our companies' long-standing partnership has deepened as Video Synopsis has become more powerful, enabling us to meet customer needs not only for security, but for transportation, safe cities and enterprises."

Amit Gavish, General Manager, BriefCam North America said, "ABIA is a busy airport, providing service to 15 airlines and 48 destinations, alongside managing business, retail, ground transportation, parking and many other functions. BriefCam Syndex enables leveraging the huge amounts of already-available video data to expand its value beyond security, allowing the airport to easily control and optimize operations where needed."

According to ABIA Telecommunications Supervisor Bryan Moore: "Using the Access Control System unified with Genetec Security Center, as well as BriefCam, can protect people and keep them where they need to be within our airport. So if you were to receive an alarm, it would automatically populate that camera in that location with Genetec Security Center. And within that, you can also use BriefCam technology, be able to slim it down, save time and keep people safe."

Total Recall Corporation, a Convergint Technologies company, will showcase BriefCam at the Annual International Association of Chiefs of Police Conference (IACP), October 16-18 2016, in Booth #3251 at the San Diego Convention Center in California.
