Pelco by Schneider Electric recently announced that its VideoXpert video management system is now integrated with iTrak, the latest incident management solution from iView Systems. “The iTrak plugin continues our effort to work with other leaders in the industry to provide Pelco customers seamless access to the ready-made solutions to better understand and protect their organisations” said Jonathan Lewit, Director of Business Application at Pelco by Schneider Electric. Integration links incidents with supporting video Ideal for multi-site, multi-departmental solutions, iTrak provides users with a centralised platform for incident and risk management. Its intuitive design makes it easy to access comprehensive reporting, profiling, interview management, risk analysis and subject profiling information. With the integration to VideoXpert, users will not only be able to see all related incident data via a single report, they can now link these incidents with supporting video. The Incident File feature captures critical incident data including location, sub-location, date and time as well as a short description of the incident. The added ability to include supporting attachments in the form of a Narrative or Media file to the Incident, allow for quick information retrieval. Narrative files provide flexibility to include free-form text, critical in instances when collecting witness accounts or documenting incident notes, while the media attachments enable to user to include pictures or PDF files for more thorough event investigations. “Ease-of-use and integration of video with critical business data are cornerstones of the VideoXpert platform. The integration with iView is a prime example of our commitment to providing users with extensible functionality through partner integration.” added Lewit. “The seamless integration of iView Systems iTrak® with the Pelco VideoXpert Ops center provides an instant and efficient method of converging Incident related information with its associated Video data”, stated Martin Drew, President / CEO, iView Systems. “Users will also be able to leverage the tagging capability to identify video from cameras associated with iTrak’s incident location classifications. The overall integration will provide significant improvements in overall operational efficiency and accuracy of reporting” says Drew. Pelco customers can access additional iView integration details on the Partner First website. Pelco’s Partner First program marks a new level of openness and commitment to identify and bring to market additional features, capabilities and solutions through development of strategic partnerships.

AlliedBarton hosted the event in collaboration with Asvaco, iView Systems and Tyco Integrated Systems AlliedBarton Security Services, the industry's premier provider of highly trained security personnel, and HR Plus, a leading provider of comprehensive solutions for employment and background screening, hosted a free workplace violence prevention seminar. In partnership with Asvaco, iView Systems and Tyco Integrated Systems, the seminar took place on Wednesday, March 13, 2013, at 8:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. at the Hilton Woodbridge, 120 Wood Ave S, in Iselin, NJ. Steven M. Crimando, MA, BCETS, CHS-V, Principal, Behavioural Science Applications, was the keynote speaker. He was joined by Bradford L. Cole, CFE, Private Investigator and Certified Fraud Examiner, and his therapy dog Spartacus. Crimando and Cole will discuss workplace violence prevention topics including: The Definition, Scope and Prevalence of the Problem: The Expanded Typology Evolving Standards and Practices in Violence Prevention The Mind of the Shooter: Precipitants of Extreme Violence Pre-incident Indicators and Warning Behaviours Developing Effective Policies, Plans, Procedures and Exercises "The extreme violence we see in mass shootings and active shooter incidents is never a result of someone just snapping," says Crimando. "These are smoldering crises, not sudden crises. We have done a nice job of spreading the message of run, hide or fight to help people survive these brutal attacks, but information about pre-incident warning behaviours and post-incident victim support has not been as widely shared. That will be important and necessary to preventing, not simply responding to, the next active shooter situation." "Post-event management preparation greatly impacts the success of grief and trauma counseling for the survivors, co-workers and families," said Cole. "The use of qualified therapy dogs, such as Disaster Stress Relief Dogs or Crisis Intervention Canines, to facilitate the counseling and healing process is one part of a multi-disciplinary recovery plan. The common ground the dogs provide helps establish a bond between all parties and allows the victims to decompress while sharing the aid and comfort of the dog. Spartacus assisted counselors after the Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy." Seminar attendees got a chance to win a copy of "Potential: Workplace Violence Prevention and Your Organisational Success" by Bill Whitmore, President and CEO, AlliedBarton. Potential, www.potentialthebook.com, shows how a range of stakeholders -- from CEOs and other senior leaders to building management, human resources, contract security and law enforcement -- can work together to lower an organisation's workplace violence risk and enhance its overall morale and performance.
