day-to-day operations that the software has helped us improve
services in the city, addressing and solving many issues with a
quick turnaround.”
Surveillance for the city includes an aquatics center (16 cameras), a training facility (four cameras), public works building (18
cameras) and water treatment plant (13 cameras). All are monitored for the general safety of those working and visiting, and the
protection of publicly owned equipment.
Employees across the city have access to the system, but Lovejoy can easily restrict access to only see cameras linked to their
facilities, thanks to solution’s beneficial use of Microsoft’s Active
Directory for user management.
“Eventually, anywhere we had analog cameras, we’re going to
design the system to be completely reliant on Milestone through
the newly installed digital solution,” said Lovejoy. “The growth
potential of our system is only limited by our ability to get budget
approval on the latest hardware additions.”
VIDEO IS A USEFUL TOOL TO MANAGE INFRASTRUCTURE
AND OPERATIONS
The solution works to assist the administrators as they protect
the public, fight fires, manage operations and infrastructure—
whatever the needs of each municipality may be. Video is a useful tool in each person’s busy job, and ease of use is vital. The
system’s intuitiveness ensures time-efficient monitoring.
As each municipality grows and expands its coverage, Pro-Tec
and its customers are able to grow with the networked video solution, which addresses individual system and user needs, from
management to anyone who shares the system’s functionality.
The open platform technology allows each city and its many departments to use the camera or server they find the most costeffective or efficient; unlimited options are available for ongoing
applications in the Ring of Protection.
“We see cooperation between all of the agencies involved, not in
a sense that they have to bolt everything together, but we’re providing the open platform framework where we can flip a switch to
connect the entire area if necessary,” Ferrian said.

Giant Gray, Inc., developers of innovative multi-sensor, artificial cognitive neurolinguistics software that provides enhanced
safety, security and operational efficiency to businesses and
government agencies across complex, large physical environments, announced today that it is bringing its new products to
market under the Giant Gray brand.
As a new brand, Giant Gray builds upon more than 10 years
of innovative research and development in artificial cognitive
neurolinguistics technology that began as Behavioral Recognition Systems, Inc./BRS Labs in Houston. Giant Gray’s patented, adaptive and selflearning algorithms “see” anomalies
often hidden in oceans of data, bringing to light actionable insights for operators, data analysts, security professionals and
other end-users, helping them dramatically improve business
operational awareness and incident response – as well as prevent costly interruptions and breakdowns. At the heart of Giant
Gray’s technology is its Graydient platform, with applications in
industrial (Graydient-S for SCADA/ICS), physical security and
surveillance (Graydient-V for Video Analytics), cyber security
environments (Graydient-C for Cyber Security), and forensics
(Graydient-F for SCADA Forensic historical data analysis).
Giant Gray is headquartered in Houston, with a
regionalized sales and
