LENSEC

The El Paso Independent School District (EPISD) has selected Lensec, the Houston-based provider of IP-based video surveillance solutions, to provide a district-wide IP video surveillance solution for EPISD’s network of middle and high school campuses. With more than 63,000 students on 92 campuses, EPISD is the seventh largest district in Texas and the 57th largest district in the U.S. School officials said a key factor in the selection process was the quick emergency response capability of LenSec’s network video surveillance which is expected to provide a substantial, positive impact on safety concerns. The new system also has the ability to archive and document incidents for the accurate execution of both administrative and police procedures.


Orsus, of Birmingham, UK, has won a multimillion dollar contract to provide and install its Situator security and safety situation management software at Transnet Freight Rail, one of the largest international rail operators based in South Africa focusing on carrying freight, containers and passengers throughout the country.
