Sinaloa Government Chooses Valerus for Its
Multi-City Network
Vicon Industries, Inc. (VII: NYSE-American) (“Vicon”), designer
and manufacturer of video surveillance and access control software,
hardware and components, announced today that it is working closely
with the State of Sinaloa, Mexico to create a statewide
surveillance network that unifies the systems of all of its
metropolitan areas, including the cities of Culiacan, Mazatlan, Los
Mochis and others. The new statewide initiative, built upon Valerus
VMS software, will allow for greater coordination between all
municipalities and their law enforcement agencies in their
efforts to combat the influence of powerful drug cartels entrenched
within the region. Valerus’ 100% web-based and true open standards
VMS software will provide the state with a more secure, responsive
environment capable of providing a single-seat view of its entire
security domain.
A new, state-of-the-art facility in Culiacan, the state’s
capital, serves as a centralized coordination hub for security and
life-safety operations at the city, municipal and state levels.
Expansive video walls, recording servers and monitoring stations
provide operators with access to all cameras within their
respective domains, with the ability to share video across
departments as necessary. There are currently over 1000 Vicon
security cameras in Culiacan, along with 800 special license plate
reading cameras custom developed by Vicon for this project.
Ultimately, there will be approximately 4800 cameras in Culiacan
alone, with thousands more across the other cities.
M.C. Jose de Jesus Galvez, the state’s Secretary of Innovation
and close aide to the Governor, says that Vicon’s Valerus is able
to provide a centralized system, with localized control and
operation, which is flexible enough to work with much of the
equipment already in place in each city. Plus, the cost to purchase
and install Valerus was less than for other video management
systems, providing long-term, recurring savings that he will then
be able to invest in additional equipment and system expansion over
time.
Maria Bustamante-Prada, Vicon’s International Sales Manager,
explains, “Vicon has successfully supported the city of Culiacan’s
security needs for many years, and our proven commitment to
customer satisfaction was an important factor in earning the
confidence of the state. This is a huge investment for them, and
they know that we will be there to support them at every step.”
“This is a very ambitious project for us,” says M.C. Galvez. “We
hope to use every function of Valerus to help lower the crime rate
and better protect the citizens of Sinaloa. We understand that
video isn’t the only way we will achieve this, but it’s a very
important part and can help us bring other systems together to be
more effective. We’re excited about the possibilities.”
