 AMAG
Technology's Symmetry Security Management Systems offer intelligent networked solutions
scaled to manage
access control
and
video management
challenges from small, remote
facilities to multi-national organizations positioned
around the world. The Symmetry Product Portfolio promotes growth as a system evolves,
and provides organizations with a complete
integrated
approach to securing their buildings. The open architecture standard
ensures interoperability with a wide range of peripherals and information sharing
with other systems.
Symmetry Video
is an open video management platform for video servers, digital video recorders
and IP cameras.
Symmetry ENVS® (Edge Network Video Server) sits
at the edge of the LAN/WAN and stores and forwards activity on demand allowing for
archiving to take place at off-peak times. This reduces stress on the network by
decreasing the amount of bandwidth required during peak operating times.

 Corporate Brochure
Relieve Water Worries
 Water utilities are considered
a high risk target for terrorist attacks and pose a unique set of security challenges.
An effective security approach for water treatment plants includes a system to deter,
detect, delay, and respond to a threat prior to the adversary achieving its objective.
Any weakness poses a serious threat that could affect drinking water for thousands
of people.
Benchmark measures for a recommended security system to deter a threat or detect
and delay the threat until the appropriate response force arrives include:
- Intrusion detection at perimeter
- Access control entrance gate
- Intrusion detection for area between perimeter and facilities
- Access control, intrusion and video surveillance at gates, transformers, generators,
chemical storage, roof, entrance doors, lobby mantrap
- Interior motion detection
- Video monitoring at all facility exterior doors, perimeter, hatches, vaults, gates,
protected areas
Chlorine bombs are becoming a high-profile weapon of choice for terrorists abroad.
Officials at the Department of Homeland Security fear that terrorists might try
to copy the tactic, making chlorine tanks at water plants, which range from 150-
pound cylinders to 90-ton rail tankers, an obvious target for sabotage or theft.
Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff has urged water authorities to budget
for necessary physical security measures needed to ensure that chemicals used at
water treatment sites are not stolen and used to create improvised explosive devices.
A Symmetry Security Management System would deter and detect threats and help prevent
theft.
AMAG understands the sensitive and complex issues involved in securing utility facilities
– both local and major. We work closely with you to understand your specific needs,
and adapt our security management system so it can manage all aspects of your facility.
