13 Jan 2015

Herta Security won in the category of “best CCTV System of the Year” of the IFSEC Security & Fire Excellence Awards.

IFSEC’s Security & Fire Excellence Awards 2014 are the Oscars of the security industry. Now in their sixteenth edition, the Security Excellence Awards have consistently broken new ground in highlighting the very best people, projects and processes the UK’s security sector has to offer. This year, they received a fantastic number of high-quality entries, so it is an especially great achievement to be a winner!

The Gala Dinner and Awards presentation took place in the London Hilton on Park Lane last 27 November evening with an audience of about 1000 security professionals. Competing against important companies such as Siemens, Panasonic, NICE, Genetec, IDIS, Digital Barriers, Vista, Raytec and VPS UK; Herta Security was awarded the prize for the best CCTV system (excluding cameras and lenses).

BioFinder, the nominated product, is a proven software that makes it possible to search for a specific subject, using facial recognition, in a pool of recorded videos. It processes images or videos at a high speed by working with GPU architectures. BioFinder applications are focused mainly on forensic analysis or the classification of information, being particularly useful in police environments and searches for suspects.

Herta would like to congratulate all the winners of IFSEC Security & Fire Excellence Awards 2014.
