MELVILLE, N.Y., Sep 17, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) --
VRNT | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Verint(R) Systems Inc., a
leading global provider of analytics software-based solutions for
workforce-enterprise optimization and security, today announced Rio de
Janeiro State Prison Administration's use of the Nextiva(R) IP
Video portfolio from Verint(R) Video Intelligence Solutions(TM).

To help enhance the security of its maximum-security prison complex, as
well as decrease violence and misconduct, various buildings within Rio's
Bangu Penitentiary deployed Nextiva Video Management software and
Nextiva IP cameras. With the technology's live and recorded video,
prison security can centrally monitor the complex, as well as more
effectively support incident investigations.

"With Nextiva, our response time is improved, many security breaches can
be prevented, and order is more efficiently maintained," says Major
Ricardo Alexandre Romar Naldoni, IT superintendent, State of Rio de
Janeiro Prison Administration. Adds Colonel Cesar Monteiro de Carvalho,
secretary, State of Rio de Janeiro Prison Administration, "By quickly
alerting prison personnel to potential threats, Verint networked video
solutions help safeguard prisoners, staff and the public."

To effectively monitor inmate and guard activity in high-risk areas,
Nextiva IP cameras are installed in Bangu's dining and recreation areas,
hallways, corridors and outdoor perimeters. With on-board video
analytics, the technology has helped to increase situational awareness
and enable prison personnel to more efficiently and proactively detect
potential problems. Further, Nextiva IP Video Management software with
fail-over recording has simplified management of the facility's entire
video operation, helping ensure critical video is available when needed.

"We're pleased to provide correctional institutions, such as the State
of Rio de Janeiro Prison Administration, with advanced technology
solutions that support comprehensive approaches to security and
heightened levels of safety for inmates, guards and the public," adds
Elan Moriah, president, Verint Video Intelligence Solutions and Verint(R)
Witness Actionable Solutions(R).
