Case Study: National Institute of Corrections strengthens prison security with Salient Systems video surveillance

National Institute of Corrections secures 2,000-bed facilities with Salient Systems

The National Institute of Corrections, a U.S. government agency overseeing correctional facilities, faced significant security challenges unique to the prison environment. These included inmate violence, contraband smuggling via drones, and the constant need to monitor a large population with limited staff, all while operating with aging analog video systems. To address these issues, they partnered with Salient Systems to implement a modern video surveillance solution, including the CompleteView VMS.

Salient Systems provided an IP-based video management system that offered increased coverage, superior video clarity, and advanced features like inmate tracking, video analytics, and mobile access for officers via TouchView Mobile. This solution enabled the facilities to maintain a comprehensive audit trail for forensic evidence and enhance overall safety and security. The implementation by Salient provided a superior return on investment by eliminating the need for third-party encoding hardware and delivering a cost-effective, critical security tool for the corrections industry.
