hardware — which host the Milestone VMS and play a pivotal role in capturing video from more than160 Megapixel cameras. Pivot3's patented application failover and enhanced RAID protection ensure video data is protected and available when needed. In addition to on-site recording at a remote off-site location, the Park Service enabled redundant recording on Liberty Island. In cases of a particular security event, video can be stored separately for an extended period of time. Storage capability is very flexible and can be easily expanded as security parameters change. Attention: Security system in use The new system is used for the day-to-day safety and security of the Park's visitors while also helping monitor traffic flow, expand people management capabilities, assist ferry service operation, reconnect parents with misplaced children, verify theft, loss or accident claims and effectively respond to medical emergencies. The ultimate goal: to keep the visitor experience enjoyable while at the same time being able to respond optimally to incidents or emergencies. Screening begins at Battery Park, before visitors board the ferry to Liberty Island, with an airport security-style setup comprising 17 lanes of entry. March 3 & 4 Axis' IP surveillance cameras provide an additional layer of security and also record visitors' items when they are entering and exiting the machines. This footage can be used, if necessary, for claims verification. Additional cameras are visible as well as at the Ellis Island security checkpoint and on Liberty Island in publicly accessible areas, including outside and inside the pedestal. Future plans include deploying video analytics with specific cameras to detect license plates of employee, contractor and service vehicles. ❚ C a p t a i n G re g o r y N o r m a n i s t h e Commander of Liberty District, National Park Service.
