Nuclear Power Plant: NextEra Energy (Duane Arnold Energy Center)
HiRSA™ Case Study
Project
Persistent Sentinel was contracted to provide an integrated security and surveillance solution for NextEra Energy’s nuclear power plant in Palo, Iowa. Persistent Sentinel put together a team to provide NextEra Energy with a fully integrated solution that provides their security team with 24/7 security and surveillance operations.
Solution
The Duane Arnold Energy Center security and surveillance system utilizes Persistent Sentinel’s HiRSA™ command and control software to integrate all sensors and systems into a single near real-time security solution.
UNIQUENESS OF HiRSA
- HiRSA is an open architected command and control system that takes sensor input from multiple sensor types.
- HiRSA provides video management tools for viewing, recording and replaying video through the integrated Network Video Recorder (NVR).
- HiRSA integrates with other vendors to provide continuous automated video analytics that monitors camera feeds.
- Motion detection events trigger alerts to the user automatically opening the camera with detected motion, automatically triggering video recording, and if configured automatically slewing other PTZ cameras to motion location.
