ISS (Intelligent Security Systems), a pioneering global provider of video intelligence and data awareness solutions, announced that its SecurOS® UVSS (Under Vehicle Surveillance System) was recently deployed as part of security preparations for the College Football Playoff (CFP) National Championship between the Michigan Wolverines and Washington Huskies, which took place earlier this month at NRG Stadium in Houston.
Prior to the game, ISS, in partnership with systems integrator Unlimited Technology, worked with officials from NRG Stadium and stadium management firm ASM Global to install the UVSS at a designated arrival entrance for the respective football teams and other dignitaries where it was used to screen the undercarriage of approximately 140 vehicles for a wide range of vehicle-borne threats.

Among the vehicles screened included a mix of buses, sedans, trucks, and vans. Each vehicle also had its licence plate simultaneously read by SecurOS® Auto, ISS’s renowned licence plate recognition (LPR) software that can perform colour, class, make and model recognition, to provide a complete profile of every automobile entering the venue.
“ISS’s undercarriage technology enhances security by removing the human factor from the screening process and increasing visual accuracy,” said Ellis D. Stafford, Safety & Security Director for NRG Park.
