Chemical Threat Prevention for Euro 2012:

Bertin Technologies' Second-Sight Stand-off

Cameras Chosen by Polish Fire Brigade

/PRNewswire/ --

As part of the surveillance for the European Nations Championship 2012, which

will take place in

Poland

in June, the Polish Fire Brigade has chosen Second-

Sight cameras from Bertin Technologies (

France

) to control chemical risks for

this international event.

At events like this, it is essential to install solutions for monitoring and detecting

biological and chemical threats in order to ensure the safety of the participants

(

players, spectators, VIP guests, etc.

).

The cameras will be installed directly in stadiums in order to monitor and warn

in real time of any gas leak (accidental or terrorist in nature). The Second-Sight

technology allows real-time viewing and identification of the gas cloud and its

movement. As soon as a leak is detected, the various security response teams

can take action, limit the spread of the gas and take adequate measures for

the safety and security of the civilians concerned.

Second-Sight technology is the result of more than ten years of R&D self-

financed by Bertin Technologies, a French company. Other supply contracts

have also been won with this technology, in

France

,

China

and the

USA

.

This order comes in the wake of an international call for tenders that was won

by Bertin Technologies; other companies offering more traditional solutions

were also in the running, but the Polish authorities made their decision based

on the innovativeness and effectiveness of the Second-Sight technology as well

as the simplicity of its implementation and use of cameras at sites such as

sports stadiums.
