Sunnyvale, CA (Business Wire) – October 21, 2008 – Proximex, developers of award-winning solutions for the physical security information management (PSIM) market, announced today that Proximex Surveillint was chosen by Stephen S. Wise Temple to help protect its campuses, students, faculty and congregants. The project includes integrating nearly 100 cameras located throughout four schools on three campuses and using Proximex Surveillint to centrally manage multiple video, access control, video analytics and intrusion detection systems.

Stephen S. Wise Temple supports more than 1,700 nursery school through 12th grade students and 650 faculty and administrative staff. The temple has always taken security seriously and increased its security policies and procedures after 9/11.
