Jupiter, FL – March 8, 2009:
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences successfully deployed PockeTracker from Vision Database Systems at their annual Academy Awards event held Sunday, February 22, in Hollywood, and IDSuperShop has provided similar applications for other clients in the entertainment industry in Los Angeles and Hollywood as well!
PockeTracker is a handheld device and ID card reader with exclusive software, which allows immediate authentication of any secure ID card credential. Among its numerous functions PockeTracker allows the immediate on-the-spot checking of cardholders, authenticating the individual’s information to verify they are the rightful cardholder. The PockeTracker features a simple display that grants or denies entry with an easy to recognize red or green screen.
PockeTracker was chosen by the Academy for three reasons: its ability to read highly secure ID card credentials, its fast and accurate integration with existing access control systems and its mobility allowing for the creation of checkpoints. For this particular event security staff members were able to be trained within minutes on the use of the PockeTracker device.
“We are extremely grateful to Vision Database Systems for sending their team out and we were impressed with their unique ability to interface with our system. We look forward to utilizing this technology in the future to secure areas within areas,” stated Ric Robertson, Executive Administrator of the Academy. Vision Database Systems plans to use its expertise to work closely with Academy credential and security personnel. ”Although we have deployed our PockeTrackers for less secure venues like college football games, construction site worker access, or for VIP access at the Staples Center, we are gratified that our product worked so well for a highly secure venue like the Oscars to solve that last .1% exposure that keeps security managers concerned” declared Emil Bonaduce, President of Vision Database Systems.
Because of PockeTracker’s easy integration with existing ID card printer systems it is quickly becoming the top choice for secure people tracking. In addition to access control the PockeTracker can track simple attendance or be used for paperless ticketing. It contains a mustering feature which allows the quick identification of who is or isn’t in a building, bus, or any other location. It can also tally points for loyalty apps. The program can be configured to provide proper security and tracking to a wide array of markets and fits perfectly for the needs of the event management community, from small events to large-scale secure events, such as the Oscars.
