Hikvision camera system to provide increased security
for Miami Beach Holocaust Memorial
CITY OF INDUSTRY, CA May 2,
2017 A security system provided
by Hikvision, the North American
leader in innovative, award-winning
video surveillance products and solutions,
will help increase security at
the iconic Holocaust Memorial in
Miami Beach, Fla.
Founded 27 years ago by a group
of community leaders, Holocaust
survivors and the children of survivors,
the Memorial is sited on two
acres and features a series of openair
rooms. Volunteers, including
Holocaust survivors, lead tours of
the Memorial’s exhibits and participate
in other educational programs
open to the public.
The Memorial hosts more than
130,000 visitors every year, including
thousands of schoolchildren
and people from around the world.
Professionals and volunteers work
to educate visitors about the time
before and during the Holocaust.
The Memorial also provides a place
for people to reflect and explore
how they feel about what they are
seeing, to think about their role as
citizens and their relationship with
other people, and to discuss anti-
Semitism and intolerance.
Security is challenging in any
open-air venue, and the Memorial’s
previous analog security system was
”extremely outdated,” according to
Brenda Moxley, director of community
security for the Greater Miami
Jewish Federation.
Moxley is the retired FBI Assistant
Special Agent in Charge, Miami Division,
whose background includes
counter-terrorism. Hired by Federation
to provide security consultation
to 120 Jewish organizations
in the Miami-Dade area, Moxley is
working to improve critical security
infrastructure, crisis management
and education.
The Hikvision security camera
system will provide much needed
security improvements at the memorial
and enable Moxley to implement
a coordinated and integrated
security plan.
Jeffrey He, president of Hikvision
USA Inc., and Hikvision Canada
Inc., said Hikvision is pleased to
work with Moxley and the Greater
Miami Jewish Federation. He noted
that China has an important historic
connection with the Jewish
people. “Shanghai, a city one hour
away from Hikvision headquarters
in Hangzhou, China provided a safe
haven for Jewish refugees during
32
the Holocaust,” He said. More than
25,000 Jews came to Shanghai between
the years 1937 and 1941.
“Safeguarding people and protecting
property is why Hikvision is in
the security business,” He added.
