IndigoVision opens up with SMS4™ release 5 and Camera Gateway™

IndigoVision, leading manufacturer of IP video security solutions, has established itself as one of the most open surveillance systems on the market with the latest release of its SMS4™ software. SMS4™ release 5 includes Camera Gateway™, which allows IP cameras from top manufacturers to be integrated into the IndigoVision SMS4™ system, making it easy to upgrade a client’s existing IP-CCTV system to a quality IndigoVision solution. Camera Gateway™ enables cameras from a range of other manufacturers to be connected to an IndigoVision SMS4™ system using their native protocols and enables users to view the cameras in IndigoVision’s Control Center. The cameras can be controlled, viewed and recorded in the same way as IndigoVision cameras. Camera Gateway™ also supports PTZ control, bookmarking and record-on-motion. Camera Gateway™ is a software service that can be installed on a Windows based server, giving customers total flexibility.  The service enables multiple clients to stream and view video from the same camera. Marcus Kneen, IndigoVision CEO, stated: “Camera Gateway™ is a game-changing product making IndigoVision SMS4™ the open system of choice. Combined with our conformance to the ONVIF standard, and our integration with other software, SMS4™ release 5 establishes IndigoVision as one of the most open IP security solutions on the market.” SMS4™release 5 also includes record-on-motion and bookmarking for IndigoVision’s own cameras and those of supported manufacturers. Record-on-motion allows users to reduce storage by configuring the system to record video only when there is activity, while bookmarking video footage makes it easier to find and review key evidence. Users can upgrade to SMS4™ release 5 through IndigoVision’s Software Upgrade Program (SUP).

IP Video integrated analytics suite showcased
IP Video integrated analytics suite showcased

IndigoVision’s analytics algorithms run both in real-time on live video and also on recorded video using ‘Control Center’, IndigoVision’s enterprise video and alarm management software.  Real time analytics are located at the edge of the network, i.e. at the camera, making the solution totally scalable.   CCTV operators can now detect events as they happen such as congestion, stolen objects, cars parked too long outside a building, people moving the wrong way through security checkpoints, etc.  Live demonstrations of the new advanced analytics suite will be available throughout the Security ESSEN show. IndigoVision’s new analytics include: Congestion Detection Motion DetectionAbandoned Object DetectionCounter FlowVirtual TripwireShape-Based DetectionObject Tracking and Theft DetectionAll of these can be run in real-time at the camera or post-event on recorded video.  Real time analytics run in the 8000 Transmitters connected to analogue cameras and in IndigoVision’s dedicated high-end IP domes.  This significantly reduces bandwidth requirements on the network and ensures the system is totally scalable.  Pre-determined events are identified as they happen, at any camera, and can drive the virtual matrix, e.g. display a salvo on a bank of monitors.  Real-time analytics lead to increased effectiveness and improvements in incident detection hit rates.  Using ‘Control Center’ software, recorded footage stored on IndigoVision’s networked video recorders (NVRs) can be analysed using the same algorithms.  Post processing allows operators to run many different scenarios on recorded video, e.g. look for cars parked for a certain time.

Cathexis launches powerful but uncomplicated CatVision IP VMS and offers free trial download
Cathexis launches powerful but uncomplicated CatVision IP VMS and offers free trial download

IFSEC 2013 will see the debut of Cathexis' new CatVision VMS suite - a powerful new IP video management system which offers the ultimate in simplicity for installers, integrators and end users alike. At IFSEC Cathexis is offering visitors the chance to download a free trial version from their website to try it for themselves. CatVision is a sophisticated and very easily configured video management software solution. It benefits from Cathexis' 18 years of experience in supplying high-end analogue systems, and builds on an in-depth understanding of the needs of installers to deliver a cutting edge suite of digital technology, well adapted to today's IP based security demands. Cathexis sales director, Mark Ross, says: “We are acutely aware of the challenges facing IP systems installation engineers, so in designing CatVision our primary requirement was to make it extremely easy to load, configure and commission. IP surveillance systems can have hundreds or thousands of cameras, and multiple recording parameters, so Cathexis has introduced a Wizard process - similar to what you'll find on your PC - that takes the engineer through the entire set-up process step by step. Multiple cameras can be added with just a few clicks. The recording configuration process is equally simple, incorporating a 'cut and paste' option to set up multiple identical events, rather than having to do them all one by one - which saves a lot of time.” “The end result is a simple and easy-to-use engineer interface overlaying a very powerful VMS platform, meaning less training, less time on site and easier maintenance. And Cathexis backs this up with the highest levels of support in the industry.” The open architecture Windows and Linux variants of CatVision enable IP cameras, recording and viewing servers to be integrated seamlessly, providing clients with maximum return on investment. CatVision features built-in video analytics capabilities, and offers system health monitoring. The solution is also available with a Network Addressable Storage option. The software further provides dewarping functionality for 360 degree cameras, such as the PanoCam360 from AMG Panogenics. CatVision supports the ONVIF interoperability standard, and integrates with the majority of IP camera brands including; Acam, ACTi , AMG Panogenics, Arecont Vision, Axis, Bosch, Canon, Hikvision, Honeywell, Mobotix, Oncam, Panasonic, Pelco, Samsung, Sony, and Vivotek. Cathexis has always put a lot of emphasis on integration with other security or process systems, and CatVision is no exception. The VMS is able to integrate with an extensive variety of security and non-security devices such as alarm panels, access control systems, fire alarms and point of sale systems. CatVision is supplied on four software levels and has several licensed add-ons to provide full flexibility to seamlessly tailor endlessly customised solutions. The software's backward compatibility supports a hybrid platform making upgrading easy, cost effective and ensures a future proof solution. Find out more about CatVision by visiting Cathexis in Hall 5, stand 5/B105 at IFSEC. Download your free trial copy of CatVision from the Cathexis website [www.cathexiseu.com]. IFSEC 2013 takes place at the NEC Birmingham from May 13-16.
