Security - Products & Services Low-Cost Network Video Recorder Features Support for Megapixel IP Cameras and HDMI Output Toshiba Surveillance and IP Video Products Group has released the ESV4, a four-channel embedded network video recorder (NVR) that combines high-definition output. The Toshiba ESV4 is loaded with features and technologies such as HDMI output in 1080p high-definition video, simultaneous recording of four megapixel IP cameras, mobile app support (iPhone, iPad, Android) and free Video Management Software. It is compatible with Toshiba IP cameras and more than 500 other OnVIF compliant IP cameras up to five megapixels. The ESV4 interface is simple to operate, whether on a local recorder, in a browser or remotely viewed from a mobile device. For additional convenience, it comes with on-board CMS Basic Video Management Software that uses standard network protocols to automatically find and configure cameras, assign IP addresses, display connection status and manage multiple cameras with live monitoring with full search capabilities. This combination of both design and technology has streamlined the IP migration process and eliminated the confusion often associated with recording video on the network. Embedded with the Linux operating system and supporting H.264 live monitoring and recording, the ESV4 offers added reliability. It is also adaptive to evolving security needs with expandable video storage up to 6-Terabytes on its two internal high-speed SATA HDDs. Live video from IP cameras operating in multiple locations can be remotely managed and recorded on an ESV4 stored off-site to prevent tampering. SightLogix SightTracker Automatically Steers Videotec PTZ Cameras SightLogix, Inc. has integrated the SightTracker pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) camera controller with Videotec’s ULISSE line of positioning devices. The integration gives users an accurate video security solution for detection, tracking and assessment over outdoor areas. The SightTracker solves the challenge of an operator trying to manually locate a target outdoors using a PTZ camera. SightTracker auto-steers PTZ cameras to follow detected targets for greater detail without human intervention. Targets are visually displayed on the video management system while the target’s location is presented on the SightMonitor map or a Physical Security Information Management (PSIM) system. The all-in-one ULISSE systems integrate a 360° rotating pan and tilt head with a camera and housing and a multiprotocol telemetry receiver. SightTrackers use GPS-based target information provided by an associated SightSensor detection camera to automatically guide the ULISSE systems to follow detected targets for greater detail without human intervention. PureTech Systems’ Video Analytics Now Integrated with OnSSI VMS PureTech Systems has announced that its PureActiv video analytics solution has been integrated with OnSSI ‘s Ocularis video surveillance platform. The integration allows users of OnSSI’s Ocularis software to utilize advanced video detection features in its alarm capabilities, such as real object size, real target size and real location (3D-latitude, longitude and elevation). Ocularis is OnSSI’s video management system combines network video recorders (NVRs) with physical security information management (PSIM) functionality. The integration allows Ocularis to provide alerts utilizing PureTech Systems’ intelligent video analytic algorithms. In addition to being able to alarm using geospatial parameters: real object size, real 22 www.RemoteMagazine.com cross track speed, real forward track speed and real position, the integration provides the ability to provide a host of zone based alarms (wrong direction, entering zone, leaving zone, etc.) and alarms based on behavioral analytics (crowding, dropped object, loitering, etc.). The suite of alarms also includes PureActiv’s learning background algorithm, which reduces nuisance events and allows for high accuracy detection even with substantial background movement. HID Global Brings HID Technology to ASSA ABLOY’s Aperio Wireless Lock Family HID Global’s parent company ASSA ABLOY´s Aperio wireless lock family can now deliver genuine HID for performance, value and service, including interoperability with Seos credentials from HID Global and ASSA ABLOY, and with the HID Global iCLASS SE reader platform. Aperio lock technology enables doors to be integrated into an access control system without having to install wiring, make any structural changes to the doors, or modify existing access control credentials or system software. Aperio lock technology provides organizations with a way to wirelessly link mechanical door locks to new or existing access control systems so that the doors can be opened with RFID cards rather than keys. As a certified Genuine HID Technology, Aperio also supports HID Global’s iCLASS SE platform, which is an adaptable, interoperable and secure access control solutions, and includes Seos credentials for improved security, privacy and portability. Additionally, Aperio locks support iCLASS, MIFARE and DESFire, as well as low frequency 125 kHz HID Prox and EM410x technologies. By certifying ASSA ABLOY’s Aperio wireless lock family as a Genuine HID Technology, ASSA ABLOY and HID Global give Aperio customers the assurance that these products are supported by an array of interoperable solutions that have been enhanced by an international network of partnerships and alliances and are manufactured in worldwide ISO-certified facilities. Aperio customers also benefit from interoperability with the HID Global iCLASS SE platform and Seos credentials. Based on open standards, the iCLASS platform ensures that technology investments can be leveraged in the future, and that today’s access control solutions will work with future products including those using NFC-enabled smartphones and other devices. Hikvision Launches X55 Low-Light Network Cameras Hikvision has released a series of low-light network cameras, the X55 series, that enables users to achieve vision of details in extremely dark environments. There are four models in the series: the DS-2CD755F-E(I)(Z) indoor dome camera, DS-2CD7255F-E(I)Z(H) outdoor dome camera, DS-2CD855F-E network box camera and DS2CD8255F-EI(Z) bullet camera. Each offers super low light technology (up to 0.05 lux/f1.2, with AGC on), and boasts of a full high-definition output and noise reduction technology (3D DNR). With a minimum illumination of 0.05 lux @ F1.2, these cameras have a level of sensitivity that allows users to discern colors, shapes, sizes and movements in near complete darkness. Coupled with a wide range, the most meticulous details can be brought to life and captured with clarity. Each of the models in the series captures images of up to 2 megapixels and provides full HD 1080p real-time video recording. The DS2CD8255F-EI(Z) and DS-2CD7255F-E(I)Z(H) both incorporate a weather proof rating of IP66 and operate in a range of weather conditions including a temperature range of -10°C to 60°C and humidity of up to 90 percent. http://www.RemoteMagazine.com
