NVRs that automate video lifecycle management.
TimeSight uses a patented dynamic H.264
compression with Motion Optimized Recording to
make higher resolution analog and IP solutions
more effective and affordable, and designed to
address the need for higher video image resolution
and longer retention times, while controlling
a company’s surveillance storage investment. The
appliances are available in both rack mount and
desi side for factors and can store up to 8 TB of
data.
Quantum Secure Inc.
SAFE Software
The SAFE suite of software enables security practitioners
to integrate disparate physical security
systems, automate key processes and simplify
control of employees, vendors and other thirdparty
identities across a global organization. As a
software solution, SAFE works with a user’s existing
security infrastructure, with no need to replace
existing hardware. By connecting physical security
operations closely to their IT infrastructure, corporations
can quickly lower operational costs, improve
their compliance standing and lower their
overall level of risk.
MobileCamViewer Enterprise Server
The MobileCamViewer Enterprise Server is a Windows-
based software that allows users outside
corporate LANs—such as security officers, guards,
executives and police—to securely access video
streams from DVRs, NVRs and cameras without
opening ports, assigning VPN access or changing
firewall policies. The video is only pushed through
SSL Encryption, and the server doesn’t allow any
external requests inside the network. Administrators
have full control and can add, disable or
remove users in seconds.
QNAP Systems Inc.
VioStor-8040U-RP
The VioStor-8040U-RP NVR is an eight-bay, 2U chassis network surveillance
system designed for high-quality megapixel recording,
mass storage capacity and high-performance real-time monitoring. The stand-alone NVR is based on Linux OS and
supports 40-channel M-JPEG, MPEG-4 and H.264
recording. The NVR also can be cascaded to other
QNAP NVR servers to monitor up to 120 IP cameras.
It supports hot-swap hard drive design and
redundant power supply against system downtime
caused by hard drive failure or power outage.
Avigilon
Avigilon Control Center 3.0
Avigilon Control Center, with High Definition
Stream Management, is a network video management
solution that delivers full situation awareness
and indisputable detail, leading to faster response
times, reduced investigation times and
superior overall protection. Available as standalone
software or pre-installed and configured on
an Avigilon NVR, the Avigilon Control Center is a
secure distributed network platform with enterprise-
class reliability for capturing, managing and
storing high-definition multi-megapixel surveillance
video while efficiently managing bandwidth
and storage.
MobiDEOS Inc.
MobileCamViewer
The MobileCamViewer, a downloadable mobile
software application that enables users to view
surveillance camera footage through a cell phone,
allows users to control a camera’s pan, tilt, zoom
and object-tracking functions. More than 95 percent
of mobile devices are supported, and the software
also works with DVRs, NVRs, video servers
and IP cameras. The software is a robust platform
to scale for thousands of users and is custom built
to the mobile device. The client-server system is
offered SAAS and through enterprise local installation.
Moog Quickset
Mobile Positioner
The QuickSet Mobile Positioner is designed to operate
in the most rugged of ground vehicle mobile
environments. It will carry three times the load of a
QPT-90 ED and can achieve speeds comparable to
the current QPT-90. The Mobile Positioner is available
with either 435 degrees or continuous pan
rotation. The product’s durability provides significant
margin for payload capacity and environmental
ruggedness.
Pivot3
Serverless Computing
Serverless Computing offers both server and storage
resources in a common, scalable platform for
cost savings and reliability improvements over traditional
NVRs. By eliminating stand-alone physical
server hardware, the product saves customers
money on power/cooling, rack space and acquisition
costs. The platform eliminates single points of
failure and, with RAID 6e, protects data even if
three drives simultaneously fail. Server applications
also are protected with NVR Recovery, a software
feature that restarts apps without complex or
costly dedicated hardware.
IQinvision
IQeye Event Recording System
The IQeye Event Recording System with IQaccess intelligent software
includes a self-contained, high-definition megapixel NVR and a basic
access control system all in one. Featuring a simple, intuitive user
interface, the remote attendant/notification system sends a video
alert pop-up window to every IQaccess-enabled PC when triggered,
so the user can then take action to control any device connected to
the camera’s relay output. The system uses no bandwidth to simultaneously
record crisp, clear video and includes on-camera solid
state storage.
ECL-557HIM
Eclipse Security’s ECL-557HIM color IR dome camera has an antivandal
design and an array of 30 infrared LEDs that turn on when a
threshold light level is reached, enabling the camera to function in
total darkness. Smart IR technology controls output, ensuring video
quality is not washed out or compromised as subjects in the field of
view come closer to the camera.
