Taiwanese School Deploys Etrovision IP Solutions

Project Mission A school in Taiwan had been searching for a solution to replace the existing surveillance system and reach a higher security level. However, the existing system is a 128-CH surveillance system with stand-alone DVR software, which is not compatible with network camera. Take the huge cost of replacement into consideration; Etrovision constructs a hybrid solution, including Etrovisio

Installing Analytics in the Real World

System integrators agree that deploying video analytics varies project-by-project, requiring careful scrutiny of each site for optimum performance. Outdoor and indoor considerations are case-specific, often mandating nonstandard operating procedures to achieve a working solution.

Putting Analytics under the Microscope

Despite criticism, video content analysis has made commendable progress in the last year. Efforts to reach out to the mass market have seen more deployments, fewer false alarms, lower prices and better features.

AVerMedia Hybrid: Beyond Imagination

Moving to the IP platform starts with embracing hybrid technology. As the face of today's DVR landscape changes and the advances in IP technology grows, we are seeing that surveillance growth is shifting from traditional DVRs and analog cameras to networked video surveillance products. As players try to enter the new IP arena, they are doing cutting-edge Hybrid DVRs and DVRs that support both anal

Video Analysis: Ideal Assistance for Operators

Video systems generate a vast volume of picture data, but it is not economically sensible for humans to review and evaluate all of it. Usually on sites where lots of video cameras are used, they have to be monitored by just a few operators. Watching all cameras continuously is just not an effective use of manpower because no human being can give their full attention to lots of images at once and

Hosted Services Take on Traditional Security Considerations

Access control has been offered in the software-as-a-service (SaaS) model for years and is not limited to installation size. Video surveillance is a different story. Bandwidth and storage limitations have plagued IP-based video, and with managed or hosted services, these issues become more prominent.

Hosted Services Speak the IT Language

With IP blooming, software-as-a-service (SaaS) is the next natural step for physical security. However, IT complications have hindered real growth. Vendors are still sifting through limitations to deliver true plug-and-play, user-friendly and cost-efficient services.

Software-as-a-Service in the Spotlight

Software-as-a-service (SaaS) is shaking the physical security industry. A veteran of the IT and consumer markets, the service has cast a small but expanding spotlight, inviting security providers to further solution development in the IT world.

SDKs Enable Fast Customization

System integrators and software developers face many problems. Designing tailor-made solutions without help from hardware manufacturers is a daunting task. The latest powerful and easy-to-use SDKs from equipment manufacturers can significantly reduce costs by overcoming several integration and new technology difficulties.
