10 to Try: VMS
SeeTec – SeeTec SeeTec’s VMS incorporates a Multi Solution Platform, allowing integration of analytic functions into the processes and workflows of customers. The SeeTec counting suite provides counting of objects or persons within the camera view. Like the SeeTec Analytics range, it is based on technology from ObjectVideo. Both calibration and creation of counting rules and scenarios can be achieved within the SeeTec user interface. Another feature is Multi-Installation Login, which allows the user to be connected to up to 15 SeeTec main servers in different installations simultaneously. Devices and entities of all available servers are displayed within the established tree structure. In addition to live view, archive search and alarm handling for all connected servers, the Multi-Installation Login supports the SeeTec SIP feature which allows it to establish VoIP communications. The SeeTec MobileClient for iPhone can be used to access an installation on the go via WiFi or 3G. The user can receive and manage alarms from the system, allowing the forwarding of footage directly to on-site staff or the authorities. Personnel can access camera images while on the move. In addition to alarm management and access to live and archived images, software buttons can be used for auxiliary control, for example to switch lights on and off or to open doors which are integrated into the surveillance system by I/O modules.
In the search for truly ‘open’ systems, an increasing number of security professionals are opting for VMS solutions over the traditional approach of hardware, which can sometimes be a limiting factor. Here Benchmark looks at some of the VMS options available to the video surveillance sector.
Milestone – XProtect Corporate XProtect Corporate is aimed at high risk surveillance applications with high camera counts. Sitting at the top end of the XProtect range, the system supports an unlimited number of cameras and users. Multiple servers can be run from a single management application, creating a distributed solution with central control. The system can support an unlimited number of recording servers, as well as failover servers to ensure system continuity. A central management server is used for configuration and control, although system configurations can be established though an unlimited number of management clients. The system structure is relatively
straightforward, in that the Management Server handles configuration and controls. Recording servers and failover servers store the data. This is gathered in a live database, and is automatically archived dependent upon the system demands. Users log in and can view live video or playback footage from any server on the system, via a Smart Client, which is installed on workstations. One benefit is the Rules section. This
presents a very simple and clear method to create action and event-based scenarios.
)OnSSI – Ocularis PS Ocularis PS delivers video surveillance with access to an unlimited number of cameras at a single site or at multiple locations. Authorised users can control cameras using workflow for live monitoring, investigating recorded video and generating quality video evidence. The VMS system runs on off-the-shelf hardware, and supports a wide range of third party
camera models. The system supports unlimited installations of the Ocularis Client operator interface, and up to four concurrent users can be connected. To reduce costs as systems expand, the package allows the camera licenses to be incremented in single cameras, eliminating the need to sometimes buy a ‘block’ of licenses if just one device needs to be added. Other features include maps to simplify control and management of remote sites, as well as advanced video investigation tools, including the ability to instantly investigate incidents.
