The IIPSEC exhibition and conference runs at Stoneleigh Park, Coventry, from January 25 to 27, 2005. Dedicated Micros on stand M5, Manxman Suite, are among the exhibitors.
Dedicated Micros is to showcase its growing DV-IP portfolio. The company will also be launching some new developments in bespoke DV-IP Server technology for specific market sectors including the new DV-IP ATM, the subject of Dedicated Micros’ IP in Action show seminar.
The inherent flexibility of the DV-IP Server range makes it a building block for any multi-site application, DM say. With open protocols and a Software Development Kit (SDK) that allow systems to be customised for different end-user requirements, the technology is suitable, the firm says, for centrally monitored, large-scale installations such as town centres, hospitals and campus environments.
Designed as a hybrid security solution, the DV-IP Server continually stores evidential-quality images on each local machine to ensure every detail of every incident is captured clearly. Simultaneously, the BS-8418 compliant system is able to stream MPEG-4 video, allowing transmission over the ISDN and broadband connections used by remote monitoring stations, the makers add.
What they say
John Goy, senior product manager for DV-IP at DM says: “Many IT managers are nervous about introducing video components onto their organisation’s computer network for fear of clogging up the system with heavyweight CCTV images. The new DV-IP Server addresses these concerns in two ways. Firstly, by using MPEG-4, a compression technique designed specifically for low bandwidth environments, the required transmission capacity is kept to a minimum. Secondly, since the server records all the data locally, CCTV images are only put on the network when requested by a viewing station. This is in direct contrast to pure IP camera-based architectures, where each camera continually floods the network with CCTV video for recording elsewhere.” The DV-IP Server offers up to100 pps record rate for high speed image recording and features tamper-proof alarm-handling capabilities in compliance with BS-8418, critical for central monitoring station applications.
But, image capture and recording are only part of the DV-IP story, the makers add; also on show will be the latest DV-IP viewing technology. The new multi-site DV-IP Viewer enables multiple cameras from multiple DVRs to be viewed within the same PC application, particularly important when accessing data across a campus, town centre or international sites. Dedicated Micros will also be demonstrating the capability of its five-channel DV-IP Decoder. Fully compatible with all DV-IP Servers, a single Decoder allows digital video from to be displayed on up to five standard composite monitors. These flexible solutions provide a cost-effective mix of traditional CCTV monitors and networked PC viewing across the installation.
