IDIS is to launch its video surveillance product powered by their DirectIP protocol.
With a 15-year history in the surveillance market as an original equipment manufacturer (OEM), IDIS will launch its own suite of IP high-definition (HD) cameras, network video recorders (NVR) and video management system (VMS) built on IDIS’s DirectIP framework and protocols. According to the company this provides the industry’s first true one-stop-shop HD solution from a single source provider. The firm claims the DirectIP framework and VMS allow installation and ease of use previously only associated with analogue systems.
Brian Song, European Director, IDIS, said: “As the proliferation of IP and HD systems has grown, our customers and partners frequently report frustration with the many challenges presented by an overly fragmented and unnecessarily complex surveillance marketplace. Customers, installers and end-users face difficulties related to increased integration and implementation costs, growing complexity in network configuration, and the sheer effort and cost tied to the maintenance of varied equipment from multiple vendors. IDIS’s new, fully integrated DirectIP solution suite addresses these challenges both definitively and affordably.”
IDIS says DirectIP will provide plug and play by delivering recognition by the NVR (network recorder) of every networked camera—enabling end users to start monitoring live video at once without cumbersome network configuration. It will the makers claim further eliminate the complexities of traditional networked CCTV systems with an installation that no longer requires the manual input of device IP addresses or related port forwarding and routing. The DirectIP switching hub and camera registration will allow multi-connection structures between NVRs while supporting Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices and integration with intruder alarms and other electronic security systems.
The IDIS NVR will be equipped to perform five key Pentaplex processes at once, with the makers say no degradation of image quality or network interruptions—live-view, record, playback, remote access and backup of audio and video files, giving users greater choice and ease in everyday use.
Song added: “Customers have previously been required to trade away ease of installation and operation in order to upgrade from analogue systems. With the launch of the DirectIP solution suite from IDIS, customers will now recognise unprecedented levels of simplicity and ease of use, all whilst experiencing the kind of power and intelligence one would expect from a sophisticated network high-definition surveillance system.”
