Hanwha Vision and Immix bolster integration

Hanwha Vision and Immix have enhanced their longstanding partnership with a deeper integration that supports industry-leading AI analytics in video surveillance for Alarm Receiving Centres (ARCs). The partnership supports a combined vision for security that ensures customers have the latest technologies to meet their evolving needs. AI improves accuracy and efficiency By utilising AI analytics in-camera, ARC operators now receive significantly fewer false alarms as surveillance systems alert them only to genuine events and ignore irrelevant motion, for example wildlife, flags and swaying trees. Operator efficiency is improved, with teams receiving more detailed information about each event to assist them with decision-making. As the AI is available within the camera devices, or “at the edge”, customer sites can now be equipped with powerful AI that is simple to set up for systems integrators, saving time. Greater situational awareness The enhanced integration supports a wide range of video analytics including face and audio detection, tampering alerts, object detection (people and vehicles) as well as virtual line-crossing and loitering detection. Forensic search is enabled via the metadata generated by the AI, for improved emergency responses and post-event investigation. In addition, Network Video Recorder (NVR) playback means operators can carefully review pre and post-event footage and take appropriate action at the time of an event. Furthermore, as the Immix platform connects various different alarm systems such as video surveillance, intrusion, fire alarms and access control into a single interface, alarms can be streamlined to boost efficiency and optimise resources. Additional features Two-way audio and relay control is now available for operators to use as an intrusion deterrent, for example at perimeters, and to offer additional services such as entry management. Direct camera communication means devices can directly communicate with ARC software, to support rapid deployment cameras that require a remote connection. As a result, leading security capabilities are more accessible while deployment is streamlined. John Lutz Boorman, Head of Product and Marketing at Hanwha Vision Europe, said, “Hanwha Vision and Immix are committed to meeting the evolving needs of customers and mitigating the changing risk landscape. Our latest integration makes it easier than ever for control rooms and operators to access cutting-edge AI in video surveillance that improves responses, reduces false alarms, and optimises resources.” “Immix is very excited to announce yet another product integration with Hanwha Vision,” stated Immix CEO Chris Brown. “Hanwha Vision has been a very strong and trusted partner for many years now and Immix is pleased to be able to offer our customers a vast array of solutions from their portfolio that can enable new managed security services and foster growth opportunities for the industry as a whole. Immix prides itself in giving our customers as many choices as possible and Hanwha Vision certainly affords us that capability with such a diverse product menu. Read more in our latest issue here.

Genesis wireless PIR detector systems now fully SDK integrated

Surveillance, UK News Desk / Ghyslaine Cordrey

Genesis wireless PIR detector systems, from UK-based manufacturer Luminite, now have complete SDK integration with leading CCTV manufacturers’ control equipment including Immix, Panasonic, Dedicated Micros, Milestone and HeiTel. Genesis wireless PIRs connect to an IP Masthead receiver from up to 1km away, using RF wireless communications. A Genesis PIR will alert when triggered by site incidents ranging from intruder detection through to tamper, cloak, shock, low battery, missing detector, Masthead tamper and Masthead jamming. All SDK integrated CCTV equipment has remote access to the Genesis IP Masthead, for configuring and managing alarm actions arising from any of the PIR alerts. Each alert can be mapped to one or more video channels within the CCTV system and the ‘alarm response’ to each alert can be clearly defined. “A Windows-style, graphic user interface enables operators to link any type of alert to any video channel in a CCTV system and define subsequent actions”, explained Graham Creek, Managing Director of Luminite. “A detection or tamper alert can be configured to raise audible alarms, whilst a low battery event can be configured to request a routine maintenance visit. Key holders, operators and installers can all be notified of any combination of events, including by email. PIR system intelligence of this type significantly increases the effectiveness and efficiency of CCTV systems. “Battery power and wireless communications are robust and reliable in PIR applications. No wiring is required between the PIR detectors and the IP Masthead, so they can be placed in their optimal position without requiring civil works. This not only makes Genesis wireless PIRs quick to install, but also allows the PIRs to be placed on a site perimeter looking inwards, reducing detection “overspill” and false alarms.” Contact Luminite on 020 8368 7887 or visit luminite.co.uk for more information.

Surveillance, UK News Desk / Ghyslaine Cordrey

Remote Video Response (RVR) – a division of UTC Climate Controls and Security – is the latest Remote Monitoring station to integrate with the Concept Pro VXH264DVR, which is available exclusively from Videcon. RVR has installed the Immix monitoring software platform alongside its current technology to enhance the service that it provides to its customers. Videcon Marketing Manager Rob Watson comments: Over the past two years we’ve regularly received excellent feedback on the VXH264 DVR for being very easy to install and integrate with Remote Monitoring stations. This year it’s gone from strength to strength as we’ve integrated it with more and more monitoring stations, and the opportunity to now work with a name like Chubb is another welcome development. Colin Walters, General Manager of RVR says: Being able to support the extensive range of Videcon technology provides a significant competitive advantage. It means that installers can choose the Videcon device that is most appropriate to their needs, safe in the knowledge that we can support them. Customers buying a VXH264 DVR can connect it to RVR with immediate effect. RVR offers monitoring of both domestic and commercial premises and their monitoring service gives their customers a highly effective deterrent to crime, as well as significant cost savings compared with manned guarding.
