AD Network Video introduces enhanced high definition IP video surveillance solution
AD Network Video introduces enhanced high definition IP video surveillance solution

Security surveillance specialist, AD Network Video, has introduced its enhanced integrated HD IP video solution. The new system, Virtual NVR, delivers a solution that combines unlimited scalability with three tiers of distributed storage, offering complete security and resilience for users. Jamie Horastead, business development manager for Virtual NVR from AD Network Video comments: “We believe Virtual NVR is ideal for a range of industries such as airports, banks and retail that demand complete reassurance that footage is secure and is fit for evidential purposes.” The Virtual NVR solution intelligently distributes video storage across single or multiple locations, with IP cameras recording and storing images on the in-camera server. These will carry on recording if network outages occur as the devices operate like standalone systems, resulting in no single point of failure. The evidential recordings are easily accessible locally or from control rooms via a single user interface and are exported in compliance with police and home office guidelines. Recordings can be archived and managed from a central location driving greater efficiency and flexibility in locating and retrieving video from multiple sites. Horastead: “Virtual NVR can offer significant returns on investment. The system combines effective video transmission, alarm handling, database integration and HD storage mitigation. “For sectors such as retail it can make an immediate difference to the bottom line, combining processing systems with Virtual NVR to reduce shrinkage owing to theft and internal fraud.” Pauline Norstrom, chief operating officer of AD Network Video, part of AD Group, comments: “Virtual NVR illustrates the continuing commitment to bringing to market uniquely beneficial and effective video security management solutions. “Our in-house R & D capability continues to underpin our industry reputation for innovation. “In a vastly undifferentiated IP video market where price and not value can be attractive to buyers, AD wins out over and above the "glorified web cam" by combining effective video transmission, alarm handling, database integration and HD storage mitigation in a way that no competitor can match. We have something special here that will help clients to improve security, increase ROI and reduce cost of ownership.” AD Group has developed security surveillance solutions for more than 30 years. The latest generation includes solutions for reducing fire risk through the use of Video Smoke Detection, FireVu, and logistics losses, TransVu. Both can be used effectively in a range of industries.

Focus on the basics: The new Zelaris Elements freeware solution
Focus on the basics: The new Zelaris Elements freeware solution

The new Zelaris Elements freeware is a free, fully functional software solution for the management of IP-based video surveillance systems made up of eneo products and it does not have any restrictions such as a forced restart every thirty minutes or other annoyances that bully users into having to decide to buy another license. Of course there are differences to the purchasable versions, but whoever places value on ‘elementary' functions will be happy with Zelaris Elements. What does Elements actually offer in practice?Zelaris ElementDisplay, recording and management of up to 16 eneo IP cameras from the well-known user-friendly Zelaris user interface are possible with Elements. Cameras are recognised automatically, so integration is problem-free with even only a small knowledge of networking. All connected cameras can then be managed centrally. The responsible security personnel are noticed automatically should a camera malfunction when, for instance, the cable has been cut. The recording time is seven days with video imagery from all sources being saved in 720x576pixels and 25 frames per second - i.e. in real-time. And of course it is also possible to record Full HD video signals. Effective compression and therefore lower bandwidth and memory requirements is provided by selecting MJPEG, MPEG4 or H.264 compression. Sequences up to five minutes long (e.g. for preservation of evidence) can be exported as AVI files. Manual control of dome cameras as well as the capability of programming tours for security personnel are additional functions.Difference between the versionsAnd the differences to the Basic, Server, Client and Control versions? The most important difference is that Elements supports exclusively eneo IP cameras, and it also does not have an ONVIF interface. Further differences lie in the maximum number of connectable cameras as well as the different recording options (according to a schedule or only in an alarm situation), operation of multiple displays, site plan display and analysis functions. Can the other versions do considerably more than Elements? Of course, but this is also why they are not for free.
