IndigoVision EPOS Integration
IndigoVision EPOS Integration

IndigoVision has developed a powerful surveillance solution for the retail and hospitality sectors by integrating its IP Video system with Electronic Point of Sale (EPOS).Data sent from an EPOS system can be overlaid on a live video display, allowing operators to view the camera feed and till transaction simultaneously. The transaction information and alarms generated by the EPOS system are also bookmarked and recorded alongside the video. This facilitates visual identification of an incident in both real time and through post-event analysis.Powerful transaction analysis can be undertaken on the stored data, for example, finding out when a particular credit card was used by searching every till in a store or across all stores from the head office. Conversely, recorded video can be searched using a thumbnail feature, which displays a video still image for every transaction, allowing the operator to quickly identify the relevant footage. Evidential quality video clips and associated transaction data can be exported for investigation or use in court. This can be played back using IndigoVision's standalone Incident Player.Alarms generated by the EPOS system, such as ‘till left open', ‘refund', or ‘large note deposit' can automatically trigger a number of events. For example, display the nearest camera view to the specific till and pinpoint the alarm on an interactive map. This creates a more efficient operator environment that leads to quicker incident response. Alarms from non-security systems such as building management and plant monitoring can also easily be integrated into the system and benefit retail applications, for example, alerting staff when a freezer fails or a door is left open."IndigoVision has a strong presence in the retail sector and has deployed surveillance systems with some of the world's best-known retailers such as IKEA, Sears and John Lewis Partnership," said Oliver Vellacott, IndigoVision CEO. "This new development will strengthen that position further and provide stores with an unmatched solution for integrated surveillance."The seamless integration with third-party systems is achieved through integration modules in ‘Control Center', IndigoVision's Security Management Software. In addition to EPOS, the company has integration modules for over 20 different IP-based access control and security systems.

IndigoVision launches SMS4 r3 for coordination of situation response
IndigoVision launches SMS4 r3 for coordination of situation response

IndigoVision recently released new software to coordinate responses between agencies and operatives with pervasive real time video. The system automatically validates incoming data to verify critical events, escalating video for management of the situation to personnel in other locations and ensuring an appropriate response. Operatives are provided with both real time and recorded video, giving them the ‘eyes and ears everywhere' to optimally assess the situation. IndigoVision's SMS4 release 3 starts with the qualification of incoming data to filter out false alerts so personnel can focus on likely threats. The system also lets you embed prior intelligence by noting the sequence and combination of events that may constitute a situation. Qualified alerts that are not assessed within a certain time period are then automatically passed along a chain of operators, accompanied by real time contextual video, to guarantee a swift response. Events that are identified as priority get automatically escalated to higher levels of authority and/or agencies in other locations. SMS4 release 3 also supports the automatic expansion of the 'threat zone' if the initial situation is not handled within a certain time. For example, if a perimeter breach is not addressed quickly, then nearby buildings are automatically placed into alert. The new analytics added to this latest release allow operators to filter situational data by location, zone or incident criteria to better understand how events unfolded. Automatic scheduling of actions based upon time of day and other criteria can also be developed into ‘routine scenarios', which will receive an automated but intelligent response. Another new feature is the addition of ‘audio forensics', which greatly improves investigators' abilities to locate critical evidence fast. The addition of audible data such as a breaking window to existing video forensics can aid police officers and other emergency personnel to get straight to the action. SMS4 release 3 is the latest evolution of IndigoVision's leading edge security management software.  With enhanced capabilities for managing multi-agency situations through pervasive access to video, SMS4 release 3 empowers its users to greatly increase their response time and accuracy. Existing users can upgrade to SMS4 r3 through IndigoVision's Software Upgrade Program (SUP).

IndigoVision launches a low-cost IP-CCTV video wall
IndigoVision launches a low-cost IP-CCTV video wall

IndigoVision, the leading manufacturer of complete end-to-end IP security solutions, has released Video Wall software that allows professional fully-featured IP-CCTV control room video walls to be built to any size, at a fraction of the cost of other dedicated display products. Based on ‘Control Center', the company's Security Management Software, video walls can be constructed with complete scalability using any PC monitor type (CRT, LCD and plasma), with standard or High Definition wide-screen format. The video wall is driven using slave ‘Control Center' workstations, each of which manages up to 4 monitors. Up to 98 slaves can be controlled over the IP network from an unlimited number of master ‘Control Center' workstations. Each monitor can display up to 25 video panes, allowing video walls with up to 9,800 panes to be constructed. On large sites multiple video walls can be deployed in different control rooms, all accessing the same video from any camera or Network Video Recorder (NVR), no matter where they are located. This can only be achieved because IndigoVision's architecture is completely distributed. Monitors within the video wall can be used to display a variety of information, including live or recorded video, guard tours, salvos, site maps and alarm status. In addition, information from third-party applications can be displayed, such as the status of access control or building management systems. The video wall is controlled using standard CCTV keyboards connected to any of the master workstations. The video wall supports the ‘Control Center' black screen monitoring mode, where video is only displayed on alarm. This method of operation is recognised as providing a more efficient operator environment that leads to quicker incident response. Using IndigoVision's advanced alarm management features, content and layout of individual monitors in the video wall can be controlled dynamically from the status of alarms and events.

Whether it’s a small operation of ten streams or a complex network of well over 1000 cameras, DIVA successfully manages the network and applies analytics algorithms to detect and recognize faces and license plates. Since operators often require different features and functionalities, it is possible to configure the DIVA user-interface and video wall layout to fit the needs of each specific user profile. This ensures that those using DIVA have an accessible and user-friendly application at their finger-tips. Easy integration It is easy to integrate DIVA with third-party systems. Besides supporting a wide range of subsystems, including access control, data synchronization, intrusion, and building management, DIVA provides flexible XML data output to communicate its events to third-party applications. Furthermore, DIVA can integrate with a matrix switch to provide a hybrid solution. This ultimately facilitates the migration from existing analog infrastructure to an IP installation. Guaranteed availability DIVA’s failover server ensures the reliability and availability of the entire system It monitors a specified list of servers. If no response is received from one of the servers, the failover server takes on the settings of that server and starts to function as that server. Several failover servers can be defined to monitor different groups of active servers. Additionally, DIVA monitors the position and image quality of connected cameras to verify the effectiveness of the applied analytics. This ultimately provides users with a truly complete management system that guarantees the dependability of the surveillance solution.
