With new features to improve performance and manageability, Avigilon Control Center 4.2 captures, transmits, manages, stores, archives, plays back, and exports HD video while efficiently handling bandwidth and storage requirements. "Organisations around the world are using Avigilon HD surveillance systems to monitor operations, validate safety procedures, and ensure compliance with industry regulations or corporate best practices," said Dave Tynan, vice president of global sales and marketing at Avigilon. "With added features for improved manageability and a more powerful network video management software platform that supports data from any resolution or camera technology, Avigilon Control Center 4.2 delivers superior evidence to lead to improved response times and greater investigative success." Avigilon Control Center 4.2 includes the following new features and benefits: Web Browser Based Avigilon Control Center ClientAvigilon Control Center 4.2 now includes full-featured client software that can be used inside Microsoft Internet Explorer without requiring the installation of software on the remote viewing machine. Using HDSM, the new web browser based client enables quick and reliable access to HD surveillance images from remote machines which allows security professionals real-time access to surveillance images from any location. Site Grouping for Dynamic System Explorer Layout Avigilon Control Center 4.2 facilitates the customised grouping of servers, cameras, views, maps, and web pages within the system explorer. Benefitting large sites, custom grouping allows easier navigation and system management by grouping surveillance components logically instead of physically. With this feature, surveillance professionals can group components by site, location, owner, role, or whatever grouping makes most sense for their particular installation. Audio Alerts for Rules Engine Events and Alarm Monitoring Security operators need to know when an important event happens. Avigilon Control Center 4.2 features pre-loaded or customised advanced audio alerts to ensure that security professionals are alerted to important events. Manually Triggered Recording Manually triggered recording capabilities allow operators to manually start recording for a specific camera using a newly designed button on the image viewing panel. This feature enables operators to instantly turn on recording if observing an event on a monitored system and works in conjunction with alarms, events, motion, and all other existing recording triggers. Expanded Third Party IP Camera Support Avigilon Control Center 4.2 records and manages video from a wider range of third party IP cameras and analogue encoders for the purpose of building hybrid systems and preserving existing assets. Management of surveillance video from third party cameras and analogue encoders is in the camera's native compression format, including H.264, MPEG4, or MJPEG.

Omnicast 4.7, the latest version of Genetec’s IP video surveillance system

Omnicast 4.7 – IP Video Surveillance System Omnicast is the IP video surveillance system of the Security Center, Genetec’s unified security platform. It is the perfect solution for organizations requiring seamless management of digital video, audio and data across any IP network. The release of the latest version Omnicast 4.7 provides an array of new features and enhancements to the system. New Features & Enhancements  Video Trickling: Video trickling leverages the recording capabilities of the edge devices (IP cameras and encoders) by providing the ability to choose and transfer the video from the edge on demand and store it in Omnicast for long-term archiving. This new feature allows for increased recording reliability, bandwidth usage optimization by only transferring video of interest at the right time, and the opportunity to lower costs of remote-site recording by going serverless. HTTPS support: HTTPS support increases security of the edge device communications by encrypting the commands and controls of the cameras. The support for HTTPS is available with all Axis cameras and encoders, fifth generation Sony cameras, and the Genetec extension when supported by the partner. Simplified unit enrolment process: It is now possible to search and enroll cameras by manufacturer name and add units to the system based on a specific IP address range so that multiple units can be added simultaneously, saving considerable time during setup. Support for Axis cameras’ Cross Line Detection feature: Customers can now monitor and handle cross line alarms within Omnicast, and search for cross line alarms directly from the Archive Player. Additional languages: In order to enhance the user experience, Arabic, Persian, Thai and Russian languages have been added to Omnicast 4.7. The user interface has also been adjusted to read from right to left in both Arabic and Persian.
