Live video, which is streamed across the IP network, can now be viewed by selecting specific camera feeds or in response to an event or an alarm.
The video has also been designed for intercom applications or for identification when using the Cardax FT Challenge module. This affords end users the ability to double-check the identity of cardholders passing through an entry point via visual comparison of a cardholder’s image against a picture from a live IndigoVision video feed.
The Cardax interface makes up one of 23 modules designed to allow “seamless” integration over the IP network with Control Center, IndigoVision’s security management software, as well as other third-party systems such as access control, intruder alarm, BMS, process control and Electronic Point of Sale.
Benefits of integration
According to IndigoVision the benefits of integrating systems can be significant, allowing the user to trigger operations in one system from events generated in another.
For example, an alarm generated by a forced door can trigger an alarm in Control Center, which in turn automatically moves a PTZ camera to a preset position, displays the video of the incident and indicates the location on a schematic map.
Some of the integration modules allow two-way operation (meaning that, for example, an analytics motion detection event generated in a camera to lock doors and trigger a local alarm.
Advanced alarm features allow Control Center to operate in what’s known as a black or dark screen monitoring mode where video is only displayed on alarm.
