Intelligent Video
Expanding video surveillance systems with devices such are IP cameras, various alarms, card readers and other, is not a breeze on the video surveillance market, it is currently trend on the market.
Traditional system of centralized surveillance with analog cameras is outdated, so due to abruptly expanding of computer networks, their increased stability and bandwidth, developing of system which will be able to use all of their advantages is taking part.
Main Blancom guidelines for further development of its video surveillance system are devices mentioned above which will interact with main module (Provectus2 DVR) over TCP/IP network and make one compact unit: Blancom Intelligent Video solutions.
Blancom Intelligent Video
Situation on video surveillance market
Idea of expanding video surveillance systems with other devices is well adopted and accepted on the market. There are many companies developing expandable video surveillance systems. Users have ever growing demands due to quick development of technology, its reliability and low prices and it is necessary to satisfy their demands. Video surveillance market is great, only companies with best ideas and which can provide what user wants are successful.
Blancom solution
Blancom Company is one of them. We have recognized users demands because they need the best and cheap solution and we can provide it. Major part of system is based on open source solutions which are proved and reliable. We always provide certain doze of flexibility so there are alternatives like using Windows™ OS.
Blancom Intelligent Video encompasses all systems which can be useful in video surveillance system providing monitoring wanted events, in any time, from anywhere, so you can calmly go on your holiday by knowing that you can be immediately notified if some unwanted event happens.
Main module
Main module consists of Provectus2 series DVR and analog cameras. Provectus2 DVR can perform real time recording, motion detection, sending notification messages (e-mail, SMS), advanced video analysis, on 32 channels. It is based on Linux OS what makes it stable and reliable. It has simple and well groomed graphical design which provides quick and effectively setting various features. It provides connection to 256 remote users who can monitor live images and set option as they can over secure SSH connection.
A-IS module
A-IS module is video material intelligent searching device. It runs on client application which connects to Provectus2 DVR and search video material for wanted event on different criteria such as objects, objects behavior, various situations, motion...
What makes this application unique is its universality; it can connect to any source of digital signal and then do intelligent searching.
B-AC module
Card readers are wide spread and popular world wide because they provide efficient way to monitor employee work activities. Integrating them into whole system to achieve maximum performance and flexibility was extra challenge to us.
RFID card reader is connected to whole system so it is possible to monitor precise employee coming and parting time. IP camera connects to reader and logs precise time of events and makes snapshots or several of them to make short movie clip. Then there are various possibilities: camera can automatically send information about event by sending e-mail on previously defined e-mail address or send snapshots to previously defined FTP server in defined folder.
What makes out system unique is that it doesn't depend on IP camera functions, logs can be directly stored in database which can be easily searched by different criteria such are time, employee name, card ID, purpose of arriving/parting and so on.
C-IP module
Main part of C-IP module are IP cameras which are not breeze in the video surveillance market but there are many daily new tasks which has to be accomplished. IP cameras are better then their predecessors, analog cameras. They have much flexible possibilities of use (recording, notifying, motion detecting), greater image quality and easy access to system. One of their greatest advantages is decentralization of access. They can connect from any part of the world where there is connection to one of communication media (GSM, GPRS, ADSL, ISDN and PSTN).
According to industry analyst J.P. Freeman and Co., Inc. there are more then 20 million analog cameras installed in the US. Of this 20 million, 1.5 million cameras were sold in 2002. However that number seems quite impressive, in fact it isn't, but indicating coming of IP cameras on the market and clearly indicates that IP cameras will take the market.
IP cameras are connected by switch to intelligent searching video device and on the network. Beside wired network, very acceptable and popular alternative is the wireless network where cabling is complicated and expensive. Searching for interesting event is quite simple and quick. IP cameras can send notification messages with snapshots and information if their IP address has been changed.
D-FA module
Crucial part of this module is fire alarm panel which provides connection with smoke, fire, glass break and heat detectors, and various alarms such are sounder or strobe. This is traditional system wide spread in public institutions such are schools, hospitals, airports while glass break or door open detectors have wider appliance in high importance values like banks or museums.
Panel can be programmed locally via menu driven keypad which simplifies even the most complex design requirements with maximum reliability. It can be connected to its serial interface and it is equipped with COM to IP module so it can be monitored over TCP/IP network. Via user-friendly software it is simple to add or remove users and their rights on panel, upload/download and do system diagnostics for total control and flexibility. Panel can send notification messages (e-mail, SMS).
E-RC module
It have miniature design, 10/100 Mb/s Ethernet and serial connection, own robust OS and Web server. Power supply can be achieved over PoE technology. For secure connection password and 256-bit AES encryption are used. Main advantage of this module is at its miniature design and ever great applicability for remote diagnostic and upgrade, asset tracking and replenishment, automation and control, power management, remote collaboration and so on.
It has 16 inputs and 8 relay outputs for different purposes such are open/close door/window, working process monitoring and so on. Its Web features can be used for configuration, remote monitoring or troubleshooting including real time device performance notification via e-mail alerts.
F-CM module
It is necessary to assure compatibility of analog systems with new, digital systems. We did that in this module. There is great amount of analog cameras in the world today so it is very useful if it can be used along with IP cameras. Devices named Video Server provides using all of digital systems advantages without investment in analog systems. Expanding video surveillance systems with analog cameras via Video Servers is very simple and cheap solution and maintenance costs are small.
Records from analog cameras are sent to Video Server which provides digitalization and compression of records and makes them acceptable for sending to network (LAN, WLAN, xDSL, ISDN, standard and cellular Modem). Video Server also has alarm inputs and relay outputs for connecting various devices.
Conclusion
Blancom Intelligent Video system is very flexible and reliable. It is developed due to need for new technology features and user need for flexible solutions. The strongest base on which our Intelligent Video reside is Provectus2 series DVR which is surely in top 5 products on world video surveillance market but we think that it is even the best. When we have good base it is not difficult to build, expand our system. Other modules don't lapse for main module. They are quality enough to satisfy great demands on market. Blancom Company is long time on the market, and we have world class reputation which we will would like to keep and with Blancom Intelligent Video and even rise.
