Improving real-time monitoring

Issue 8 2021 Surveillance

IDIS has released IDIS Solution Suite (ISS) version 3.5. New features and service modules are designed around increased situational awareness, efficient response coordination and speeding up investigations.

Improving real-time monitoring, text-to-speech allows operators to configure verbal multilingual notifications to pre-determined events. Operatives can now also benefit from real-time pop-ups based on the GPS location of a triggered alarm, providing enhanced wide-area awareness from cameras ranging from a 10 to 100 kilometre radius.

A new centralised audio feature enables control of multiple devices, giving security teams the capability to automate audio alerts for day-to-day operations and issue warnings in the event of a security or safety breach or emergency situation.

A new Real-Time Transport Protocol (RTTP) service also enables seamless and stable video and voice relay to third-party devices and software without an SDK or API, increasing system flexibility and helping security teams coordinate responses to threats and incidents.

To speed up investigations, IDIS Person Match extracts a person’s characteristics based on deep learning video analytics from multiple streams to present a clear timeline of events and last known locations. Synchronised Playback also presents operators with precisely time-synced screen views of video streams across single or multiple sites, removing the need for manual configuration, and reducing stress and complexity particularly during time-critical events.

All the new features work in harmony with enterprise-class streaming, recording and administration functionality and come with a fair pricing structure – no annual licence fees or opex burden – to make ISS more affordable than traditional enterprise video management software.

A modular solution, it allows users to choose the right service modules to meet their unique security, operational and compliance needs, meaning customers never pay for functionality they don’t use. The choice of modules includes federated architecture to manage an unlimited number of devices and sites using centralised and local command and control; multi-layered failover and redundancy offering protection against a range of fault conditions; video wall multi-stream management; and IDIS Deep Learning Analytics (IDLA).

“With our latest version of IDIS Solution Suite we are making it easier than ever for users to manage an unlimited number of devices and sites, giving them enterprise-performance without the usual associated price tag or ongoing lifecycle costs,” says Dennis Choi, general manager, IDIS Middle East and Africa (MEA).
