New developments from GeoVision

During a recent visit to GeoVision in Taiwan, GeoVision SA managing director Jan Botha was updated on the latest developments in the pipeline. According to Botha, "The planned enhancements will be based on the latest chipset developments by Intel and will boost performance to new levels of speed and recording density. Also included will be a host of new features to make the task of the surveillance operator much easier. Interfaces with the latest PTZ-technology as well as some exiting remote monitoring software are all on the cards, and will be released locally around July 2004," he says.

GeoVision recently developed interface software to access control systems, which are currently being tested at a number of installations. Says Botha, "Systems will store an image of the card user on the access control system database to ensure that the correct holder uses the card to gain entry."

Continues Botha, "Sales of the top-of-the-range GV1000 card, which offers 400 frames per second recording and the ability to add 16 audio channels, have surpassed all expectations. This card, linked to the Surveillance Manager software, negates the usage of a matrix as the system incorporates a software 'matrix' that does the job of the conventional hardware plus much more, as the viewer can set up any number of combinations of views without having to purchase expensive hardware.

"As the changes are software driven, they are easy to create and require no intervention from a technician to re-program the matrix," he says.

GeoVision Inc has also reduced the price of its License Plate Recognition system, which has been adapted to cater for South African conditions and can accommodate all regional plates, handling one, two or four lanes of traffic.
