Taking local international

May 2014 Surveillance

With hundreds of thousands of video channels operating effectively, in many different sectors, Cathexis has solutions for all applications. These sectors include government, city surveillance, mining, manufacturing, transport, retail, banking, healthcare, hospitality, warehousing and others.

“We have systems in the Houses of Parliament in the UK; city surveillance in New York State, and the Netherlands; stock exchanges; massive mining houses in South Africa, and Africa; shopping malls in Australia; and hotels in Dubai,” says Gus Brecher, MD of Cathexis Africa. “One of our major successes has been that we treat surveillance solutions as something that should benefit the whole organisation and not be purely used for security and safety.”

Power with ease-of-use

The CathexisVision IP video management platform is a powerful, flexible, scalable software platform, which is used for small and large solutions alike. So, whether you have multiple small sites that you want to consolidate to a centralised management area; or one massive site, with thousands of cameras, Cathexis has a solution to satisfy your requirements. The Cathexis development team has also managed to blend these powerful features with ease-of-use.

Added to this, Cathexis has also developed a solution diagnostics tool, to assist installers and maintenance companies, in analysing the system and network to speed up troubleshooting.

Powerful integration capability

The CathexisVision software has one of the most effective and powerful integration capabilities in the international market. This enables Cathexis to integrate a host of third-party systems, like access control, alarm panels, point-of-sale, fence monitoring systems, money counters, logistics scanning systems, weighbridges, and many others.

“Video verification of system transactions adds huge value to any organisation, and provides value beyond security. This increases the return on investment (ROI) afforded to multiple divisions within the organisation,” adds Brecher.

Cathexis will be exhibiting at IFSEC South Africa in May and IFSEC UK in June this year.
