Monitoring on a global scale

To help organisations capture and manage high-quality security video over their IT networks, Lenel Systems International is working with Sony Electronics to offer an integrated IP-based networked video surveillance, archive and storage solution.

The solution will marry Sony's portfolio of IP-addressable security cameras and StorStation (storage devices) with Lenel's OnGuard software to run on global high-bandwidth networks. The effort is considered a first of its kind for the security/surveillance industry, the companies said. By bringing together these two companies, the effort will offer a complete solution to organisations seeking to build an enterprise-wide digital surveillance system.

"Because it is critical to have unfettered access to security and surveillance video, organisations are rapidly adopting open-circuit networking systems and transitioning from closed-circuit monitoring," said James Sandy, vice president of security and visual imaging products at Sony Electronics' Business Solutions and Systems Company. "In working with Lenel, we are offering a solution that can be used in almost every conceivable security application, including building security, visitor management, physical asset management and alarm monitoring."

Sony's IP-addressable cameras includes: the SNC-RZ30N pan, tilt, zoom network camera with its built-in web server for remote viewing and capturing of high-quality video; and the SNC-VL10N vari-focal camera featuring TCP/IP, FTP, DHCP and Simple Management Transfer Protocol networking capabilities. Sony's StorStation storage devices provide automated and centralised data backup and recovery for enterprise-level storage environments.
