Integration - the name of the game

August 2004 Integrated Solutions

In the past two years there has been a strong move in security tenders to award them to open architecture solutions. The result is that these clients have been able to choose 'best of breed' products giving them the ability to add to their current systems as upgrades and follow the path of integration. The key to moving with this trend is to ask the questions and check what is available in each area of the market. Vision Catcher specialises in assessing total digital solutions and understanding a company's needs as to where the new technologies are going and what can reasonably be achieved. In recent months Vision Catcher has added to its range of DVRs some diverse options that will give you, as the client, solutions for a wide range of problems.

FleetVu RR - the mobile DVR

Vision Catcher has spent five years developing and manufacturing FleetVu, the mobile DVR solution. A properly shock mounted mobile solution with options for 2, 4, 8, 12 and 16 channels; this DVR has a realtime operating system (RTOS) platform and can be equipped with 40, 60 or 80 GB hard drives. Testing has been successfully completed worldwide in rally cars, trains, trams and other mobile applications.

The products meet all common standards in Europe and North America (Buy America) and approvals include CE, e1 (95/54 EC), EN 50155, IEC 60950:1999 EN 50132-7 for rail vehicles as well as EN 60950:2000, UL 60950.

FleetVu RR interfaces with train and tram networks, monitors, coupling devices, GPS and other systems.

Pro, Elite and Premium DVR

Integrates with point of sale, automatic teller machines, fingerprint and iris readers, automatic number plate recognition and facial recognition. Pro has been supplied to more than 150 service stations with a view to integrating each system into a thin client central control database. It is expected that this system will be rolled out throughout Africa. Premium has been accepted as the stable faster frame rate solution for another major corporate giving integration to MIS and quality of picture on playback.

Chateau - the realtime DVR

Giving frame speeds from 12 fps right up to 25 fps per input. This is the excellently priced option in card and software or complete build setups. True value for money, this system has been accepted as the preferred DVR for several major corporates.

SentryScope - now you can zoom in after capture

Having completed extensive trials at a Premier League football ground in UK this camera system has proved its worth. The camera took a variety of single shots of each stand and was able to zoom in the captured snapshot after the event to check each and every face, their clothing and other key features for the police to identify those responsible for criminal damage. This camera has the options for a range of solutions from retail parking areas, casino parking lots, airport parking areas and more.

Biometrics and management information systems

Vision Catcher has been able to integrate a range of biometrics solutions into MIS. People are now starting to understand the differences between building management systems (BMS) and MIS; therefore, applications and their solutions are growing daily.
