HeiTel by Xtralis remote monitoring & CMS solutions

1 January 2016 Surveillance

For more than 20 years, the HeiTel by Xtralis core competence has been remote video transmission and recording along with video alarm management solutions. The consistent optimisation of HeiTel products for both a broad range of CCTV applications and the specific needs of professional central monitoring stations (CMS) has made HeiTel the best known brand for software-based video alarm solutions worldwide: Over 600 CMS use HeiTel software solutions and more than 90 000 systems are in operation.

Don’t just record crime. Prevent crime

With ordinary video surveillance systems, it is expected that they will record the pictures delivered by the video cameras, and that these recordings can then later be analysed for evaluating or explaining crimes and other incidences.

HeiTel video technology follows the rule of thumb of not only recording property and capital crimes, but also being proactive in preventing them and the associated damage they cause. Here, video intervention plays a key role. In contrast to traditional intervention that uses task forces (manned guarding, police etc.) that must first reach the site under surveillance; video intervention can be applied immediately.

With the help of high quality live pictures and audio transmission to the site, potential perpetrators can, for example, be addressed directly and be chased away with the use of audible verbal warnings from operators. Consequently, damage to the site can be prevented from the start.

Remote monitoring

HeiTel VideoGateways’ core function is not merely about recording, transmitting, analysing and presenting video by using all major transmission mediums, but the system interfaces and logical functions also allow complete integration in a comprehensive security system, full integration with intrusion detection systems and signaling to central monitoring stations with video intervention capability.

The RMG family supports up to 8 channels of video content analytics depending on the RMG platform. The Xtralis IntrusionTrace application provides intrusion detection using video analytics specifically designed for 24/7 outdoor operation in challenging environments. IntrusionTrace is available for remote download and deployment via Xtralis Xchange.

From free apps to CMS solutions

The CamControl software family and the event management system software offer the right application for everyone, ranging from free-of-cost smartphone application for private users to the MultiView videowall software or the server/client-based video alarm management system for professional monitoring centers.

The HeiTel SDK (Software Development Kit) and HeiTel Web API (Application Programming Interface) also enable the integration of HeiTel video technology with existing third-party central station alarm management and video alarm management software.

HeiTel's own technology such as HTconnect, HTcompress or HTprotect standardise cross-product customer requirements with strict compliance of data protection right aspects and simultaneously certify intelligent and innovative communication technology. HTconnect is an innovative communication technique that overcomes the problems of both dynamically assigned IP addresses and of firewalls that the customer is reluctant to configure. Additionally it provides constant end to end monitoring of the IP signal between monitoring station and our VideoGateways & RMGs.
