Taking video analytics to the next level, VIVOTEK, the global leading IP surveillance solution provider, has introduced a brand new license plate recognition camera, the IB9387-LPR. Featuring built-in license plate recognition software and edge-computing capability without additional server, the IB9387-LPR can identify license plates from over 70 countries around the world. These, with other features make it a powerful license plate recognition (LPR) system and a cost-effective all-in-one device applied for condominiums, parking access control and stop & go toll systems. VIVOTEK’s IB9387-LPR also offers efficient access control management through black & white lists and multi-site camera centralized maintenance. With a black & white list embedded inside the IB9387-LPR, the control barrier will open the gate when a white list vehicle is detected. On the other hand, a black list vehicle will trigger an alarm and a notification will be sent to security staff. With VIVOTEK’s IB9387-LPR, security staffs of parking lots with multiple entry points no longer need to upgrade system one after another. They can simply upload these lists to a single centralized LPR camera and all the other LPR cameras will download the master list, thus significantly reducing both installation time and maintenance efforts. Thanks to its various application programming interfaces (APIs), third-party systems such as parking management, toll collection and weighbridge systems are able to receive live LPR images with specific country, state, date, time and confidence level from IB9387-LPR. Finally, the sophisticated camera is safeguarded by Trend Micro IoT security, providing proactive protection in cybersecurity. Combining recognition and management technology, VIVOTEK’s IB9387-LPR offers an intelligent, scalable and highly secure standalone LPR system.  

ULISSE EVO THERMAL is a PTZ thermal camera developed to provide a preventative video surveillance system in critical infrastructures, transport, traffic, railways and fire detection applications. This thermal camera offers temperature detection based on the 4 central pixels of the image and the option to raise an alarm based on temperature rules. As well as this, the advanced versions, available upon request, can measure the temperature of a specific object at any point in the image just defining an RoI. ULISSE EVO THERMAL maintains maximum operating efficiency with temperatures from -40°C (149°F), while the IK10, IP66/ IP67/ IP68, NEMA Type 4x and type 6p guarantee maximum protection against dust and bad weather, strong impact and vandalism. ULISSE EVO THERMAL offers unrivalled corrosion resistance, thanks to the special aluminum surface treatments and the techno-polymer used for its construction. The modern, linear design of ULISSE EVO THERMAL combines maximum strength and operational reliability with greatly reduced weight. This means easy and quick assembly and therefore lower installation costs and zero maintenance. ULISSE EVO THERMAL can be installed in different ways, even in the inverted position typical of the speed domes, using the large variety of brackets and adaptors available to satisfy every installation need. The brackets are also available with quick connectors for Ethernet/ PoE, for power and I/O, which allow fast and easy installation and maintenance.  

The compact design of the DC-C4212RX allows for faster and more convenient installation and is the perfect choice for retail and discrete security applications The new DC-C4212RX 2MP micro dome camera is the latest addition to the DirectIP® line up from IDIS, which is South Korea’s leading in-country manufacturer of surveillance technology. The compact design of the DC-C4212RX makes it the best choice for understated, less noticeable installations. The neat aesthetics are ideal for applications where there is a need for unobtrusive surveillance but where comprehensive, high-performance video capture is paramount. Measuring only 86mmx58mm and weighing just 105grams, the DC-C4212RX delivers advanced benefits within its lower profile and is the right choice for high-end locations such as jewellery shops and boutiques, as well as up-market restaurants and luxury hotels. The DC-C4212RX offers all the key benefits that installers expect from IDIS DirectIP dome cameras, including the company’s signature plug-and-play installation and configuration. The elimination of a pigtail cable allows faster and easier deployment. The 3-axis mechanical lens enables rotation and easy angle adjustment, making it an important design feature for precise image capture, particularly when the camera needs to be discretely wall-mounted. The camera can also operate in a wide range of lighting conditions, delivering high performance live monitoring and playback. Other key features include true wide dynamic range (WDR), IR LED illumination up to 15m with day and night ICR, dual codec H.264/ H.265 performance, and easy, plug-and-play integration with IDIS VA in the box. This cost-effective video analytics appliance delivers value-add business intelligence gained from heat mapping, people counting, queue management, and comprehensive reporting. “Our new micro dome is a great camera for installers to work with and it delivers outstanding surveillance capability for customers,” said James Min, Managing Director of IDIS Europe, “It further strengthens our end-to-end offering for retail applications including high street fashion, boutiques, dining, pubs and coffee shops – markets in which we have gained significant market share globally.”  

Johnson Controls has introduces exacqVision VMS v19.06, with updates that include automatic transfer of video after a server failover, a new access control integration, support for ONVIF network loss recording, improved mo tion zone configuration and enhanced network security for mobile app users. The latest version of exacqVision offers enterprise manager customers a more robust failover solution. In a failover scenario, transferring recordings from a spare NVR to the primary is critical, ensuring video can be searched and managed from a single storage location. exacqVision v19.06 automates the transfer of recordings back to the primary server in the event of a server failover, saving time for administrators by transferring video, audio and other data to the primary server automatically once it is reconnected. Additionally, v19.06 presents a much-anticipated integration with the Tyco Software House C-CURE 9000 access control and event management system. By leveraging bi-directional communication between exacqVision and the C-CURE server, users can now control door actions, search video using event metadata, and trigger other actions, all from the exacqVision Client. Support for the network loss recording feature is now available with selected and tested ONVIF Profile G conformant cameras. After a network connection has been re-established, video recorded to a camera’s SD card is automatically pulled into the exacqVision server. Configuration of up to three motion zones, each with its own motion mask and sensitivity settings offers select Illustra camera users an enhanced motion configuration experience. In previous software versions only one motion zone for Illustra cameras could be defined. Exacq Mobile users now have a new option for accessing video on the NVR without complicated incoming firewall rules or exposing the network to incoming connection attempts from unknown sources. A new Exacq cloud-hosted relay service is available to connect mobile app users to video without any inbound connectivity to the NVR, ensuring sites can stay cybersecure without giving up easy access to video.
