Bosch Security Systems’ System 3T

Bosch Security Systems’ System 3T Building Management System integration software is designed to provide seamless integration of alarm, CCTV, access, life safety and building management functions using a common Internet or Intranet network server. Dissimilar systems now can “talk” to one another via the OPC cross-platform standard. Because System 3T uses a single database to share information among all network assets, data needs input only once and existing databases can be incorporated into the system. Bosch says System 3T also will save money on computer and peripheral hardware because such network resources are shared effectively between all network assets.

Pelco has released its new VMX300 and VMX300-E Video Management Systems, calling the products ideal for people seeking to combine analog and IP-based video devices.

VMX300 systems let users keep their existing analog infrastructure while enabling new IP video devices to be viewed and controlled from a common user interface.

VMX300 controls and monitors up to 100 cameras, while the VMX300-E works with up to 2,000 cameras.

The VMX300 and VMX300-E both can be configured to display a combination of IP-based and analog video through two VGA monitors.

The VMX300 systems come pre-loaded with server and client software, Pelco device drivers and licenses for up to 10 Pelco cameras. Additional licenses can be purchased separately to accommodate higher camera counts. A system administrator installs facility maps that identify the locations of cameras, domes and pan/tilt/zoom devices. The VMX300 systems also provide DVR and NVR control, including playback of recorded video and alarm management.

IQinVision Inc. has released its IP video camera, IQeye6, calling it the first such device to outperform National Television System Committee standards in resolution and frame rate. User-adjustable crop and viewing windows optimize resolution and frame rate while minimizing storage and bandwidth requirements. The technology features 55 images per second, while HDTV images stream at 22 images per second.

The IQeye6 has a 1280 x 1024 progressive scan CMOS sensor that provides ultra high-resolution images. It uses JPEG compression and IQinVision’s own Image Processing Operating System to stream more than 20 million pixels per second. The company recommends server-based IP video systems for optimal viewing and recording. IQeye6 is network-stable using core IP technology.

IR Recognition Systems Inc., the biometric component of Ingersoll- Rand’s Security & Safety Group’s Electronic Access Control Division, has unveiled its new FingerKey DX fingerprint access control reader, a low-cost biometric alternative designed for smaller user populations.

The FingerKey DX reader includes a keypad and LCD display. Memory and Ethernet upgrades, as well as an optional proximity reader, are available.

To access an area, a user enters a PIN code or presents a proximity card, which calls up a template to scan. Then, the user places a finger on the FingerKey reader for verification against that local template.

Verification takes less than two seconds.

Once a user is verified, the FingerKey outputs the ID number in a Wiegand format to an access control panel. Both standard and proprietary formats are supported. Alternate facility codes can be sent on invalid verifications and other alarm conditions. A large red, green and amber light bar gives users feedback.

Two fingers per user can be scanned into the system. The system was created to support 50 users, but memory in the reader can be upgraded to handle 100 users. FingerKey units also can be linked via an RS-485 network to share enrollment information. The technology does not require a PC, as the enrollment reader automatically downloads to other FingerKeys in the network.

Panasonic Security Systems has introduced a series of network server solutions that makes way for the integration of IP addressable and conventional analog cameras, allowing security professionals to use advanced analog cameras systems in a networked environment.

The HYB (Hybrid) Series Network Server and PSS Server are fully compatible with Panasonic’s hybrid and analog camera systems, and digital video recorders.

The HYB Network Server Series is available in 4-channel, 8-channel and 16-channel analog input versions. The 16-channel fully integrated server/software system can address up to 256,000 IP and IP/analog cameras with open architecture for future enhancements.

Key features include recording up to 240 images per second, 160G to 750GB of internal hard drive capacity, full pan/tilt/zoom control, advanced alarm functions, digital video recorder control and full matrix switching capabilities.

The HYB Network Server Series has what Panasonic refers to as four unique features. Intelligent Motion Search allows operators to search for motion events after recording is complete. Intelligent Motion Positioning lets the motion programming of a single camera trigger a series of motion events on any number of cameras. Upon copying files, the system automatically downloads player software so files can be reproduced on any computer in a secure format.
