Natural Support for Distributed Architectures

Transportation networks, such as the railways, span vast areas but must be operated as a single video security entity. Cameras are widely distributed. Video consumers are located close to the cameras and at remote central facilities. For example, in a railway network, security operators at each station must be able to view video from cameras. At the same time, central security personnel needs to be able to consume video remotely. Our solutions lend themselves naturally to such distributed deployment and consumption needs.

Distributed Recording

Relying on a single recording source is not adequate. When recorders are positioned close to their respective cameras, centrally-located users might encounter difficulties retrieving video data across extended distances, with their experience being heavily reliant on network quality. Additionally, the security of the recorders themselves could be compromised. Conversely, if the recorders are centralized, local security personnel could experience unnecessary latency due to round trip delays, also potentially monopolizing network bandwidth.

The logical solution to these issues is a dual recording system. We are optimally equipped to facilitate dual recording for enhanced efficiency and security.

User Based, Per-Camera Source Priority Selection

Local users should primarily access video content from local servers, and central users from central servers. However, each should also have the ability to seamlessly switch to the alternative source, should their primary source be unable to provide the required data. Our solution, employing user-based, per-camera, source priority selection, enables this seamless and efficient data access.

De-Risked Software/Hardware Updates

Our support for Federated Architectures enables IT to take a site completely offline during software or hardware updates, without impacting situational awareness. This allows administrators to compartmentalize the update process, limiting the impact of human mistakes. 

For example, in a railway network, each station can be upgraded separately followed by a central site upgrade, all the while without the loss of video.

Redundant Camera Management

Transport networks often have thousands of cameras, and managing camera redundancy becomes a big task. We offer tools designed to simplify this process, thereby making IT administrators' efforts more efficient.

Synchronization Tools

Siloed data often results from a redundant infrastructure. Our robust synchronization tools streamline the process, simplifying your information management tasks.

24/7 Support

Our customers value our 24/7 swift support, taking comfort in the knowledge that we're always available whenever they require assistance.
