Example of Multi-Site Surveillance
Imagine a scenario – there are 8 supermarkets located around the city, each of them containing 16 cameras and one network video recorder. By using ACTi NVR servers you get all the necessary functions and it is totally for free within 16 channels. Now that you have 8 NVR servers recording videos from total of 128 cameras across the city, you might want to be able to access them all through a single display in the headquarters. It is now possible with newly released ACTi CMS software that supports unlimited number of ACTi NVR servers and allows unlimited number of users to access the centralized live view of CMS.
Major Functions of ACTi CMS
‧Live view layouts – it is possible to group specific cameras from different NVR servers into one CMS layout, for example the entrance cameras. You can even use an automated layout tour function to switch between the camera groups.
‧Receive events from all NVR servers – video motion detection, passive infrared sensor and other alarm events from NVR sites will all be listed in CMS live view monitor together with the convenient one-click playback function.
‧PTZ control – you can operate with all the PTZ cameras directly from CMS.
‧Dual Stream – one of the main values of ACTi unified solution is the fully integrated dual stream system – while NVR servers are recording full resolution stream 1 from the camera for high quality evidence, the live view at NVR or CMS site can be done by the stream 2 from the camera with smaller resolution in order to reduce the traffic to remote site as well as reduce the loading of the computer that handles the live view.
‧E-map – you can use the area maps of all the NVR sites together with camera icons and mini live views for convenient navigation in CMS. This way it is very easy to track the suspicious person who is walking from one camera view to another.
‧Two-way audio – it is possible to hear the sound of all audio supported cameras and it is possible to talk to those cameras from the control room as well, in order to assist or warn somebody.
‧Other functions – once you start using CMS you will discover many other convenient functions, such as synchronized playback, manual recording, manual snapshots and much more.
