Leading video surveillance and remote monitoring company mobiDEOS Inc. is helping camera and recording manufacturers simplify and expand surveillance solutions for mid-sized to large enterprise and government customers through a common platform that delivers high-quality, remote video feeds to multiple end user devices. The result gives enterprise users a true unified dashboard view, creating a “multiscreen” experience for monitoring video across fixed and mobile devices.

The solution allows security hardware and software vendors — notably for IP cameras, NVRs and DVRs — to deliver a single point of integration between their components and consumer devices via the MobileCamViewer cloud-based application from mobiDEOS. This allows large enterprise businesses and government organisations to monitor multiple locations from a variety of smart phones and tablets; as well as PC and Mac computers, with only a single login stage required across connected devices. MobileCamViewer also provides device management options in response to lost or stolen devices — a common occurrence.

“Security equipment manufacturers are increasingly faced with the challenge of how to provide unified web and mobile access to their enterprise customers with a variety of DVR/NVR models, who have far more complex surveillance operations than consumers, boutique retailers and other small businesses,” said Sri L. Palasamudram, CEO of mobiDEOS, Inc. “This requires a solution that delivers much more than just video feeds to the employees using and monitoring the systems daily.”

The MobileCamViewer Enterprise solution delivers the video quality and multiple windows needed to thoroughly monitor remote locations and make quick, intelligent decisions to security events — while bringing the business and system intelligence needed to understand the effectiveness of the solution across the network. This includes centralised device management, network reporting, HTTPS content encryption and superior bandwidth management through “multiplexing,” which cleanly combines multiple feeds into a single, efficient video stream.

The intuitive setup process also allows enterprise organisations to easily add new cameras, recorders and end devices to the network — ensuring that scalability is not hindered by challenging systems integration. End users further benefit by the flexible feature set of MobileCamViewer beyond live streaming — notably pan/tilt/zoom camera control and “Playback,” which allows users to access recorded video from a server direct from their device and computer screens.

MobileCamViewer supports multiple iOS (iPhone, iPad) and Android smartphones and tablets, as well BlackBerry and Windows Mobile smartphones. The company most recently added support for Kindle Fire and the NOOK Tablet, further strengthen the company’s open-platform philosophy of allowing customers to use their preferred devices.

MobileCamViewer offers secure cloud-based, reliable carrier-grade cell phone-based video surveillance and remote monitoring solutions, providing “anytime, anywhere” mobile video surveillance for virtually every situation. Its compatibility across many smartphones, tablets, cameras, DVRs, NVRs and video servers — as well as simple integration with PC and MAC-based iOS systems — enables MobileCamViewer to comply with both new and existing network infrastructures. The basic MobileCamViewer application is free, with incremental costs for premium service users.
