Hanwha Vision, the global vision solution provider, and Immix, the pioneer in video and event-based monitoring software, have enhanced their longstanding partnership with a deeper integration that supports industry-pioneering AI analytics in video surveillance for Alarm Receiving Centres (ARCs).
The partnership supports a combined vision for security that ensures customers have the latest technologies to meet their evolving needs.
AI improves accuracy and efficiency
ARC operators receive very few false alarms as surveillance systems alert them only to genuine events
By utilising AI analytics in-camera, ARC operators now receive significantly fewer false alarms as surveillance systems alert them only to genuine events and ignore irrelevant motion, for example wildlife, flags and swaying trees. Operator efficiency is improved, with teams receiving more detailed information about each event to assist them with decision-making.
As the AI is available within the camera devices, or “at the edge”, customer sites can now be equipped with powerful AI that is simple to set up for systems integrators, saving time.
Greater situational awareness
The enhanced integration supports a wide range of video analytics including face and audio detection, tampering alerts, object detection (people and vehicles) as well as virtual line-crossing and loitering detection. Forensic search is enabled via the metadata generated by the AI, for improved emergency responses and post-event investigation.
In addition, Network Video Recorder (NVR) playback means operators can carefully review pre and post-event footage and take appropriate action at the time of an event. Furthermore, as the Immix platform connects various different alarm systems such as video surveillance, intrusion, fire alarms and access control into a single interface, alarms can be streamlined to boost efficiency and optimise resources.
Additional features
Two-way audio and relay control is now available for operators to use as an intrusion deterrent
Two-way audio and relay control is now available for operators to use as an intrusion deterrent, for example at perimeters, and to offer additional services such as entry management. Direct camera communication means devices can directly communicate with ARC software, to support rapid deployment cameras that require a remote connection. As a result, pioneering security capabilities are more accessible while deployment is streamlined.
John Lutz Boorman, Head of Product and Marketing at Hanwha Vision Europe, said, “Hanwha Vision and Immix are committed to meeting the evolving needs of customers and mitigating the changing risk landscape. Our latest integration makes it easier than ever for control rooms and operators to access cutting-edge AI in video surveillance that improves responses, reduces false alarms, and optimises resources.”
New managed security services
“Immix is very excited to announce yet another product integration with Hanwha Vision,” stated Immix CEO Chris Brown. “Hanwha Vision has been a very strong and trusted partner for many years now and Immix is pleased to be able to offer our customers a vast array of solutions from their portfolio that can enable new managed security services and foster growth opportunities for the industry as a whole.”
“Immix prides itself in giving our customers as many choices as possible and Hanwha Vision certainly affords us that capability with such a diverse product menu."
