Launched at ASIS 2009 in Anaheim, CA, the Avigilon Control Center HD Point-of-Sale (POS) Transaction Engine is a new add-on feature to the award winning Avigilon Control Center Network Video Management Software (NVMS).

Meeting the increasing demands for better video quality, Avigilon Control Center HD POS Transaction Engine helps customers reduce shrinkage and theft, and address compliance requirements, by enabling security professionals to more quickly and successfully find video surveillance footage associated with a specific transaction. The transaction engine provides customers the ability to link vital business intelligence with HD video, helping to analyse operations and improve bottom line performance.

"With the current economy, all departments within an organisation are focusing on performance," said Dave Tynan, vice-president of global sales and marketing at Avigilon. "The new Avigilon Control Center HD POS Transaction Engine is a highly effective tool for associating any character based transaction data-such as point of sale data and bar code data-with HD video to provide indisputable and instantaneous evidence to deal with liabilities, shrinkage, service level improvement, and process efficiencies."

Avigilon Control Center HD POS Transaction Engine includes the following features and benefits:

• Multiple streams of transactions from devices such as cash registers, automated teller machines (ATM), or bar code scanners can be associated to a single HD camera to cover a larger field of view
• Transactions are linked to associated video to allow instant review, including accessing individual transactions using a powerful search function
• Transaction information is simultaneously displayed alongside live or recorded video
• Exception filtering and reporting allows the triggering of events when transactions match certain criteria. These events can be mapped to on-screen alerts, e-mail alerts, and other system events.
