"As an open enterprise class network video management software platform, Avigilon Control Center 4.0 offers support for third party cameras and IT compliance without compromise," said Dave Tynan, vice-president of global sales at Avigilon. "By further enhancing the ability to capture and manage surveillance video, Avigilon Control Center 4.0 ensures that the best evidence is preserved."
"By elevating its end-to-end HD video surveillance system with the introduction of Avigilon Control Center 4.0, Avigilon continues to demonstrate its understanding of marketplace needs," commented Dilip Sarangan, analyst with Frost and Sullivan. "Avigilon Control Center 4.0 will satisfy the IT community and demanding surveillance professionals with features like backward compatibility, a truly open platform, advanced data management and audio recording, while continuing to deliver exceptional video quality and forensic efficiency."
Avigilon Control Center 4.0 includes the following new features and benefits:
Third Party IP Camera Support
Avigilon Control Center 4.0 will record and manage video from a wide range of third party IP cameras and analog encoders for the purpose of building hybrid systems and preserving existing assets. Management of surveillance video from third party cameras and analog encoders will be in their native compression format, including H.264, MPEG4, or MJPEG.
Audio Recording
The new audio recording functionality allows users to record audio streams and associate the recorded audio with corresponding video, providing security professionals with an extra layer of security for improved overall protection. The ability to record audio synchronized with HD video allows institutions, such as correctional facilities, to take advantage of HD surveillance while recording the audio required to secure their facilities. The Avigilon Control Center software will be able to record audio directly from Avigilon HD Dome Cameras, Avigilon Analog Encoders, and compatible third party IP cameras.
Advanced Data Management
Advanced data management features include the ability to redundantly record surveillance video from all cameras to multiple NVRs for a complete live mirror of all data. Failover NVRs record video automatically in the event of an issue with an existing NVR, while simple schedulable backup and restore capabilities make it easy to backup and restore either a subset or all surveillance video recorded to an NVR to another storage device.
Improved Event Bookmarking and Management
Improved event bookmarking and management features facilitate searching and allow bookmark protection to permanently preserve bookmarked events when an NVR overwrites the oldest recorded video. Bookmarked meta-data will also be extended to include additional indexed information regarding an event to facilitate rapid searching and review of recorded HD surveillance video.
Avigilon Control Center 4.0 with HDSM
Avigilon Control Center is the award winning HD network video management software with High Definition Stream Management (HDSM) that delivers full situational awareness and detail, leading to faster response times, reduced investigation times, and superior overall protection. Avigilon Control Center is available as stand alone software or pre-installed and configured on Avigilon HD NVRs. Avigilon Control Center is a secure and reliable open enterprise class network video management platform for capturing, managing, and storing high definition surveillance video while efficiently managing bandwidth and storage.
