TITAN AI Identify has been developed primarily to provide high speed accurate detection, recognition and identification of a subject-of-interest from live or recorded surveillance video. TITAN AI Identify TITAN AI Identify processes live real time or recorded video, automatically interrogating the image information, detecting and extracting facial data TITAN AI Identify processes live real time or recorded video, automatically interrogating the image information, detecting and extracting facial data and converting this into a unique code - more than a barcode - more like a DNA signature. The signature is then used for analysis and matching purposes, tagged and linked to retained video footage and presented to the operator via an easy-to-use graphical interface. In most cases the image information is then discarded, however, in high security applications the image may be retained. AI and Analytical Techniques Utilising the latest Artificial Intelligence, Neural Network and Analytical Techniques, the TITAN AI Identify high performance solution ensures that the subjects-of-interest can be effectively detected and identified quickly and with the minimum of intrusion. In most applications TITAN AI Identify provides fast and accurate multi-subject video interrogation from standard High Definition video cameras, enabling the user to utilise existing surveillance and security infrastructure. The solution can also be applied to video streams from mobile and body-worn devices.

Arecont Vision®, a provider of IP-based megapixel camera technology, has announced that Visual Management Systems Ltd., the developer of the TITAN VISION PSIM (Physical Security Information Management System), has joined the Arecont Vision Technology Partner Program. Visual Management Systems “We are excited to team with Arecont Vision and to be part of their Technology Partner Program”, said Jay Shields, Managing Director for Visual Management Systems Ltd. “Our complete, tailored PSIM solutions help our customers and partners to integrate and manage the largest and most complex security systems in a variety of verticals. The excellent image quality from the Arecont Vision cameras allows our applications to work at peak performance, providing the best solution for our mutual customers.” Visual Management Systems Ltd. is the provider of Titan Vision, the open platform, vendor independent, comprehensive security information management system. Developed in the UK for the protection of critical national infrastructure, police and military installations, airports, oil, and gas assets, the TITAN portfolio has custom deep integration with the Arecont Vision camera family, and is fully ONVIF conformant. Technology Partner Program “Visual Management Systems Ltd. prides themselves in being able to provide significant cost savings, future proof solutions, reliability, and ease of use to their customers,” said Jason Schimpf, Director, Marketing Programs, Arecont Vision. “This is a great fit with the installer friendly, highly reliable, and feature-rich megapixel cameras built by Arecont Vision. Our unique architecture allows new features and capabilities to be added to both new and existing Arecont Vision cameras to extend their useful life, and provides cybersecurity protection that is unmatched in the industry.” Through the Arecont Vision Technology Partner Program, sales, development, and support contacts are established between the two companies to better engage with end user customers and systems integrators, validate integration of new features and technologies, and quickly resolve any customer support issues. As part of the programme, Arecont Vision cameras are in the Visual Management Systems test labs in the UK, while Visual Management Systems software is in the Arecont Vision MegaLab™ test and certification facility in Los Angeles, California.

As more and more security systems and devices become IP networked, it’s important for installers and end-users to consider how their systems will be protected against the possibility of cyber-attacks. Providing a solution to the concerns around cyber security and hacking, UK CCTV design and manufacturing company 360 Vision Technology has partnered with software control provider Visual Management Systems Ltd to provide security operators with an effective solution to guard against IP surveillance system cyber-attacks. Network security measures Without the right level of network security measures in place, system users can be left vulnerable, resulting in exposure to the type of hacking and malware attacks recently hitting the news headlines. A serious security breach of an IP network can lead to system inoperability and network downtime, and at worst, direct access to corporate networks. To provide IP surveillance system installers and operators with peace of mind, when used together, both 360 Vision Technology cameras and Visual Management System Ltd.’s TITAN SECURE PSIM (Physical Security Information Management) system can exceed 802.1x authentication protocols and encryption to provide the ultimate protection for surveillance networks via the latest patent pending technology. Designed to CPNI (Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure) standards, this advanced protocol and encryption technology offers a far higher level of hacking protection. Security and IT managers have a lot to gain by implementing the security advantages of an 802.1x authenticated network Advanced cyber-attack protection Ultimately, security and IT managers have a lot to gain by implementing the security advantages of an 802.1x authenticated network. Conversely, they also have a lot to lose, should they ignore the security risks involved. “As part of our ongoing development of products and our deep integration techniques, we looked closely at the vulnerabilities of current camera systems and found that expert hackers could easily take control of standard network cameras, even ones with HTTPS certification,” says John Downie, Sales Director of Visual Management Systems Ltd. “Employing 802.1x authentication at both the camera and control end, using 360 Vision Technology cameras and TITAN SECURE together is the most effective way to fully secure an IP camera network.” “Designed to protect organisations against hacking and ransomware attacks, the latest 360 Vision Technology IP surveillance cameras include advanced 802.1x encryption protection,” says Mark Rees, Business Development Director at 360 Vision. “We pride ourselves on leading the field in the fast-moving global security camera market. Designed and built in the UK, our high-performance camera technology offers customers proven reliability, advanced imaging performance and effective cyber security - for use within any high, or general level camera surveillance application.”
