VidSys tells Security Magazine and Zalud’s Blog it has partnered with ObjectVideo to integrate physical security information management (PSIM) technology platforms, enabling more effective real time investigation and handling of security events.
"Technology has moved beyond just reporting events, to products that can help manage and resolve situations in real time. ObjectVideo and VidSys are helping professionals where technology can be most useful - as situations are unfolding - by narrowing the immense flood of data to the immediate and useful information that can make a difference in managing live events," explained VidSys SVP David Fowler. "Intelligent analytics software can provide more accurate and faster responses, saving seconds, saving resources and even saving lives. This partnership is just one more example of industry leaders teaming up to make the hard work of security teams more effective."
The abilities of ObjectVideo OnBoard, which provides automatic detection of a wide range of events and activities, with VidSys's VidShield platform, which integrates input from other physical security and video surveillance devices, helps security teams eliminate false alarms in their surveillance systems, and highlights the important information that helps speeds up response to real situations.
"Increasingly, forward thinking security professionals expect to respond to events as they unfold and before situations escalate," said Brian Eckert, vice president of sales and marketing for ObjectVideo. "Our systems work together perfectly by providing the alerts and required event history that enables a complete real time investigation and response using VidShield." This alert integration also represents the first step toward Vidsys's adoption of the OV Ready standard, a standards-based protocol for how ObjectVideo events can be commonly generated and distributed by any OV-enabled platform, and then displayed within any OV Ready application, such as VidSys VidShield.
As part of the agreement, ObjectVideo has joined the VidSys Interoperability Partner (VIP) program, created to ensure customers receive benefits from their best-of-breed technologies without assuming the traditional infrastructure burden.
