New software enabling remote surveillance via PDAs and notebooks launched.
This scenario may be fiction, but it’s hardly far-fetched. CoVi Technologies, a developer of high definition video surveillance, introduced its Crystal HD v.2.2 software that, for the first time, gives security personnel the capability to access a single stream of video surveillance remotely through PDAs and four simultaneous streams of video surveillance on a wireless-enabled notebook computer.
“The days of security guards staying in one place and staring at a wall of monitors are over in the video surveillance industry,” said Barry Walker president and CEO, CoVi Technologies. “Security personnel and guards are required to move about as they protect people, facilities and assets. We developed these wireless portable viewing solutions at the request of our customers, and believe that these tools will be a great asset to law enforcement and security professionals. The remote access of video streams will increase safety of law enforcement professionals, and make video data a valuable tool in the apprehension of criminals.” The reality is that in a situation like this the building’s security personnel are able to work with the police in real-time. They can also quickly find and analyze recorded video to aid in the identification, apprehension, and ultimately the prosecution of criminals.
The PDA Viewer capability provides improved situational awareness for law enforcement and security professionals so they can assess a potentially dangerous environment before they arrive, or on the other side of a locked door. Video is available via a Web Browser on Windows MobileTM 5.0 PDA that is connected via a WiFi network. Furthermore, the application is secure, with access to the surveillance network available only to authorized viewers.
QuadView is a Windows XP-compatible viewing client for remote monitoring and surveillance. Users can view up to 4 cameras simultaneously in HD quality, and can view a mix of live and recorded video for post-event video analysis.
