In the security, surveillance and risk management world, information is the currency for any security related department to operate efficiently. The need created is for risk management environments to pull real-time information together in order to be able to effectively report on incidents that are occurring across multi-property systems. This extends across any risk managed environment from corporate security, casinos, retail and the like.

Envisage a “front desk” security information solution which integrates all key transactions performed by the security desk personnel. From this desktop they can manage all visitor transactions, provide log and incident reports, access specified DVR cameras for live and stored images, run facial recognition applications, lost and found transactions, issue work orders, receive alerts from other related security systems and issue or respond to security dispatches.

When you move into a converged system environment, you are able to capitalize on the information that is coming in, from a variety of sources including digital video recording surveillance platforms and use it efficiently. This in itself becomes a return on investment by reducing administration overheads.

Available modular systems enable security managers to select media/video clips from their existing digital video recording surveillance platform and attach the clips to the related incident to maximum reporting results. These types of systems offer a high degree of flexibility, avoid product obsolescence and enable the security director to select only the video clips that are required for their unique operation to collect, manage, and control security / risk related information.  

An Intelligent Digital Video Recorder System delivers a complete expandable real-time digital video recording and playback solution for the security and surveillance marketplace. With easy to use intuitive software available for complete digital video management, these integrated systems allow individuals to quickly and effectively search and isolate video events at multiple locations from any number of cameras.

By employing multiple overlays of best of breed technologies in Digital Video Recording Systems and integrating these into a converged incident reporting platform, security, surveillance and safety environments are able to make better use of information and outcomes. This provides measurable and dramatic efficiency improvements in security and risk data collection, with real-time identification and access, while providing a centralized view of all security-related incident history.

Integration has enabled a high degree of centralization of security information and automation to create a transparent seamless security infrastructure. Systems integration of digital video recording surveillance systems are becoming a standard, providing automated control of media/video capture for incident reporting.

The over all goal of a converged system is to have one program which monitors, integrates and allows reporting on all key security and risk management transactions in one centralized common platform.
