Video: the camera next to the alarm, not in a separate program
The Video module connects recorders on customer sites with the monitoring centre. The operator watches the picture in the browser, camera events land in the same queue as alarms, and a clip can be saved as evidence.
Feature statusThe module runs on recorders in our test environment. The version for Linux servers is in trials, and we confirm the list of supported recorders before deployment.
Viewing without transcoding
The picture from the recorder reaches the browser in its original quality. The server does not transcode it, so one workstation can watch many cameras without heavy hardware on the server side.
Cameras in a case
On an alarm from a site the operator sees the cameras assigned to that site. A recorder event, for example motion detection, becomes a monitoring event.
Archive and evidence
An archive recording has the recorder clock converted to the centre clock. A chosen clip is saved as evidence with a SHA-256 hash, which lets you show the file has not been changed.
Questions and answers
Do I need a plug-in to view cameras?
No. Viewing works in current browsers without plug-ins.
Where are recordings stored?
On the recorder at the site. Only clips saved as evidence stay on the company server.
