Dallas, TX– October 12, 2010 – Physical security innovators AquilaVision, IPVision Software, ISONAS Security, and Jemez Technology are joining together to create and showcase a complete enterprise security environment during the ASIS conference occurring this week. This unique group of companies was forged by a common vision to deliver dramatically more effective security systems at lower costs by applying proven IT / networking system architecture capabilities not available in legacy vendors’ products.
The architecture enables organizations to more readily deploy and use wired and wireless IP-based security solutions that are easier to configure, operate, and maintain through a combination of fewer servers and superior networking technology capabilities that continue to provide investment protection for many existing third party products. This includes video surveillance, access control, intelligent video image reconnaissance, and advanced event management and instantaneous notification. The result is a more responsive security umbrella that can be expanded to more places with greater flexibility and reliability, similar to the impact of countless IT-enabled business applications, including voice and video communications.
“In the transition to IP-based security technology, physical security integrators and end-users have had to use sub-optimal implementations of IP-based products that were often more expensive and complicated to use—and in some cases less secure than older analog technologies,” observed security consultant Ray Bernard, co-developer of Best Practices for IP Security Systems. “The legacy technology interests and focuses of many manufacturers continued to forward much of the status quo, and perpetuated the use of outdated system architectures—even in IP-enabled products and systems. Now, several companies without legacy technology constraints have taken a clean sheet approach to security technology architecture that utilizes proven technology and architectural concepts to solve these problems and enable new capabilities in a future-proof approach. They want to gain customers by empowering integrators and end-users, rather than locking them into proprietary closed solutions,” Bernard concluded.
Using distributed intelligence, ISONAS reduces deployment and operational costs associated with building access control systems. IPVision Software significantly reduces surveillance costs by virtualizing recording functions, thereby eliminating the need for traditional network / digital video recorders. Moreover, security responsiveness is increased by delivering bi-directional Visual Security Instant Messages to PCs and phones. As a cost-effective upgrade to all video surveillance systems, Jemez Technology’s state-of-the-art video image reconnaissance (VIR™) products provide dramatically enhanced perimeter and area security using existing IP or analog cameras. With highly accurate threat detection and tracking capabilities, it works in all lighting and weather conditions. Aquilavision’s real-time forensic security analysis and notification system uses multiple and simultaneous methods to communicate, including machine-to-machine, voice calls, SMS, or email. As hosted services, these companies provide a more flexible, effective, and responsive solution for video and other sensor-based systems. Various providers of cloud-based technologies and services can provide the real-time streaming of video and instant messaging to a massive number of different devices that are deployed almost anywhere to complete the architecture. In summary, these technologies and products help security operations to focus more on their core responsibilities, and less on configuring and managing complexities of the systems they use.
“Our customers are thrilled to have a complete, best-of-breed set of security solutions that are fully interoperable, and that maximize all the capabilities of their security investments, while also reducing cost and complexity,” concluded Mark Felberg, CEO of IPVision Software.
These four physical security innovators, along with an undisclosed large service provider and networking company are hosting a three day reception on October 12-14, 2010 at the Dallas Ritz-Carlton, conveniently located near the Dallas Convention Center where the 56th ASIS International Seminar and Exhibition will be held. To schedule an advance appointment, please send an email to ASISmeeting@IPVisionSoftware.com or contact a representative from any of the participating companies.
About AquilaVision Corporation
Born out of the need to notify law enforcement of offender activities in the United States, AquilaVision Corporation’s patent pending OTTER intelligent software system monitors data 24/7. Based on the client’s needs, OTTER monitors client thresholds based on their business rules, and then takes appropriate notification action. OTTER monitors the client’s critical data from any data source, any operating system, or sensor and immediately notifies via any communication device – all without human intervention. It uses multiple, simultaneous methods to communicate, including machine to machine, voice calls, SMS or email. It is easy for OTTER to notify just one or thousands of people when important events occur. These maximized strengths improve a client’s bottom line, customer satisfaction and productivity. OTTER – Monitors continuously, Detects immediately, and Alerts instantaneously More information about AquilaVision is available at www.aquilavision.com or by calling 406-532-3260.
About IPVision Software
IPVision Software provides an easy to deploy and use video surveillance platform that delivers unparalleled camera and storage scalability while significantly reducing initial and ongoing system costs. These benefits are achieved by leveraging an open, but inherently different architecture from the 50 year old CCTV technology used by all DVR and NVR products. IPVision Software’s Virtual Video Recorder™, VVR™ can save customers 25% to 66%, including organizations with distributed site challenges. The VVR is a complete software-only video management solution that centrally configures, and manages third party cameras or video encoders, video recordings, event messages and storage devices.
