How the CCTV Hub can Protect Vacant Property
The Impact of Vacant property Government data released in November 2022 reveals over a quarter of a million long-term empty residential properties across Britain, excluding the thousands of empty commercial properties. Vacant property refers to the building being devoid of people and belongings. This results in a structure that is vulnerable to problems including vandalism, trespassing and arson; often leading to expensive restoration costs. How The Hub Helps Protect Vacant Property Alongside other physical security measures, integrating a CCTV system can aid in deterring and detection of unwanted criminal activity. The rapid and re-deployable 5G / 4G CCTV Hub from Redvision is ideally suited to provide this protection due to its 5G / 4G connectivity, detection and monitoring capabilities, and... Read More
Why Metadata is Better Data for Video Analytics
Metadata technology from the VMS1000 video management system, powered by Digifort, can help create innovative products for physical security, surveillance, and business intelligence applications. In this article, we explore how metadata works and how it can help protect sites and increase the effectiveness of CCTV applications. What is Metadata? “Metadata” is a term used to describe data that ‘informs’ us about other data. In surveillance applications, it is the data relating to changes or events in a video stream. Metadata provides identity and context to the events, so they can be categorised, sorted, searched, and recovered more easily and provide information such as: Real-time alarm triggering and notifications. Post-event, forensic searching. Statistical analysis and reporting. Driving event or motion recording... Read More
The VMS1000 Digifort system delivers Cost-effective, Failover options using ‘Buddy’ Server Architecture
The Redvision VMS1000 video management and analytics solution, powered by Digifort software, offers market-leading, simple to deploy, efficient failover options. It must be noted that for any system to survive server and / or network failure the network itself must have redundant routes, to mitigate failure of the primary routes. ‘Failover’ is an important security function in server-based CCTV and enables multiple aspects of the system to be switched to a backup ‘failover’ server, should the live server, or the network path to it, fail for any reason. Since additional backup servers are required, failover adds cost to a CCTV system. This has limited its deployment to mission critical applications and those with higher budgets. However, VMS1000’s approach to failover... Read More
