Key Features

Key features for Law Enforcement applications:

• Mobile Applications - SBSMS IP Video solution has been deployed in a number of mobile applications including CCTV monitoring vans and command vehicles.
• Privacy Zones - This is a unique solution to the problem of implementing CCTV Hidden Zones without permanently losing the video which may be needed for evidential purposes in the future.
• Incident Lockout - In the event of an incident a senior operator can log into a ‘Control Center’ workstation and lock down a specific camera or the entire CCTV system.
• Easy Deployment - plug & play IP Camera system for easy nationwide deployments
• Geo-Mapping - recording & managment of GPS locations for Alarms & Incidents & easy visualization
• Alarm & Incident Management - comprehensive end-to-end Alram & Incident managment to efficiently manage large surveillance systems
• Synchronization – SBSMS video and audio is fully synchronized, which makes it an ideal platform for recording interviews and other evidential material.
• Integration - SBSMS solution can be fully integrated with other systems such as access control, perimeter protection, cell call, life signal, intercom and interview recording equipment.

High-End Control Center

SBSMS IP Video systems provide a complete end-to-end solution for security surveillance applications. At the heart of the system is the ‘Control Center’ Security Management Software (SMS). ‘Control Center’ allows an operator to view live and recorded video from any camera on the IP-network and i.e. see its location and alarms directly on a map with GPS location. The combination of ‘Control Center’ and the IP-network create a virtual-matrix, which allows unrestricted switching of video streams around the system.

SBSMS IP Video Wall software allows professional control room video walls to be built to any size at low cost when more LCDs need to be controlled than a single workstation has available connections.

The video wall is managed from Master Control Center workstations through a standard CCTV keyboard. The system can support multiple Masters and up to 98 Slaves giving a maximum video wall size of 9800 video panes.

• Monitors within the video wall can be used to display a variety of information; Video, Guard Tours, Salvos, Site Maps, Alarm Status.
• In addition, information from any third-party application can be displayed e.g. Access Control or Building Management status.

Versatile Video Surveillance / Observation Options

To cater for the needs of our most demanding customers and to provide an effective solution for nationwide surveillance, including secret observations, existing or seperately purchased analogue and thermal cameras can be connected to the system and fully controlled and managed by it. Due to its comprehensive video compression and managment methods, like the effective compression of the video signal, distribution, storage, playback, live connections, security operations, general management etc of SBSMS, the customers can use as well third party cameras (digital, analogue,thermal, hidden, etc.) which are then connected to one of the SBSMS encoders and are then handled as regular cameras to provide an end-to-end fully integrated surveillance & observation system.

Specific channels and cameras can be configured to be only shown, managed and controlled in specific control centers / workstations etc. according to the preferences of the customers and business logic implemented to cater for all departments within a country individually.

Built-In High-End Analytics

Advanced analytics can be used to analyze recorded footage. SBSMS inherited Analytics algorithms provide users with powerful tools to assist in the complex task of security monitoring and control and is the natural, progressive choice for any serious, efficient CCTV surveillance & monitoring system.

Here is a short extract of algorithms and operations featured by SBSMS to virtually setup any sort of surveillance and alarm logic as required for any specific location and application within the surveillance system. SBSMS features i.e.

Analytics algorithms bring significant benefits in both live-monitored and incident review operations, work 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and don’t get tired or lose interest or concentration. Their use allows improved operational performance and an increased workload to be accommodated in a monitoring and control establishment without an increase in staff headcount.

SBSMS features 2 types of analytics where the specific algorithms are taking place:

• Live Video Analytics: SBSMS algorithms analyze live video and identify predetermined events of interest as they happen. Automatically-generated prompts lead to significant improvements in system effectiveness and improvements in incident detection hit rates.

• Recorded Video Analytics: Huge productivity improvements and a boost for morale result from using Video Analytics during the searching of recorded material in post-event analysis. Changing the search variables at will allows the user to sift through vast quantities of recorded material quickly and efficiently. Analytics software then searches for the events requested, saving time and freeing the operator to concentrate on more immediate tasks.
