SubscribeGallagher Security Management Systems (GSMS) - manufacturer of Cardax FT, a specialist hi-tech enterprise-wide security system, and Dedicated Micros (DM), an international market leader in the field of specialist CCTV control equipment, have collaborated to develop a powerful new security solution.
Drawing on the Cardax FT DVR Interface, which provides the ability to connect to third party DVR (or NVR) systems, a high level interface between Cardax FT and Dedicated Micros’ Digital Sprite 2 and DV-IP ranges has been developed. This interface provides an integrated colour DVR and alarms management solution for central alarm monitoring.
Customers using the Cardax FT / DM DVR integration can now use one integrated front end GUI (graphical user interface) that will allow easy live or playback of recorded images associated with specific Cardax FT system activity. This functionality has proven very useful time and again for customers who have accessed information and video relating to particular events and incidents of crime.
The Cardax FT / Digital Sprite 2 and DV-IP integrations offer simple operator configuration set up. Ease of installation and use are core elements of this integration’s success.
Digital Sprite 2 can capture up to 100 pictures per second (100PPS PAL/120PPS NTSC), allowing real-time recording of an alarmed camera while simultaneously recording other cameras in time-lapse mode.
DV-IP Server offers installers and end users a straight forward transition into the world of networkable CCTV solutions, where reliable and easily scalable CCTV is required. It is designed to continue recording and managing alarms even in the event of a network outage. Redundant links are supported so DV-IP Server can still send alarms to the remote operator using an optional secondary path.
Both Gallagher Security Management Systems and Dedicated Micros are working together on future product integration and encourage consultants, system integrators and customers alike to consider this interface for efficient and seamless integration.
