An Internet-based visitor management system called iVisitor has been developed by access specialist Kalamazoo Security Print

Access control

Kalamazoo Security Print has launched iVISITOR, a securely-hosted, web-based visitor management service designed for multi-site businesses. The system makes use of a secure web server, located off-premises, and requires no installation of software or additional licences for extra end users.

Accessible from any computer at any time of the day, users can enter a visitor's details and pre-book their arrival time into the system via an online portal. Upon arrival, the visitor is checked in and provided with a printed identification pass, while at the same time iVisitor automatically sends an e-mail to notify the host of their guest's arrival on site.

Due to the structure of this sophisticated, secure online service, security managers working in industries such as finance and the law can deploy iVisitor with 100% confidence that other companies located within their multi-tenanted building will not have access to confidential information held on their databases (thereby helping organisations comply with standard industry regulations).

Indeed, iVisitor has already been successfully deployed at high profile locations in the United States for GE. End users specifying this solution benefit greatly from continual free upgrades and fixed, affordable monthly payments.

Sometimes, seeing everything is believing..

CCTV

Viseum has designed a range of software to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of CCTV systems, many of which require highly-skilled operators to monitor approximately 50 cameras simultaneously.

Due to the sheer volume of information operators are required to process, it's estimated that a proportion of these cameras will not be continually watched, leaving some locations with poor surveillance.

Viseum's 鈥榁irtual Operator' technology was developed to cover these lower priority cameras, increasing crime detection to levels said to be "unmatched" by any other automated solution. The system works by using an array of reference cameras to control a PTZ camera, directing it to specific activity in the areas covered. The system is capable of seeing further than the human eye, so it is able to detect events occurring a significant distance away.

The clever combination of panoramic and detailed recording is hugely valuable to the end user. Superior evidence of any crimes will be captured and stored.

Upgrade for Sirrus console assists end users

Digital CCTV

ANPR

Sirrus' VideoConsole CCTV viewing software has been upgraded to enable the Vega camera for Automatic Number Plate Recognition to be integrated and viewed within an existing IP CCTV network.

End users of digital CCTV surveillance can now choose the convenience and quick deployment that the Vega offers, while combining it with Sirrus IP network video recorders as well as other internal and external CCTV cameras.

The Vega camera's video is viewable on a screen alongside other video from IP-connected and legacy cameras via Sirrus' VideoConsole network camera client software.

Meantime, Sirrus' IPVR family of network video recorders are compatible with IP network CCTV cameras from a range of manufacturers. They are plug-and-go recorders designed for unmanaged, nil-maintenance installations where a number of cameras (up to 24 per recorder) need to be reliably recorded 24/7.

The VideoConsole software also allows the number plate viewing process to continue even while the Vega is analysing registration plates, because it retains a 鈥榖ackground' cameo view in its catalogue (the smaller images surrounding the main view in the image reproduced above, left) at rather low refresh rates.
