Autoidea has utilized ACTi’s free SDK (software development kit) to allow for ACTi IP camera devices and network video surveillance software to be used in conjunction with Autoidea’s PowerDrive POS application software. The ACTi ACM-4201 PoE megapixel cube IP camera was chosen for the video surveillance aspect of this application.

ACTI Press Release Excerpt:

Autoidea offers ACTi IP solution with integrated with Autoidea PowerDrive (POS) by ACTi free SDK. With this integrated solution, customer could go to a particular sales invoice and playback the video for certain sales transaction. It’s easy and convenient for the owners and shop mangers to compare the transaction details with physical goods by footages (video clips).

Bunning’s Warehouse is one of the leading home DIY (Do It Yourself) store and building material suppliers in Australia and New Zealand. It was established in 1886 and has grown to include approximately 280 stores between the two countries. ACTi IP cameras were chosen to secure one store initially with 20 IP cameras being installed. ACTi’s system integration partner, New Zealand based Income Security, was responsible for the IP camera implementation which includes ACTi megapixel IP cameras. The megapixel video resolution capabilities of the ACTi cameras have meet the video quality requirements set forth by Bunning’s Warehouse. With this initial installation seeing much success, there will be more Bunning’s Warehouse locations secured by ACTi IP cameras.

ACTI Press Release Excerpt:
With ACTi’s camera, the excellent video quality and high resolution meet the requirement of Bunning’s Warehouse. Especially the megapixel resolution provides very detail and clearer image than the previous DVR system. It’s safer for the customer and the store owner and can provide evidence when there’s an argument or accident.

Vivotek recently announced via a press release that they have received much positive and valuable feedback from their booth which was present both at the IFSEC India and CPSE 2009 security trade shows. The IFSEC India security show is an annual event held in India with over 250 world leading companies participating. The CSPSE on the other hand is an organization that is now 20 years old which has claimed that the CSPSE 2009 Security Exhibition was the largest of its kind in the world. Vivotek was on hand at both of these events to showcase their latest cutting edge network video surveillance technology which garnered positive feedback from visitors to the Vivotek booth. Vivotek had megapixel network cameras on hand for demonstration and showcased the benefit of H.264 video compression technology and also demonstrated the Vivotek Central Management software which supports all Vivotek network cameras. Vivotek’s successful showing at both of these security events shows that Vivotek has become one of the worldwide leaders in IP network video surveillance.

The ACTi ACM-3401 is a megapixel fixed dome IP camera designed for indoor installation and is capable of working in lighting conditions down to 0.5 Lux. The ACM-3401 features an integrated 4.2mm megapixel lens and will allowing for multi-streaming functionality with both MPEG4 and MJPEG video compression supported. The ACM-3401 also adds PoE support which will allow for easy product installation and reduces installation cost by eliminating the need for a separate power line. With the inclusion of PoE support, the ACM-3401 is capable of receiving power via the same Ethernet cable line that video also propagates through. Bundled with network video surveillance software, the ACTi ACM-3401 comes as a complete package.

Park Central, a 550,440 square-foot office building located in the heart of Denver’s business district and owned by Means-Knaus real estate investment firm, has chosen an analog-IP hybrid video surveillance system for providing protection for the bank, ATMs, restaurants and all other occupants of the building. Through a cooperative partnership between ACTi, NUUO and vForge, a hybrid video surveillance system has been created. The application features a combination of analog cameras, ACTi megapixel IP cameras, and includes vForge’s implementation of the NUUO Hybrid NDVR server. The entire surveillance system is being managed by Universal Protection Services (UPS), listed as one of the top ten security companies in the United States. UPS security guard staff have expressed their support of this new system stating the that the system is easy to use and allows for advanced control of the surveillance system without having to leave the monitoring station.

NUUO Press Release Excerpt:

ACTi calculates, a 3 Megapixel camera can view 3.5 times more of an area than a standard analog camera (640×480). Megapixel cameras have become the future trend in surveillance, and NUUO/vForge fulfills the need to expand the system from analog to megapixel IP cameras and to use resources more efficiently

UPS uses smart detection to more effectively manage the system. Record settings are based on the sensitivity of each camera; set to continuous, motion based, and event based, each camera are chosen to maximize efficiency and guard responsiveness. vForge servers fully implement NUUO smart detection tools; by NUUO 6 events detections with 10+ instant alarms, managers can not only save bandwidth and storage costs by reducing unnecessary recording but also make surveillance more precise. A UPS security guard said–”NUUO gives me control without leaving”.

With the inclusion of the MegaFlash technology Arecont Vision will provide IP cameras capable of capturing megapixel quality snapshots using a high speed shutter that is synchronized with an external strobe light for license plate recognition or intelligent transportation systems applications. The MegaFlash technology will be included in 1.3, 2, 3 or 5 megapixel formats and is expected to be available in the first quarter of 2010. Be sure to check out the full press release on the Arecont Vision website by following the link included below.

Arecont Vision Press Release Excerpt:

“Megapixel CMOS cameras provide exceptional frame-rate and image clarity benefits for license plate recognition. However, the use of CMOS megapixel camera technology in LPR and ITS applications has been impeded by its inability to synchronize with a flash strobe, due to the lack of global shutter in conventional CMOS sensors. Introduction of sophisticated high-speed shutter in the camera effectively addresses this problem, opening exciting possibilities with new applications in the transportation vertical with LPR and ITS requirements. The new compact MegaFlash™ cameras further expand what is already the broadest megapixel product line in the industry,” said Dr. Michael Kaplinsky, CEO, Arecont Vision.
