Torrance, CA, March 28, 2007 – Last year AMAG Technology entered the security market with its brand new Symmetry Video Management Software and Symmetry Edge Network Video Server (ENVS®). Released this year at ISC West are several new features that improve the performance and functionality of Symmetry Video.
Symmetry Video's enhanced recording features allow users to record video from IP cameras just seconds before and after an event rather than in complete minutes. A few seconds can be the difference between recording or missing an important event.
Guards can take advantage of improved features within Symmetry Video’s Identity Check.
• Guards can compare a live ID badge photo with a stored ID photo to see if the person using the card is the same person stored in the computer.
• Control up to four doors and cameras from a single PC.
• Guards can control doors and provide manual restrictions when necessary.
• Guards can manually search for a card holder and his transaction log when a person does not have their card.
For large companies, guards can view a second virtual matrix on a PC providing a maximum of 72 cameras displayed on a screen.
A new rack mounted Symmetry Edge Network Video Server (ENVS®) has been released that provides eight channels of MPEG-4 in a 1U enclosure. The new rack mountable ENVS optimizes precious rack space while providing easy installation and connectivity to network and video communications.
"Symmetry’s advanced features and easy-to-install rack mount enclosure provides our customers with an even more progressive video option that is deeply embedded into our complete Symmetry Product Portfolio," said AMAG Technology, President, Bob Sawyer.
Symmetry’s new enclosure provides the highest ratio of readers per square foot. The new CAB5 16 reader enclosure allows you to get the most of out of limited space. The enclosure is available with an eight reader M2150 8DBC installed, however, an additional eight reader M2150 8DBC intelligent controller can be added to provide a full 16 reader capability.
Symmetry Video now supports the new Axis Network camera modules including the 212 Virtual PTZ camera, and the Axis 295 joystick that provides PTZ for all camera types including ENVS and DVR connected cameras. Additional new Symmetry Video Management and Symmetry ENVS features:
• Audio monitoring is supported for audio enabled network IP cameras.
• Cluster aware versions of Symmetry Video Management software and additional Storage Management Servers are now released.
• Pan and tilts are smoother when zooming on a variable speed PTZ camera.
• Support for pixilated or black Privacy Zones for static CCTV cameras of any type.
• Integrates with Johnson Controls’ DVN 3000 and DVN 5000 DVRs.
• Integrates with Verint’s Nextiva video product line.
