DMP has launched VK VMS, a cloud-based integrated video management solution that adds live video viewing and on-site device management to the company’s Virtual Keypad platform.

The launch also introduces new AlarmVision subscription tiers and XV Plus Gateways, expanding DMP’s video platform for professional monitoring applications.

VK VMS is activated through the new XV Plus Gateway hardware and can be offered independently of DMP’s AlarmVision technology. The company has restructured AlarmVision into a suite of analytic subscriptions, giving dealers additional options for deploying and quoting video solutions.

“We heard our dealers clearly,” said Ken Francis, DMP Executive Vice President of Video Solutions. “They want more video management functionality and flexibility in how they deploy and quote AlarmVision. VK VMS and the new AlarmVision options are a direct response to that feedback.”

With VK VMS separated from AlarmVision, dealers can build video systems based on individual monitoring needs. VK VMS can be used for surveillance and video management while AlarmVision provides intelligent detection. The two can also be combined to add continuous recording to zone-linked events, allowing users to detect and classify activity, review footage and preserve video for future investigation.

DMP has replaced its previous AlarmVision subscription with two options: AlarmVision Plus and AlarmVision Pro. The tiers allow dealers to match video intelligence and cost to individual customer needs while providing features including Dynamic Slicing and contextual description.

“AlarmVision Plus is the natural next evolution of the award-winning AlarmVision technology,” said Brad Tucker, Vice President of Product Management and Support at DMP. “Designed with VUE Plus Cameras in mind, the subscription allows cameras to serve as zones within the alarm system, enabling smart detection and scene awareness.”

AlarmVision Pro builds on those capabilities with AI that understands activity in context, generates detailed event descriptions and enables users to search recorded video using natural language and specific attributes. Users can search for a person based on characteristics such as clothing, appearance, activity or location rather than manually reviewing hours of footage.

Dynamic Slicing preserves full-resolution image detail for earlier detection at greater distances.

The expanded Gateway family includes the XV Plus-20, XV Plus-80 and rackmounted XV Plus-80R. The XV Plus-20 supports up to 20 rated camera megapixels and includes 1 TB of video storage. The XV Plus-80 and XV Plus-80R support up to 80 rated camera megapixels and include 4 TB of storage, with desktop and rackmount options available.

All three Gateway models are designed to simplify installation by eliminating the need for inbound ports, port forwarding or a separate VPN appliance.
