Security Operators Can Now Integrate Best of Breed Cameras, Analytics and Surveillance Systems on One Unified Platform for All Video Information and Applications
LAS VEGAS, NV—ISC WEST—March 28, 2007— 3VR Security, Inc., the pioneer in searchable surveillance systems, today announced that it has opened the 3VR platform with the new 3VR nCode™ application programming interface (API). 3VR nCode enables security operators to seamlessly integrate any analytic, camera, application or data source with the 3VR Searchable Surveillance System™ resulting in unified, highly-effective, searchable surveillance solutions. Partners announcing initial integration with the 3VR platform include Bioscrypt, Brickstream, IntelliVision, piXlogic and Vidient.
"We’re seeing important new camera technologies, analytics and applications emerge at a record rate," said Steve Russell, 3VR CEO. "Integrated surveillance systems have been expensive and out of reach, until now. With 3VR nCode, security professionals no longer have to make compromises between disintegrated solutions because they can integrate the analytics, cameras, applications and data sources that best fit their needs. We’re delighted to be working with so many accomplished partners across the security landscape."
Initial partners supporting the 3VR Searchable Surveillance System through the nCode API represent a broad set of solutions for customers of many different profiles and needs. The 3VR’s cross-analytic search framework combines analytic findings in a logical order to find patterns across any combination of analytics and data. The search framework then delivers findings to the 3VR EventViewer™, a unique visual interface that displays findings in discrete video segments relating to specific security events. The combination of 3VR search, rich analytics and the powerful event interface improves monitoring and expedites investigations. Combinations of partner technologies and 3VR Searchable surveillance yield new security solutions. Examples include:
"The best security strategies comprise several components from different types of cameras, various analytics, purpose-built applications and diverse data sources," said Gavin Long, analyst for USBX. "True integration has been out of reach in scope and expense—so innovation has been inhibited. By opening the platform with the new API and applying video search technology, 3VR is driving innovation in the security industry. The result will be more effective security operations in all types of environments."
Additionally, 3VR nCode API also makes it possible to integrate cameras of various levels of sophistication. 3VR allows video search and analytics to be applied to any video captured and stored on the 3VR. This integration with existing applications and cameras protects customer investments while opening the environment to new applications and solutions. The 3VR nCode API suite is immediately available from 3VR and its partners. 3VR systems are being used in top banks, hotels, retailers, corporations and government organizations.
