3VR Announces Integration With Digital Monitoring Products
3VR Security Inc. recently announced a new integration between the company’s intelligent video management platform and intrusion and access control
solutions from Digital Monitoring Products (DMP).
When banks and retailers experience user-generated nuisance alarm events emergency services
are still required to respond. In some cases, this can result in fines and non-response policies
that endanger the business in the event of an actual alarm event.
“Our customers were being inundated with false alarms from user errors with their intrusion
systems,” said Stephen Russell, CEO of 3VR. “With DMP, we’ve solved this problem, saving
customers money and improving operational efficiency.”
The integrated solution allows valuable alarm and access control data to flow through
3VR’s intelligent video management system. The 3VR system is then able to react to the alarm
signal in a wide variety of ways, including:
- Increasing the frame rate of video capture in the alert region.
- Alerting the appropriate personnel via video monitor panel and/or e-mail.
- Creating video events associated with the time, place and faces surrounding the alarm
event for easy export to law enforcement.
- Conducting cross-enterprise searches associated with any ID card, individual, alarm
point or alarm area.
“By integrating 3VR’s sophisticated video technology with alarm and access control
information, we can immediately raise our customers’ expectations around the value a security
system can deliver to their business,” said Bill Jackson, president of DMP. “We are now able to
provide simple, actionable data, and the new forensic powers and intelligence that allow our
personnel to respond most effectively to security information and video.”
The integration, which is available now to customers of 3VR and DMP, was built on the 3VR
Developer Network, an open integration platform announced in 2007 that gives security
technology companies access to 3VR’s search engine and video management platform.
“We consistently strive to provide our customers and partners with a powerful platform on
which to build intelligent, integrated security solutions,” said Tom Falhaber, platform
development director for 3VR. “Businesses are only able to make the most intelligent decisions
when they are presented with all the necessary information, and we are proud that our
security technology, with its sophisticated search and analytics capabilities, is now putting this
power at our customers’ fingertips.”
