IndigoVision Integration Certified by Software House

  • Jul 29, 2011

IndigoVision, manufacturer of end-to-end IP Video security solutions, recently released a new integration module for Software House C•CURE 9000 access control. This supports C•CURE 9000 versions 2.0 and 2.01 and has been tested and certified by Software House for use with SMS 4, IndigoVision’s security management system platform.

This integration allows events and alarms from C•CURE 9000 systems to be sent across the IP network to Control Center, IndigoVision’s video management software (VMS). Control Center has advanced alarm management and is the ideal place to consolidate alarms from multiple systems, providing users with a single unified operator interface. Access control alarms can automatically trigger events in Control Center, such as moving a PTZ camera to a pre-set position to view the potential incident. The integration module is two-way, which enables alarms and events to be sent from Control Center to C•CURE 9000 systems. For example, an operator could lock/unlock an exit with a click on an interactive building map.

IndigoVision architecture is a truly open solution. Users have freedom to choose third-party ONVIF cameras and Windows-based storage solutions and a software developers kit allows integrators to connect specialist systems. A key part of IndigoVision’s open strategy is the development of integration with other security systems, increasingly important for efficient security management and incident response. With operators in large surveillance systems having to monitor hundreds of cameras, the use of alarms from other systems to highlight incidents and events is invaluable.

Alarms can also be triggered via the IP network from discrete inputs connected to digital I/O on IndigoVision’s IP cameras and video encoder modules or via an IP alarm panel that provides 32 opto-isolated binary inputs and 8 relay outputs. This provides a simple alarm interface for areas such as equipment rooms, lifts and machinery and combined with IndigoVision’s 2-way audio capability, for intercoms and help points.

  • The Evolution of IP Camera Intelligence

    As the 30th anniversary of the IP camera approaches in 2026, it is worth reflecting on how far we have come. The first network camera, launched in 1996, delivered one frame every 17 seconds—not impressive by today’s standards, but groundbreaking at the time. It did something that no analog system could: transmit video over a standard IP network. Read Now

  • From Surveillance to Intelligence

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
