DVTEL Touts Open Integration Quasar Camera Series at ASIS

DVTEL announced that it will showcase its Quasar camera series, DVTEL’s HD 1080p ONVIF standards-compliant camera line; TruWitness, an industry-first, award-winning mobile application that turns cell phones into real-time, networked surveillance cameras; and Meridian, an HD-quality Network Video Recorder aimed at the entry-level to mid-market customer, at ASIS 2012 being held Sept. 10-13 at the Philadelphia Convention Center. At booth No. 3359, conference attendees can see first-hand demonstrations of DVTEL’s ONVIF-compliant Quasar cameras, its open-systems surveillance solutions, how mobile devices can enhance surveillance coverage and the cost-effective, plug-and-play NVR.

DVTEL’s Quasar video surveillance cameras offer the highest quality video with the most cost effective, lowest bandwidth and storage requirements on the market today. Equipped with tamper and motion detection, edge-based smart search metadata and 3D Digital Noise Reduction, the high-definition cameras provide H.264 video streams for up to 30 frames per second and are ideal inboth indoor and outdoor environments. Quasar cameras are compatible with DVTEL’s VMS solutions, a variety of ONVIF-compliant software systems, and other leading VMS platforms.

“DVTEL is dedicated to delivering solutions that allow users to quickly access high-quality, critical security data while simplifying complex installations for our integrator partners,” said Paul Smith, Vice President of Marketing, DVTEL. “Our close collaboration with our open system partners enables the deployment of comprehensive, intelligent IP surveillance efficiently.”

DVTEL will also demonstrate the capabilities of TruWitness, an award-winning mobile application that transforms cell phones into real-timenetworked surveillance cameras. Users can tap into the power of their smartdevices to stream, record, analyze, review and export video, live from the field, from any location. Available with DVTEL’s Latitude 6.2 VMS, the mobile camera application operates over WiFi, 3G/4G and LTE networks, providing security and operations teams with greater mobility and enhanced awareness. It is supported on Android-based smart phones running on OS version 2.2 and above.

The Meridian NVR appliance addresses the mid-market with an HD-quality recording system that dramatically reduces the cost of deploying megapixel video applications. Key benefits of Meridian NVR include its ease of use, ease ofset-up and installation, built-in, PoE-based switch to reduce network switch requirements and easy client operation.

  • 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.
