IDIS Unveiled Plans to Launch Next Generation Video Surveillance Solution

IDIS has announced plans to launch its next-generation, video surveillance solution powered by their DirectIP protocol.

With a fifteen-year history as an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) for some of the world’s security organizations, IDIS will launch its own suite of IP high-definition (HD) cameras, network video recorders (NVR) and video management system (VMS) built on IDIS’ game-changing, DirectIP framework and protocols. The solution suite provides a one-stop-shop, HD surveillance solution from a single source provider, while the DirectIP framework and VMS allow simple, low-cost installation and ease-of-use, previously only associated with analog systems.

Brian Song, European director of IDIS, noted, “As the proliferation of IP and HD systems has grown, our customers and partners frequently report frustration with the many challenges presented by an overly-fragmented and unnecessarily complex surveillance marketplace. Customers, installers and end-users face difficulties related to increased integration and implementation costs, growing complexity in network configuration, and the sheer effort and cost tied to the maintenance of varied equipment from multiple vendors. IDIS’ new, fully-integrated, DirectIP solution suite addresses these challenges both definitively and affordably.”

IDIS has drawn upon its extensive R&D and on-the-ground expertise to develop an HD surveillance solution. This DirectIP solution suite will provide simplicity, evident immediately from ease-of-installation and integration through the daily use of its user-friendly interface. 

DirectIP from IDIS will provide a true, end-to-end, plug and play solution by delivering instant recognition by the NVR of every networked camera, enabling end users to start monitoring live video immediately, without cumbersome network configuration requirements. It will further eliminate the complexities of traditional, networked, surveillance systems with an installation that no longer requires the manual input of device IP addresses or related port forwarding and routing. The DirectIP switching hub and camera registration will allow multi-connection structures between NVRs while supporting Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices and simple, uncomplicated integration with intruder alarms and other electronic security systems.

The IDIS solution will provide real-time, live monitoring with HD resolution from network throughput, maintaining a stable, HD resolution regardless of external network traffic, while cameras will record directly to the NVR in real-time (in an HD resolution or higher). In addition, the IDIS NVR will be equipped to perform five, key, Pentaplex processes simultaneously, with no degradation of image quality or network interruptions: live-view, record, playback, remote access and backup of audio and video files, giving users greater choice and ease during everyday use.

Song continued, “Customers have previously been required to trade ease-of-installation and operation in order to upgrade from analog systems. With the launch of the DirectIP solution suite from IDIS, customers will now recognize unprecedented levels of simplicity and ease-of-use, all while experiencing the kind of power and intelligence one would expect from a sophisticated, network, high-definition, surveillance system.”

    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.
