IDV Solutions Visual Command Center and SureView Systems Immix CC Integrate

  • Oct 17, 2014

IDV Solutions, LLC and SureView Systems, LLC announced that the companies have formed a technical partnership and completed an integration of SureView’s Immix CC video-centric event management platform with IDV Solutions’ Visual Command Center enterprise risk visualization (ERV) platform.

Using the combination of the two technologies, security operations teams can receive and process real time events from Visual Command Center in Immix CC and view live video from Immix CC within Visual Command Center. This integration enables users to make more efficient use of video, by identifying and accessing cameras near those locations where Visual Command Center has identified a potential threat and automatically associating these threats with dynamic workflows and enforceable Standard Operating Procedures within the Immix CC event management interface.

Visual Command Center provides security operations teams with a single, comprehensive view of their assets—such as buildings, employee locations, corporate events and supply routes—along with events that may threaten those assets, including acts of terrorism, severe weather, civil unrest, and hazardous materials releases. It consolidates information from multiple sources, including Web feeds and an organization’s internal systems, on an interactive map and timeline.

When Visual Command Center detects a potential threat near an asset or employee location, it automatically alerts operators, who can use powerful visualization, filtering, and query tools to assess the threat, and then act to mitigate risk.

SureView Systems’ Immix CC is a video-based alarm monitoring platform for command centers. The software platform consolidates activities from any data source including video surveillance, access control intrusion, two-way audio and GPS alarms. Immix enables organizations to centralize their security monitoring, including video surveillance, and lower ongoing costs.

Integration of the two software products lets users access their security cameras from maps and floor plans in Visual Command Center. When security operators receive an alert from Visual Command Center, they can use query and filtering tools to locate cameras near the alert location and then view those live video streams.

“Visual Command Center provides a ‘big picture’ view of global, regional, and local risk factors, while Immix CC provides ‘up close’ situational awareness through video monitoring,” said Mark Morrison, chief executive officer and co-founder, IDV Solutions. “This integration will increase security operators’ ability to use video to protect facilities and employees.”

“Our strategic partnership with IDV Solutions delivers expanded situational awareness, enforceable workflows and world-class visualization of assets to our rapidly expanding customer base,” said Rob Hile, director of strategic accounts, SureView Systems. “By combining our core strengths into one technology offering, we can truly deliver an out-of-the-box solution to our customers without custom development efforts that are expensive to build and maintain over time.”

  • 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.
