IDIS and 360 Vision Complete Integration of DirectIP and Predator HD Cameras

IDIS announced at ASIS 2015 that is has completed the successful integration of its DirectIP™ network video recorders (NVRs) with 360 Vision Technology's Predator HD cameras. Suitable for a variety of applications, the Predator line of full-HD cameras feature up to 574 ft of infrared (IR) illumination and up to 492-ft of ultra-bright white LEDs to provide outstanding night time surveillance in both monochrome and true color.

The new IDIS integration provides operators with advanced functionality directly from DirectIP™ NVRs, allowing full PTZ, white light, IR, pre-sets, and wash/wipe control, among many other Predator features. Simple to install and operate, DirectIP™ NVRs provide a cost effective recording platform, enabling full-HD live Predator streaming, easy retrieval and play back of time-selected footage, all captured in full-HD.

DirectIP™ from IDIS is the company's flagship offering and continues to be a revolutionary approach to HD surveillance—one that is truly plug-and-play, single-source and highly affordable. Customers can now combine 360 Vision Predators along with a DirectIP™ line of HD cameras, NVRs and monitors and benefit from DirectIP™'s exceptional performance and a low total cost of ownership.

Keith Drummond, Senior Director of Sales for IDIS America, commented, "This integration is yet another example of IDIS's commitment to an ambitious road map that will see IDIS offerings integrate with equipment and applications from world-leading security vendors. The hugely successful Predator line of cameras proves 360 Vision's longstanding technical expertise in the security market and we are very pleased with this partnership."

Mark Rees, Business Development Director at 360 Vision Technology, added, "DirectIP™ offers our customers a cost effective, simple-to-use recording platform while matching the quality and high-performance of our Predator HD line as well as allowing them to mix and match from the complete DirectIP™ line up. Now that IDIS is a recognized global player in the surveillance market, having launched across three continents and continuing to drive innovation, it demonstrates excellent local customer support and a true partnership approach. We look forward to building upon our relationship and meeting both the security and technology requirements demanded by our customers from their surveillance operations."

    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.
