Maxxess Systems Showcases Innovative Access, Video Communications and Video Solutions to Empower Total Situational Awareness

Maxxess Systems is showcasing its unique portfolio of video, access control and communications platforms that provide users with the highest levels of system integration, management and incident response technology here at ISC West 2019 (booth # 6065). Solutions on display include the U.S. public debut of Maxxess InSite™ Awareness and Response Coordination System, the enhanced eFusion™ Security Management Software and Maxxess' MX+ Web Dashboard, the newly designed Ambit™ Event Management Communications Software, and a new Multi-Form Panic Solution that provides the lowest cost of entry for proactive protection.

"Maxxess Systems transcend the capabilities of conventional video, access control and communications systems by empowering people and transforming security operations to deliver new levels of situational awareness and business intelligence," said Nancy Islas, President of Maxxess Systems. "By combining systems intelligence and human intelligence on our unique open architecture platforms and intuitive interfaces, Maxxess Systems offers powerful, scalable solutions that can help stop events from happening, and better control incidents from the moment they begin."

The Maxxess solutions being demonstrated at ISC West 2019 include:

Maxxess InSite™ Awareness and Response Coordination System combines "system intelligence" and "human

intelligence" to detect and respond to unfolding events in real time – all of which are queued, organized and displayed on a highly-intuitive user interface. Maxxess InSite enables early incident detection and action, allowing users to correlate data, improve response coordination, and deal with issues when they're small – before they become large and costly.

Maxxess InSite features an open-architecture framework to accommodate virtually any security or business intelligence application with comprehensive functionality. Over 50 different leading manufacturers are already integrated into Maxxess InSite, providing more combined capabilities and functionality than any other cross-platform solution available. This allows Maxxess InSite to be configured for virtually any security and business intelligence application, using any combination of software and hardware to deliver a highly-customized solution with unparalleled efficiency.

eFusion™ Security Management Software is a "system intelligence" solution that integrates and correlates data from surveillance, access control and various other physical security and facility operations' data onto a comprehensive monitoring and reporting dashboard. eFusion provides video and access system management and control capabilities along with alarm monitoring; remote access credentials tracking, authorization, and de-authorization; door/access status and more. eFusion can be deployed as a stand-alone management and control platform, or as a core component of Maxxess InSite.

Proven globally in installations around the world, new enhancements to eFusion include new Flow Control with Auto Expiration, and Advanced Data Processing. Flow Control allows users to configure the specific door(s) that must be used first to gain primary access to a facility with programmable timer setting. Advanced Data Processing correlates databases to accommodate complex relationship rules between the authoritative database and the Maxxess database.

To further simplify user engagement with eFusion, Maxxess Systems' MX+ Web Dashboard has also been further enhanced with new features including: System-wide lockdown; Video Management System (VMS) integration; mobile cardholder management operations with badge printing; access control status indication in an easy-to-read graphical format and schedule configuration.

Ambit™ Event Management Communications Software provides real-time "human intelligence" for alerts, notifications and status assessment via users' smartphone and/or tablets, along with access control management. Ambit's extensive communications and access control functionality provides security management and first responders with the critical on-site information and access system management they need to best handle unpredictable crises. A cloud-based solution, Ambit can be deployed as a stand-alone communications platform, or as a core component of Maxxess InSite. New enhancements to Ambit include: a new app design for easier operation including: a new status update window; an easily accessible panic button; support for multiple photos from the field; the ability to assign reports to designated groups and/or individuals; enhanced filtering for target audiences to receive mass broadcasts; NC4 integration to external intelligence software to enhance information gathering; auto-location detection for event status posts; and a texting option for users without the app to receive relevant mass broadcasts.

Also featured is Maxxess Systems' new Multi-Form Panic Solution, which provides the lowest cost of entry for proactive protection. Available for implementation with any Maxxess System platform or as a stand-alone solution, the new Multi-Form Panic Solution can be configured on any mobile device, PC keyboard or wearable device.

Maxxess Systems also continues to expand its roster of technology partners and integrations with the addition of: Mercury LP and MR62e controllers; OTIS Elevator Compass Overwatch; enhanced Milestone Systems' MIP and Geutebruck GeViScope integrations; as well as new integrations with Salient Systems, Avigilon, ISS (Intelligent Security Systems), Nedap and RemotePoint.

In addition to demonstrations at ISC West 2019 in the Maxxess Systems booth #6065, the company's solutions will also be featured in the Indigo Vision booth #23031.

  • 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.
