Hanwha Vision America Integrates WAVE VMS with AMAG Access Control Systems

Hanwha Vision America has completed the integration of its Wisenet WAVE video management system with AMAG Technology's Symmetry Access Control software, delivering greater system choice and flexibility for customers, especially in AMAG’s key markets including data centers, finance, banking, commercial, healthcare and education.

 

The new AMAG Integration Plugin for Wisenet WAVE VMS seamlessly allows the assignment of video cameras registered within Wisenet WAVE VMS to mapped resources within the Symmetry software such as access card readers, which can then be viewed in the Symmetry interface.

 

The plug-in allows the viewing of Wisenet WAVE VMS-generated events, live and recorded video, and system information through Symmetry Access Control.

 

“Often companies are tied to their access control technology only,” said Matthew Mendler, integration manager at Hanwha Vision America. “Through this integration with our WAVE VMS, AMAG and their customers can now also use WAVE VMS, delivering more options and more flexibility to choose the right technology for specific applications.”

 

Through the AMAG Integration Plugin for Wisenet WAVE VMS, system operators can add camera analytics, alarm and event triggers registered within a Wisenet WAVE VMS system.  The plugin also supports bi-directional PTZ presets and tours created in Symmetry Access Control Center and Wisenet WAVE VMS to be used in either environment.

 

“We are pleased to welcome Hanwha Vision America to the Symmetry Partner Program,” said Kim Rahfaldt, director of marketing and public relations, AMAG Technology. “The certified integration between Symmetry Access Control and Wisenet WAVE VMS provides more options and allows the two companies to meet their customers’ critical requirements.”

  • 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.
