Demonstrating its EdgeVis Live technology in conjunction with the Canon VB-R11VE speed dome, Digital Barriers will show how these solutions can deliver true real-time highdefinition surveillance, over any wireless network, anywhere, every time.

The EdgeVis Live streams are integrated with Canon Webview protocol and can be displayed using Milestone XProtect software or dedicated EdgeVis viewers via Android and iOS smartphones and tablets. Based on military-grade video-compression and streaming technology, the solution uses 60% less bandwidth than standard technologies, enabling the delivery of smooth frame rates with near zero latency.

EdgeVis Live

Digital Barriers EdgeVis technology provides live and reliable video over bandwidth-constrained or congested networks. Ideally suited for applications including crime prevention, event monitoring and critical infrastructure monitoring, the solution has been designed to ensure that video can be delivered over wireless networks with under 0.5 second latency to users anywhere, at a reduced cost. In addition, Digital Barriers’ TVI (Transport Video Interface) actively monitors bandwidth at each instant, using the information to adjust the amount of image detail so that it never exceeds the bandwidth to ensure a constant frame rate.

With exceptional PTZ functionality and long range zoom capabilities, the Canon VB-R11VE is ideal for monitoring large city areas, and is easy to reposition remotely. In addition, the CMOS sensor provides superior high definition images, particularly in low-light applications. Smart Shade Control technology optimises exposure to improve highlights and correct dark areas, useful for backlit conditions in areas such as car parks and transportation hubs.
