Samsung Techwin
Europe and Veracity have jointly launched TRINITY™, an IP network video
surveillance solution that does not require a network video recorder.
TRINITY takes advantage of the processing power of Samsung
WiseNetIII open platform cameras which enables them to simultaneously run multiple
onboard edge based Applications, including Veracity’s award winning COLDSTORE ‘direct-to-storage’
recording solution.
Users are able to take advantage of a robust and scalable system which
does not require a server or network recording device and yet supports audio
and metadata as well as video, whilst offering innovative features such as
camera-level fail-over and resilience to network interruptions. As a result,
large savings can be achieved on software licences and NVR hardware costs
normally incurred when an IP network based recording system is required. With a
COLDSTORE array of up to 120TB consuming just 60 watts, there is also a
potential 90% power saving compared to standard server based storage solutions.
For large video surveillance projects, this provides users with the opportunity
to apply for EU funded environmental grants.
“In simple terms, WiseNetIII cameras are now able to write
directly to disk,” said Alastair McLeod, Veracity’s Group CEO. “The TRINITY
architecture empowers the Samsung WiseNetIII cameras to record directly to COLDSTORE,
whilst providing users with the option to retrieve and view the recorded images
via our TRINITY Player utility or, more significantly, by any third-party PSIM
or VMS (Video Management System) client application that incorporates our easy
to implement media SDK.”
COLDSTORE hard disk storage
arrays are increasingly being specified for large scale surveillance installations
or for projects with long video retention time requirements. This is because of
their high storage capacity and low power consumption as well as COLDSTORE’s
key feature, i.e. it has been designed from the ground up to significantly
increase disk reliability. The recent release of COLDSTORE Compact means that TRINITY
is also now suitable for systems with lower camera counts.
“Our technicians have worked very closely
with the Veracity team to ensure users can achieve the maximum benefit from TRINITY,”
said Dan England, Technology Partner
Manager for Samsung Techwin Europe. “Being able to record and store
metadata directly to COLDSTORE is particularly important as customers are
increasingly specifying applications to run on WiseNetIII cameras that can be
used to collect and analyse data via different specialist video analytics
solutions.
“This offers operation managers the
potential to acquire valuable management information which could assist them in
improving efficiency in areas such as process control, health & safety,
marketing and human resource management, as well as enhancing the ability of
security personnel to react quickly and effectively to any security threat.”
Hanwha Techwin and analytic specialists A.I Tech, have jointly engineered biometrics and retail solutions to enable small retail chains, as well as small outlets such as convenience stores, newsagents and petrol stations, to gain a greater understanding of the type and numbers of people who visit their stores.
