TimeSight Systems Announces Technology Alliance to Support Sentry360 FullSight Immersive Camera Technologyhttp://sentry360.com/2011/11/timesight-systems-announces-technology-alliance-to-support-sentry360-fullsight-immersive-camera-technology/ http://sentry360.com/2011/11/timesight-systems-announces-technology-alliance-to-support-sentry360-fullsight-immersive-camera-technology/#comments Mon, 07 Nov 2011 19:33:50 +0000 tom http://sentry360.com/?p=1252 TimeSight Systems, the industry leader in video lifecycle management (VLM) for video surveillance, and Sentry360, a leading developer of advanced multi-megapixel surveillance cameras, today announced a technology alliance leveraging two important emerging technologies for the IP video surveillance industry.

Industry reports indicate that the video surveillance industry is seeing continued growth, with the number of installed cameras at over 100 million worldwide and climbing annually. According to users, two of most significant problems associated with traditional video surveillance installations are ensuring the exact target area for adequate video coverage in the event of incidents, coupled with the rising cost of storing that video data as cameras continue to increase in both number and in resolution. Today’s collaboration between two security technology companies in the IP video space addresses both of these issues by combining industry-leading fully immersive video with video lifecycle management to allow enterprise-class systems to not only catch all relevant video, but to also retain that video through a complete and useful lifecycle to enable true return on investment (ROI).

The hallmark of this alliance is the delivery of scalable ROI for digital surveillance. Sentry360′s multi-megapixel 360-degree immersive imaging and directional cameras actually reduce the amount of cameras needed to cover a given environment, thereby reducing both cost and complexity. Complementing this is the TimeSight video lifecycle management technology, which provides the ability to actually shrink stored data over time, according to business rules, to allow for greater capture and retention of high resolution video on far less bandwidth and storage requirements.

“This alliance leverages the two key technologies that deliver exactly what enterprise users are demanding — better video and better use of that video,” remarks Charles Foley, CEO of TimeSight Systems. “They get wider coverage, better video, and longer retention, all with fewer cameras, fewer storage servers, and less overall cost.”

“Today marks a giant step toward resolving these burgeoning issues while providing a lower cost of ownership to the end-user,” remarks Thomas Carnevale, CEO of Sentry360. “The combination of our technologies brings a heavy return on investment to mission critical security projects. Sentry360′s multi-megapixel 360-degree immersive imaging and directional cameras together with TimeSight System’s Video Surveillance Appliances, featuring video lifecycle management, combine to create a next generation, high resolution efficient video evidence collection platform.”

TimeSight and Sentry360 will be demonstrating their synergistic technologies at the upcoming ISC Solutions event at the Javits Center in New York City on November 2-3, at Booth 1822.

About TimeSight Systems TimeSight Systems Inc. was formed by industry executives with decades of systems, server, storage, software, networking, security, compliance and law enforcement experience to address the growing need for high resolution, IP based video surveillance systems.

Sentry360 and Viasys collaborate for 360° Video Analyticshttp://sentry360.com/2011/03/sentry360-and-viasys-collaborate-for-360%c2%b0-video-analytics/ http://sentry360.com/2011/03/sentry360-and-viasys-collaborate-for-360%c2%b0-video-analytics/#comments Tue, 29 Mar 2011 21:10:09 +0000 tom http://sentry360.com/?p=1167 Naperville, IL (March 30, 2011) Sentry360, a leading developer of advanced multi-megapixel surveillance cameras, has entered into a technology partnership with Viasys, a premiere provider of advanced video analytics dedicated to perimeter protection and intruder detection.

“We have successfully bridged the gap between intelligent video and limited field-of-view cameras”, says Thomas Carnevale, President of Sentry360.  Video Analytics are a great source of providing instant alarms of specific detection, but has always been limited to a specific focal length and field-of-view.  Thomas adds, “Now, with the integration between Viasys’ video analytics and Sentry360′s cameras, we’re empowering 360-degrees of intelligent video with NO blind-spots and no moving parts.  We really think this is what intelligent video was meant for.  What’s the point of having video analytics if the limited  view is only seeing a small portion of the overall environment?”

Viasys features a highly optimized, low-bandwidth communication protocol which is the result of the company’s world leadership in the protection of solar powerplants.  These green energy sites are often very remote with only basic network connections that feed to the central monitoring stations.  Because of this, a complete alarming solution was born with a focus on low bandwidth and low resource usage.

“We are excited about combining two highly focused and unique market approaches for even more customer benefit.” says Dirk Owerfeldt, COO and co-founder of Viasys. “Our positioning to deliver a simple, reliable, and affordable solution — anytime and anywhere — fits perfectly to the Sentry360 FullSight approach, enabling analytics to see the whole picture.”

The new Intelligent Pro Series FullSight cameras will deliver resolutions from 3 – 10 megapixels and have Sentry 360′s corrected perspective de-warping and panoramic algorithm coordinated with the Viasys video analytics.  The camera will be able to perform multiple simultaneous rule based video analytics delivering complete situational awareness.  The major features of this integration are adaptive outdoor analytics like electronic fence, trip-wire, sabotage detection, directional recognition and 3D video awareness, which make Viasys analytics with Sentry360 FullSight cameras the optimal solution for all platforms.

About Viasys:
Founded in 2002, viasys is an established and award winning software provider for the security industryThe company gained its market presence with a focus strategy, offering fully embedded, plug-in video analytics.  To date the company has installed over 20,000 licenses across Europe and the Americas.

Sentry 360 Cracks the Code – 360 Degree Panoramic Video Surveillancehttp://sentry360.com/2010/08/sentry-360-cracks-the-code-360-degree-panoramic-video-surveillance/ http://sentry360.com/2010/08/sentry-360-cracks-the-code-360-degree-panoramic-video-surveillance/#comments Mon, 23 Aug 2010 04:31:02 +0000 mike http://dev.sentry360.com/?p=90
Naperville, IL (February 20, 2008) Sentry 360 Security, Inc. publicly releases its open architecture SDK (Software Development Kit) to the IP Video security industry.  For years 360-degree immersive video has had its ups and downs, technologies that have come and gone but Sentry 360 believes it has put a stamp on the future for this breed of high resolution wide angle technology.

The point of 360-degree panoramic video is to solve the problem of blind-spots and poor resolution by reducing camera counts and delivering complete situational awareness.

Two forms of Sentry 360’s SDK have been developed; a high-level and a low–level API.  The High level API is designed to work exclusively with Sentry 360 devices.  By combining the best megapixel sensor technology, with optimized wide angle or fisheye lenses Sentry 360 has created application driven appliances designed to meet specific applications for indoor, outdoor, covert, extreme temperature, low-light & mobile surveillance.   The High-level API allows for easy integration into 3rd party software products and is provided in the following forms: C library/C++class library for Microsoft Windows or Linux Operating Systems, ActiveX control (windows including Visual Basic), and .NET assembly.  We have already formed partnerships with some the industry leading Network Video Recording Software companies such as JDS Digital Security whom has completed the integration and is exhibiting FullSight 360-degree technology on their SoftSite32 Enterprise Series at this years ISC West conference in Las Vegas, NV at booth 17135.  Joe Marchese President of JDS says, “In years past we have worked with several other products’ APIs for dewarp processing. All have proven to be cumbersome at best and a real performance hog. Sentry360 has provided a new API that is extremely easy to use, implement and works very efficiently. I am impressed how they listened to our needs and provided a timely solution.”  Graphical User Interface of the technology can be displayed in full panorama, Quad virtual cameras (corrected perspective zoomed streams), Dual or single virtual streams or combination of panoramas with point and click steering of dual virtual cameras.  All of this can be done on a single video channel of your NVR or DVR.

The low-level API has been designed to give the maximum possible flexibility and performance for video management system developers. It provides means for direct input of image data, setting dewarping and image parameters and direct output of processed image data. The API can be used with any raw image data, regardless of resolution, pixel format or color space.  Third party system integrators can use panoramic technology with a single camera license on there favorite NVR or DVR solution.  Simply put this is software plug-in that is 100% Camera Neutral, Lens Neutral, Software language Neutral & operating system Neutral.

In today’s world of convergence in the video surveillance market and the craving for standards in network cameras Sentry 360 has laid the path for open architecture 360-degree panoramic display of High resolution images with full retrospective PTZ (Pan Tilt Zoom).  This is a cost effective “Green Technology” that delivers no-blind spots & no moving parts with a single camera.

Sentry 360 will be exhibiting this SDK and its FullSight series of Application driven 360-degree megapixel cameras at the International Security Conference in Las Vegas, NV April 1st- 3rd at booth 17148.
