Swift Fire And Security Selects Vista SmartTel
Swift, the nationwide fire and security specialist, has selected Vista SmartTel as the key transmission platform for its new Video Receiving Centre (VRC), based at Salford, Greater Manchester.
Simple to set-up but powerful in operation, the Navigator offers the installer and end-user a truly intuitive menu structure.
Powerful record rates of 100 images per second at 2 CIF resolution with a choice of formats allows for both MPEG 4 and MJPEG compression.
This makes it ideal for both streaming video across network (MPEG4) and recording high resolution images for detailed analysis (MJPEG).
Next comes Vista Blade, an enterprise level real-time DVR with 4, 8 or 16 inputs, capable of recording up to 400 images per second for 16 cameras at D1 resolution.
Up to four internal drives support 3TB of storage and the internal cooling system prevents overheating.
This sophisticated piece of engineering helps to optimise hard disk life and record rates, thus prolonging the life of the product.
The PowerDome range comes with improved housing design and more powerful camera modules, including 26:1 day/night and 23:1 day/night WDR.
The domes include both camera yoke and black-box memory allowing either yoke or housing to be swapped out and automatically reprogrammed with camera settings such as presets, tours, privacy zones etc.
without manual re-programming.
Finally, Graphica allows for control of the new Blade and Navigator DVRs.
Packed with new features such as muli-site / multi-user operation over LAN, WAN and the internet, the software utilises an advanced user interface to combine conventional analogue video products and networked digital products, thus allowing direct streaming of IP cameras.
"There's no doubt that the Formidable 4 will create a stir at IFSEC this year," says Andrew Pigram, Vista brand director.
"The products represent some of the most advanced, reliable and intelligent technologies on the market and the extensive market research we've carried out ensures that they will be favourably met by the market.".
