Aimetis Symphony(TM) Harmonizes Video Management and Analytics to Drive Intelligent Video Surveillance



    Reasserting the Company´s commitment to the video management
    market, Aimetis Corp., a global leader in intelligent video
    surveillance technology, today announced the launch of Aimetis
    Symphony(TM) Video Management software. Based on award-winning
    IP-video technology, Aimetis Symphony helps organizations of all sizes
    cost-effectively benefit from intelligent IP-video surveillance for
    security and business intelligence.

    Built on an open, standards-based architecture, Aimetis Symphony
    is an integrated video management and analytics software platform. The
    software provides advanced surveillance capabilities, a robust and
    scalable IT infrastructure, and powerful business information reports.
    Its simple and straightforward licensing options offer maximum
    flexibility, ease of use, and a cost-effective entry point for the
    seamless migration to IP-surveillance.

    "Aimetis Symphony demonstrates our commitment to deliver
    comprehensive, flexible and cost-effective solutions that bring video
    management, analytics and other security systems together on a single,
    open-IP based platform," said Marc Holtenhoff, Chief Executive
    Officer, Aimetis Corp. "Aimetis Symphony makes intelligent video more
    accessible to all segments of the surveillance market by enabling
    organizations of any size to maximize their current analog investments
    or transition from an analog ´record only´ installation to intelligent
    network video -- all at a cost-effective price point."

    Building on Success

    The release of Aimetis Symphony builds on the Company´s success,
    experience and expertise in intelligent video. In 2007, Frost &
    Sullivan recognized Aimetis for its technological innovation in
    embedding video analytics into digital signal processors (DSPs) for
    edge devices, long before the market realized their importance. In
    addition, Frost & Sullivan´s research found Aimetis was one of the few
    market players that consistently received positive feedback on the
    reliability of its products.

    "Aimetis software was the best intelligent video platform we could
    find. Nothing else could touch it," said Steve Patterson, Manager,
    Systems Operations, City of Oshawa. A major transportation and
    logistics hub in Canada, the City of Oshawa selected Aimetis software
    to analyze and record video as part of a city-wide effort to increase
    public security.

    The Flexibility and Versatility You Expect Plus More

    Being both security and IT friendly, Aimetis Symphony seamlessly
    integrates analog and IP cameras with a minimal learning curve for the
    user. The software is intuitive and easy to install and deploy, and
    its customizable user interface makes it convenient for security
    professionals to efficiently manage and analyze video data.

    The software supports all analog and 15 different network camera
    manufacturers - making it ideal for deployment in hybrid environments.
    In addition, Aimetis Symphony runs on Microsoft Windows(R)-based
    commercial off-the-shelf hardware (e.g. PCs, servers).

    Aimetis Symphony provides advanced surveillance features including
    integrated video analytics for auto alarming on a wide variety of
    user-defined policies and advanced "Smart Search" capabilities along
    with highly-sought-after IT features such server farms, automatic
    software updates, software developer kits, and more.

    With Aimetis Symphony, organizations can also use their existing
    analog and network systems to generate real-time business intelligence
    information with powerful report generation for people counting, dwell
    time, activity level/congestion, traffic flow patterns, and high alarm
    and risk areas.

    As the convergence gap between analog and IP surveillance starts
    to narrow, the tight integration of both video management and
    analytics makes Aimetis Symphony the smartest and most cost-effective
    surveillance solution across all industries including retail,
    transportation, financial and commercial industries.

    The Industry´s Most Simple Licensing Model

    With no server license fee or client viewing license fee, Aimetis
    Symphony licensing is simple: one camera, one license. Three options
    are available to offer maximum flexibility and ease of use:

    -- Standard License - Recording: An entry platform for
    IP-surveillance and ideal for users looking for basic video
    recording but want a migration path to video analytics for
    future use.

    -- Professional License - Management: Contains all core video
    recording features of the Standard License plus robust event
    management integration from devices such as camera alarms that
    enables the quick and efficient retrieval of specific events
    without having to review all video recordings.

    -- Enterprise License - Intelligent Management: Designed for
    applications requiring real-time intelligence on camera feeds
    with enhanced event-based search capabilities.

    Camera licenses can be "mixed and matched" depending on the
    required functionalities.
