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.
