Hikcentral VMS streamlines
surveillance management
Hikcentral gives users a num-
ber of operational functions,
including live view and playback
management, smart video search
and alarm management. With
two options to choose from a
server-based solution and a
software solution Hikcentral
can be adapted to fit any need or
infrastructure.
To give users the maximum
flexibility to connect to their
surveillance data, Hikcentral can
be used by three clients. A control
client is most comprehensive,
making it ideal for daily opera-
tion; a web client is designed to
give access through other devices;
and a mobile client delivers live
remote access anywhere. This
means that users can always stay
updated.
Features like pre-loaded
software and pre-activated license
means that the system can be
set up very quickly. In fact, the
lightweight installation package
reduces the installation time to
minutes. After that, one-step
configuration automatically de-
tects devices, synchronises camera
names and recording schedules
from devices.
Hikcentral is a unified plat-
form that has been designed to
blend video surveillance, ALPR,
POS and 3rd party system inte-
gration within one solution.
The system is designed with a
high level of scalability and can
scale up to a centralised manage-
ment application in HQ for
example and can in turn scale
down to regional or branch level.
This is made possible using RSM
servers. With both single-spot
and multi-spot storage backup,
using RAID and hybrid SAN, the
system has a large amount of con-
tingency. It is also integrated with
technology from high availability
solution provider, Rose Replicator
Plus, to give the solution a high
level of reliability. These work to
give users peace of mind in times
of crisis.
Replacing Hikvision's iVMS
5200, Hikcentral has been
designed as an effective manage-
ment tool for all kinds of applica-
tions in multiple industries, sup-
porting a large range of channels.
Examples range from a group of
Catholic Schools in Edmonton,
Canada, with 850 surveillance
channels to a US-based bank
upgrading its 450-camera security
network across all its branches.
Hoofddorp, The Netherlands
Hikvision has released Hikcentral, the company's lat-
est video surveillance management system (VMS). It
provides a raft of robust and scalable video surveil-
lance solutions for all types of application scenarios
and is easy to use for seamless management of
multiple devices.
New device and network
management software from Axis
Moreover, in a world where
security threats are becoming more
common, Axis Device Manager
facilitates proactive device and
network protection. It is suitable
for managing up to a couple of
thousand Axis network cameras,
access control and audio devices
on one site -- or several thousand
devices across multiple sites.
A further development of its
popular Axis Camera Manage-
ment software platform, Axis
Device Manager demonstrates
Axis commitment to helping cus-
tomers attain ease-of-installation,
cost-effective operations as well
as proactively protecting their
devices and networks against cyber
security risks.
The software tool incorpo-
rates a broad range of device
management functions including
automatic assignment of IP ad-
dresses; installation and configura-
tion, replacement and upgrade
of any single device; copying
configurations between thousands
of devices; connection to multiple
servers/systems; restore points and
factory default settings; upgrading
of device firmware; management
and update of user accounts and
passwords; deployment and re-
newal for HTTPS & IEEE 802.1x
certificates and supports cyber
security.
Importantly, in an environ-
ment where technology is in a state
of constant change and evolution,
and threats from cyber criminals
become more sophisticated, it is
essential that any infrastructure
related to safety and security is
managed dynamically day-to-day.
New Axis Device Manager delivers
significant enhancements to device
security by enabling centralised
account, password and certificate
management well as hardening
device according to Axis harden-
ing guide. This makes it easier
and more cost efficient for system
installers and administrators to
proactively manage and implement
important security management
features.
"Being able to access and ef-
ficiently install, adapt and secure
all of the devices on your network
saves a tremendous amount of
time and effort. Axis Device Man-
ager is the go-to tool for reaching
all Axis devices -- whatever stage
of their lifecycle -- and make
needed adjustments," commented
Ola Lennartsson, Global Product
Manager, System Management at
Axis Communications. "In today's
fast-paced world, any device or
network that is static is not only
old-fashioned, it is potentially
prone to cyber threats. Therefore
it is important we ensure our
customers can use a tool that
allows them to easily, rapidly and
decisively manage all of the devices
on their network. Axis Device
Manager is that tool."
Axis Device Manager will
replace Axis Camera management
and is available as a free download.
Lund, Sweden
The newly launched Axis device Manager is a
comprehensive on-premise device management tool
that offers an easy, cost-effective and secure way to
manage all major installation and operational device
management tasks.
Hikcentral provides a raft of robust and
scalable video surveillance solutions for
all types of application scenarios.
