Video Management Systems - Overview
Universal Video Management System (UVMS®)* may very well be the most refined Network Video Recording (NVR) solution in the industry: we have produced digital video management solutions for over twenty years. While our technology is widely regarded as being especially intuitive and easy-to-use, it is also an extremely powerful, enterprise-grade, video recording solution.
UVMS® is a third generation of digital video systems. It was designed from the ground-up and continues to be developed with new features and technologies to retain its position as a preferred solution.
Key Markets for UVMS® include:
- Leisure - Casinos, Arenas, Shopping Centres, Museums
- Public Transport Infrastructure - Rail Stations & Platforms, Airports, Car Parks
- City Wide Surveillance - City Centres, Traffic Management
UVMS® is built on some key building blocks:
Open Standards > UVMS® is built on open industry standards. By employing open standards throughout, you always have access to state-of-the-art technology that enables your system to be easily expanded and upgraded throughout its operational life. Moreover, there is no lock-in to proprietary add-ons.
Scalability > We ensure your system has the capability to expand without limit – and that includes multiple locations, multi-vendor choice of cameras, vast storage arrays and integration with other systems as your needs evolve and your requirements expand.
Rock Solid Evidence > Evidential Video Master (EVM) software enables easy export of authenticated video for use by the police and courts. Encrypted watermarks protect vital evidential chains within a framework that is approved by regulatory bodies. In addition, EVM catalogues the clips you need and bundles them for export to the recording media of your choice. Evidence can then be played on any PC with no software installation required.
Intuitive User Interface > An Easy-to-use Graphical User Interface (GUI) simplifies the wealth of features within UVMS®. In this way, training costs are lowered and employees quickly pick up the power of the system. In its simplest form this includes dragging and dropping camera icons from facility floor plan maps to see live or replayed video – with no more memorising camera numbers or complex keypad combinations.
Video Intelligence > Embedded video smart-search facilities automate the identification of target activities and individuals, reducing operator burden. Integration with a range of 3rd party video analytic applications provide further flexibility to pick and choose best-of-breed algorithms at the core or intelligent cameras at the edge of the UVMS® system.
Robust > UVMS® enjoys a level of robustness unmatched by other NVRs. It's IP network architecture and system design delivers high reliability on a scalable cost effective basis. Advanced self diagnostic software components constantly monitor the system and provide administrative alarms combined with facilities to optimise, verify and configure the system.
Service & Support > Petards is committed to establishing and maintaining long-term relationships with our customers. Our claim to support our customers throughout the life of their video surveillance system is backed-up by the many long-term relationships we’ve developed, and the fact that most of our customers return to Petards as their businesses grow.
