IP-Based Surveillance Made Viable
As awareness grows, costs come down, and products become more effective, IP-based surveillance is rapidly taking over the security monitoring and surveillance market. With significant recent advances in wireless technology, wireless surveillance is beginning to establish itself as a viable solution, bringing with it substantial benefits of lower cost, greater flexibility, easier installation, and uncomplicated upgrades.
However, current wireless IP networks are not robust enough to produce quality video images. Armida Technologies has overcome this limitation with our Videlity® technology, which powers all products in the ArmidaWare™ suite. With a minimal investment, using any camera you like – analog or digital, wired or wireless – Videlity technology ensures high quality video from anywhere on the network. No more shattered images. No more jagged video feeds. Videlity Operating Environment (VOE) networks deliver unprecedented wireless video clarity:
- Sophisticated video processing techniques ensure high-quality video over wireless networks
- Transmissions are encrypted using AES (Advanced Encryption Standard)
- VOE networks can sustain up to 25% packet loss and retain high quality video
- Videlity technology augments the streaming video with additional data that allows reconstruction of the video on the receiving end
- Videlity enabled components continuously monitor the "health" of Video-Aware networks and adapt their transmission stream to fit the available bandwidth
- VOE networks adapt the video stream to bandwidth and network conditions
Armida Technologies’ software-centric solution maintains the majority of functionality in its Videlity software, providing a foundation for intelligent video systems that are more capable, less expensive, and easier to expand than hardware-based alternatives.
Extensive Integrated Functionality
