SAN JOSE, CA, Jun 10 (MARKET WIRE) --
Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO) today announced a video surveillance solution enabled on
the Cisco Integrated Services Router (ISR) platform. By incorporating video
surveillance network modules into the Cisco ISR, the solution converges
physical security over an IP network. The solution also works with non-IP
video surveillance equipment to enable a migration to IP-enabled video
surveillance. This will allow the large installed base of over 4 million Cisco
ISR and new customers to deploy video surveillance as part of their existing
infrastructure, while helping to reduce the total cost of ownership, improve
operational flexibility, combine physical and network security, and enhance
performance and reliability.
Customers deploying the Cisco ISR video surveillance solution can now
achieve
improved control and distribution of video surveillance services, and greater
central and remote monitoring flexibility. The Cisco Video Surveillance
solution is one of a number of services that run on the Cisco ISR, helping
enable tighter linkage between video surveillance and other branch applications
such as unified communications, network security, virtual private networks, and
mobility. This is especially important in branch office deployments such as
retail, banking and government where technical expertise is not readily
available.
The Cisco Video Surveillance solution is a key milestone in Cisco's recently
announced business video strategy which combines systems and services using
the network as the platform to enable end-to-end, any-to-any video solutions
that
create powerful Visual Networking experiences.
The new modules for the Cisco 2800 and 3800 Series Integrated Services
Routers,
which feature the Cisco Video Surveillance Media Manager line of products,
include:
-- Cisco Video Management and Storage System (VMSS) Network Module,
which helps enable local archival and management of video images. Through
the combination of Cisco Video Surveillance Operations Manager software and
Cisco Video Surveillance Media Server software scaled for the branch or
remote office environment, the Cisco VMSS allows customers to manage and
monitor multiple video sources through a single converged interface. The
VMSS provides support for the Cisco VS IP Camera, as well as most major
third-party IP cameras and encoders.
-- Cisco IP Video Surveillance 16-Port Analog Video Gateway Network
Module, which provides high-density analog video encoding, up to 30 frames
per second (fps) per port at up to 4CIF video resolution, support for
Motion JPEG (MJPEG) and MPEG4, remote Pan Tilt Zoom (PTZ) camera control,
integrated contact closure ports, and embedded motion detection.
Cisco Video Surveillance is also now available on the Cisco 3200
SeriesRugged Integrated Services Router, also featuring the Cisco Video
Surveillance
Media Manager line of products:
-- The Cisco IP Video Surveillance 4-Port and 2-Port Intelligent Video
Gateway (IVG) PC-104 cards for the Cisco 3200 Series Rugged Integrated
Services Routers provide video surveillance capabilities for mobile
workers, such as first responders and transportation operators, as well as
outdoor fixed environments, such as kiosks and traffic lights. When used in
combination with products from the Cisco Video Surveillance Manager product
family, the Cisco IVGs allow customers to deploy new video surveillance
applications in environmentally challenging outdoor and mobile
environments.
ADT, a leading security systems integrator, will team with Cisco to
offerthe new solution. "This will allow us to offer our customers the latest in
physical security systems and services, taking advantage of existing systems,"
said Nick Samanich, ADT director Commercial Strategic Products Planning. "This
solution enhances ADT's ability to provide our end-users with effective video
surveillance on their existing networks, giving them greater control and
flexibility and an increased level of security."
The Cisco Video Surveillance solution provides integrated management from
acentral site and/or distributed management from many sites to collect, monitor
and
view both live and recorded video, with a single all-in-one Cisco ISR platform.
Customers can use both traditional analog video cameras and wired or wireless IP
video surveillance cameras. Cisco Video Surveillance on the Cisco ISR also
provides customers with a single-box embedded storage option as well as
third-party
video storage and archival capabilities.
