iSurveillance

High efficiency and reliability, less operational and maintenance costs

iSurveillance’s design makes it a very reliable system with a quality of service you can count on 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

The iSurveillance solutions are powered by Barco's family of network controllers - the Hydra and TransForm A.
The Hydra controller has a hotswappable power supply; it operates diskless and is typically suited for highdensity video applications. The TransForm A controllers allow the user to achieve full interactive wall functionality.

The projection modules incorporate lamps with a very long lifetime and are replaced in less than a minute. Barco has a range of dual-lamp projection modules based on digital visualization technologies (Poly-Silicon and DLP™).

A built-in second lamp will make you rely for 100% on the availability of your display wall. Its software allows you to run the lamp in hot or cold stand-by, it keeps track of the 2 lamp life times and detects lamp failure. Barco’s iSurveillance is unique in that it offers constant display quality even when switching from one lamp to the other. Moreover, Barco’s lamp leasing program allows you to efficiently control operational costs.

• Integrated solution, i.e. no quad multiplexer, cabling…

• Easy, cost-effective maintenance
• Front or rear access to projection unit
• Lamp replacement in less than a minute
• Average lamp lifetime of 8000 hours in 24/7 operation
• Hot-swappable power supply in Hydra graphic controller unit
• Incorporates dual lamp

Exceptional functionality across all surveillance applications

iSurveillance provides unique and powerful functionalities for:

• Monitoring
• Response dispatching and co-ordination
• Access/flow control
• Recording and archiving
• Central systems control
• Events update

Barco’s iSurveillance solutions are tailored to the needs of most surveillance environments:

Verification and surveillance applications:

• Security surveillance and enforcement
• Incident or event detection/confirmation (e.g. parking lot full)
• General inspection or inventory control (e.g. shipyard container counting)
• Maintenance and/or control operations (e.g. remote verification of gate operations)
• Sensor information collection

Monitoring and control applications:

• Public informational update (e.g. CMS, flight schedules)
• Public advertising or entertainment

Transactional applications:

• Video or image verification (e.g. security verification and payment systems)
• Remote real time control (e.g. remote crane operations, incident management)
• Real time conferencing (e.g. video conferencing remote classrooms) Exceptional functionality across all surveillance applications

Easy integration integration of alarm indicators and scenarios

iSurveillance can provide users with an automatic and integrated platform to process and display multiple relevant signals for specific events or user perspectives.

In addition, iSurveillance solutions also support scenarios. A scenario is when the display layout is changed in response to the reception of an automated alarm such as dry contacts or software messages in order to bring the relevant views to the attention of the operators. The scenarios feature allows management by exception.

Video alarming
Video loss, Freeze frame and may be customized

Text insertion
Multi-line and flexible font definition

Border and background definition
Color, border distance from image edge and width of actual border

Alarm inputs to change layouts
Via dry contact and via API commands

Unequalled flexibility allowing layout changes and various input

Whether it be video or computer graphical input, iSurveillance always guarantees perfectly displayed, flickerfree and steady images. The images are displayed on a high-contrast black screen for wide viewing angles.

The layout of the display wall can easily be adapted from any authorized PC that is linked to the LAN.

All the layouts are created, saved, retrieved, and adapted by means of a Java application running in a standard Web-browser.

You configure and re-configure your display wall according to your requirements, without moving a monitor. Select from the list of available sources, add a clock and text (e.g. source identifiers), drag and drop, enlarge and reduce the windows until the layout satisfies you, and publish it on the display wall.

iSurveillance even allows control of multiple networked graphical control units from any PC linked to the LAN. Daily operations can be simplified through the use of a touch screen.

Future-proof scalability and Digital migration ready

Scalability & modular design

• Screen size growth by adding projection modules and controllers
• Additional inputs by adding new cards to controllers

Digital migration to IP/Ethernet

• Can replace analog video input cards with digital video input cards
• Can support analog and digital signals simultaneously in the same controller
• Multi-standard decoding supported (MPEG-1/2/4, and MJPEG*)

The integrated universal streaming decoders can provide the customer with the following value added savings
