Pelco, AMAG Technology Partner To Integrate Digital Video, Access Control Systems

January 30, 2008

Pelco and AMAG Technology have partnered to create a complete product integration of video, access control, intrusion and visitor management, biometrics and other security and building management functions.

“This powerful integration will provide system operators with the capability to easily determine the appropriate response to unusual events or security threats,” saidTerry Carver, API Business Development Manager at Pelco. “Operators can view live and recorded video data simultaneously -- providing faster alarm response time and dispatch of security personnel to the alarm location.”

According to Carver, the Pelco DX8000 and DX8100 series of digital video recorders and AMAG’s Symmetry access control system now work together to provide a solution for the recording, storing and retrieval of video-based intrusion and access control events. The integration will also help improve operator efficiency and reduce the training needed to operate and maintain the security system.

The DX8100 series is expandable to meet future security requirements, according to Pelco management, and also includes a Windows XP embedded operating system and a full-screen playback mode that provides easy video review. It also provides unlimited connections for live view through a Web browser with a multicasting-enabled network.

“AMAG has many customers who have purchased or want to purchase the Pelco DX8100, yet want the power of the integration to AMAG’s Symmetry security management solution,” said Bob Sawyer, president of AMAG Technology. “This new integration gives customers what they’ve been asking for.”
