New March Networks Video Intelligence Software Delivers Enhanced Browser-Based
Management and Investigation
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA, –
March Networks, a global provider of
intelligent IP video solutions, is pleased to announce enhancements to its
Command video management system (VMS) software,
8000 Series Hybrid recording
platform and industry-first
GURU smartphone application that make it even easier
for organizations to use, manage and deploy intelligent video. The newest
software releases continue March Networks’ commitment to delivering
enterprise-class solutions optimized for banks, retailers and other
organizations with multiple locations and system users.
Command 1.7
March Networks Command VMS version 1.7 introduces an intelligent interface
design that enhances the user experience and further speeds centralized
investigations. New motion histograms enable administrators and fraud or loss
prevention investigators to quickly find the video they need from any location,
while interactive maps with thumbnail previews and efficient map-to-map
navigation provide security staff with rapid search and review capabilities.
With the latest feature enhancements, organizations can remotely configure
recordings and monitor IP camera performance easily via Command’s single,
browser-based interface. The software provides at-a-glance system information on
schedule settings, recording conditions, estimated retention times and storage
size per camera.
Command is one of the only VMS solutions that supports complete surveillance
system configuration and administration – in addition to live and archived video
access – via its browser-based client interface. Open and standards-based, this
latest software release also expands integrations with an already extensive list
of leading third-party IP cameras.
8000 Series Software
New software enhancements available on the company’s high-performance 8000
Series Hybrid Network Video Recorders (NVRs) ensure full Command 1.7
compatibility, as well as dual-stream support for all March Networks IP cameras
and leading third-party IP devices. The dual streaming allows organizations to
record high-resolution video while viewing or displaying live video at lower
frame rates – a key capability for locations with limited bandwidth. Additional
features available with the new software release include enhanced public viewing
via analog and HDMI outputs, and audio play from both live and archived video.
In addition, support for a further 16 alarm inputs and 16 relay outputs via the
March Networks Command I/O Extension Board provides organizations with a
cost-effective option for expanded integration with alarms and other business
systems.
Wireless Provisioning via GURU
A prime example of March Networks’ support for its certified partners is a
unique wireless provisioning capability the company is adding to its
industry-first GURU smartphone application. The latest version of the
application, which is available as a free download from the App Store and Google
Play, will allow partners to do final system provisioning conveniently with
their smartphones or tablets. With GURU, technicians can simply insert a
wireless USB adapter into any 8000 Series Hybrid NVR and use the application’s
Provisioning Interface screen to scan the QR code on the recorder and make the
wireless connection. They can then review or change an IP address, check Domain
Name System (DNS) settings, and register or unregister a recorder from the March
Networks Enterprise Service Manager. The capability means technicians are never
caught short when they need to make a last-minute networking adjustment onsite
and either don’t have Internet access or the time to set up and connect a laptop
computer.
