COPENHAGEN/BANGALORE – March 9th, 2010. AllGo Systems has introduced their state-of-the-art video analytics product AllGoVision that differentiates itself with market leading features such as multi-region analytics and smart auto PTZ control. AllGoVision is a solution designed for city/traffic surveillance, border security, building surveillance and business intelligence. It includes basic and advanced features like tripwire, loitering, left baggage detection, people counting, crowd detection and illegal parking detection. AllGoVision is integrated with Milestone VMS software XProtect Enterprise and XProtect Corporate to take video input from a Milestone server and send alerts to a Milestone XProtect Analytics server in real time.

“AllGoVision is developed with the aim to offer advanced intelligence beyond conventional analytics and is scalable to add more differentiating features. By adding Multi-Region Analytics and Smart Auto PTZ control features, AllGoVision enhances the utility of the surveillance solution per analytics channel and reduces the overall operational cost for integrators and end users,” said K. Srinivasan, CEO, AllGo Systems. “Integration with Milestone provides our solution on an open architecture in a robust environment. Our customers will be able to leverage our advanced video intelligence on Milestone, the leading IP video management software for surveillance.”

AllGoVision addresses the challenges of video analytics: performance, usability and customizability. The user interface for AllGoVision is designed to provide a user friendly experience with simplified parameter-based inputs. AllGoVision has robust performance and supports multi-channel analytics on a single server. It provides flexibility and cost optimization through feature-based pricing with the ability to select any individual feature as needed. AllGo also provides post-sales performance enhancement options to maximize performance.

• Multi-Region analytics allow users to set multiple regions of monitoring within the video frame with simultaneous alerts from an AllGoVision analytics server. This benefits the integrators by reducing the number of analytics channels thereby resulting in cost reduction of the overall analytics package
• Smart Auto PTZ enables a single PTZ camera to be used for closer capture of a subject along with simultaneous monitoring of an event. This not only simplifies video analysis by combining the two tasks of event monitoring and tracking but reduces the number of cameras that have to be installed.

Milestone XProtect open platform IP video management software (VMS) is a stable foundation for AllGo to integrate video analytics. AllGo Systems envisions Milestone to be a strong partner in the growth of its video analytics offering and to lead business expansions in reaching out to diverse markets.

“AllGoVision is a strong, new Milestone Solution Partner delivering a comprehensive analytics package closely integrated with Milestone using our XProtect Analytics framework that provides powerful usability. With the Multi-Region Analytics and Smart Auto PTZ, AllGoVision has created a solution to deliver intelligent capabilities for customers looking to get added value from their surveillance,” says Martin Kaufmann, MSP Program Manager at Milestone Systems.

Availability
The product is available now. The software and license key can be purchased via request form in the AllGo website. The integrated solution between Milestone XProtect and AllGoVision will be demonstrated at Milestone Partner Open Platform days in Dubai in April and London in June, as well as at ISC West in the U.S. in March (details on the Milestone website).

COPENHAGEN, March 4th, 2010. When construction is complete in December 2010, 17 kilometers of new high-tech, double-track electric rails will connect Malmo Central Station in Sweden with the Oresund Bridge to Denmark. Six kilometers of that will run underground in two parallel tunnels through the center of Malmo. The goal of the CityTunnel connection between Malmo and Copenhagen is to greatly reduce the travel time between the two cities – and not least to transform Malmo Central Station into a transit hub that powers the pan-Scandinavian network.

Several thousand people have been involved in this construction, and today around 100 men are working with the last preparations. It is precisely this reduction in personnel that has made the managers of the CityTunnel project sharpen security for the workers with IP video surveillance from Milestone Systems.

“In conjunction with reducing the workforce in this phase, we have increased the security because even though the project will soon be finished, we have to continue to ensure that the work goes smoothly and problem-free and that our employees have safe work conditions. We have therefore chosen IP network video surveillance, and it has already solved a number of issues for us,” says Mikael Lundquist, Manager for Personnel & Work Environment, CityTunnel.

In collaboration with Insupport, a Certified Milestone Partner, the CityTunnel project identified weak points in their security and it was clear that network video surveillance was necessary. The choice was Milestone XProtect™ Enterprise, an IP software solution designed as an open platform that supports the largest options for cameras and integrations with other systems – both existing and future. The video surveillance is installed in three train stations, as well as the tunnels, with about 30 Sony IP cameras, including the rugged stationary dome model SNC DF80 and the panorama model SNC RZ25 with Pan/Tilt/Zoom and day/night functionality.

Strong Nordic Partner
“The decision to use Milestone was easy. We know Milestone really well, and they offer a very strong platform that allows integration with all kinds of software and hardware. Among other things, we can archive the surveillance video in very high quality and quickly export images to other locations, which has huge value for the CityTunnel,” states Pontus Pettersson, VP at Insupport Natverksvideo.

Three security guards patrol the underground stations where the surveillance is installed. When they walk their normal rounds they can also have their colleagues follow with the video monitors at any time. The system has been used primarily for documentation which has already been a big help, for example in the case of two inebriated Danes who got lost in the tunnel in January. With the video images, there was incontrovertible evidence that was immediately given to the police.

“We have been very pleased with the Milestone software, not least because it is easy to use by our security personnel, but of course because it makes our work much safer,” concludes Mikael Lundquist.

About the Malmo CityTunnel:
The CityTunnel is one of the Swedish National Rail Administration’s projects, funded by the National Rail Administration (Banverket), the City of Malmo, Region Skaane and the EU. The project will have major impact on strengthening the entire region, with its goal to create a fast and efficient connection between Malmo Central Station and the Oresund Bridge.

Network Camera Store has recently created the “Remote Access and Port Forwarding FAQ” article which has been designed to provide information and support to users who are trying to understand how remote access to a network camera or video server is properly established. One of the major benefits of network video surveillance and IP camera or video server devices is the ability to remotely access video through the Internet. However, with remote access also comes a certain amount of extra configuration. Remote access is relatively easy to configure but can be frustrating to users who have never configured remote access or for users who don’t know where to start. The “Remote Access and Port Forwarding FAQ” article is designed for these users and will help provide a solid foundation of knowledge to build from.

Remote Access and Port Forwarding FAQ Article Excerpt:
This FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) article on Remote Access and Port Forwarding is designed help provide support for users who are attempting to configure remote access to a network camera (IP camera) or video encoder (video server) device. This article also discusses, in brief, how remote access to network video surveillance software (NVR software) and DVR (Digital Video Recorder) devices is accomplished. A series of common questions have been posed along with answers to these common questions. This article can be used as a starting point for remote access configuration and will help you to understand some of the common terminology and how remote access in actually configured.
