Redvision profiles its IP and analogue X-SERIES™ cameras at Intersec 2016.

Redvision is to profile its pioneering, UK manufactured, X-SERIES™ rugged PTZ dome camera range at Intersec 2016.

IP and analogue X‑SERIES™ cameras will be on the Redvision stand, S1-E48, with additional IP cameras on the Wavestore, Synectics and Digifort stands.

Paul Hucker, MD of Redvision, explains, “Recent temperature testing has proven that the X-SERIES™ cameras can withstand the extreme heat that can occur in the Middle Eastern markets, represented by the Intersec exhibition. Inclusion of the X-SERIES™ on leading VMS providers’ stands demonstrates the wide integration potential for our products.”

The X‑SERIES™ cameras are modular and can be configured as fully functional PTZ cameras or as a domes. A wiper can be added to remove water or dirt from the camera view, which is essential for many outdoor applications. White-light or IR, super-efficient, LED illuminators can be added for highly effective, night-time operation. A wide range of mounts, brackets and finishes offers installation flexibility and low power consumption keeps running costs to a minimum.

The X‑SERIES™ is available in both IP and analogue options. The IP option comes with either 1080p (Full HD) or 720p (HD) resolution sensors, day/night functionality and 30x optical and 12x digital zoom. The analogue option is available in 18x and 30x zoom, with colour or day/night functionality.

eneo enables cost-effective, point-of-sale (POS) functionality on its IP video surveillance systems.

Eneo’s NPCII universal protocol converter enables eneo IP video recorders to integrate with leading point-of-sale (POS) cash till, access control, LPR (license plate recognition) and ATM systems.

eneo’s DLR5, TVR and PNR recorder ranges, central management iRAS software and RAS Mobile, remote viewing app, are all enabled.

eneo’s NPCII meets a retailers’ need for a smart and cost-effective POS and video surveillance solution, out-of-the-box. Data from cash tills, barcode scanners and card readers is linked to video so, for example, till receipt text can be displayed, or overlaid, on live video at the local monitor and viewed using the iRAS software or the RAS app. Users can assign video cameras to individual POS systems, such as linking cash till 1 to video camera 10. The text data can also be stored for efficient searching at a later date.

“Video data can be searched and retrieved using till receipt information, such as product names, combinations of names, card data and cashiers,” explained Martin Morris, eneo Business Development Manager UK & Ireland. “As an example, all video relating to sales of high value items like ‘whiskey’ made by ‘cashier 1’, during a defined time period, can be retrieved for closer examination. Equally, quantities of a particular product sold during a defined time frame can be counted. Searches can include one or many integrated POS systems.”

eneo offers a true, cost-effective, out-of-the-box integration with leading cash tills and complementary security systems.

“We used extensive customer feedback in the design of VideoXpert™, which has resulted in a refreshingly new offering in VMS solutions. With six monitors behaving as a single workstation it is simple and intuitive to use, compared to other VMS solutions.”
