Functionalities

Multi-monitor support

Enables simultaneous viewing of multiple protected areas on monitors with resolutions up to 4K, ideal for surveillance centers and facilities requiring constant control. Video views displayed on monitors can be configured in any way that is appropriate and convenient for the operator. Image decoding from cameras can be performed using the computational power of the GPU graphics card processor.

PTZ camera control

Fast and intuitive control of PTZ cameras, as well as stationary cameras equipped with motor-zoom lenses. Control is available from the image level and a dedicated PTZ tool. Using fisheye cameras, we have the ability to create virtual views and use virtual PTZ in places where installing multiple cameras is limited.

DEEP LEARNING IMAGE ANALYSIS

Enables detection of suspicious behavior and classification of object types. The applied algorithm allows the camera to recognize the shape of humans, cars and motorcycles. It also includes other analytical functions that improve security and allow for faster response to threats.

Preview, playback, recording download

Exceptionally efficient display of multiple video streams simultaneously without excessive load on the computer’s main CPU processor thanks to image decoding using the computational power of GPU graphics card processors. Intuitive recording download from playback tools or dedicated menu. Possibility of automatic recording download according to defined schedules.

Thermal Imaging

Thermal imaging is created based on thermal radiation emitted by objects. Thanks to this, thermal cameras enable effective observation even in complete darkness and during adverse weather conditions such as fog, where standard cameras, even those equipped with IR illuminators, do not perform well. Additionally, thermal cameras have been equipped with image analysis functions, thanks to which the effectiveness of object detection is very high.

Thanks to the “Early fire detection” function, the camera can detect fires in the initial stage, before flames or smoke appear. By analyzing the image, the camera detects point heat sources with high temperature, which allows for quick alarm generation. This function is particularly useful in places with high fire risk, such as warehouses, factories and public utility facilities, enabling quick response and damage minimization.

Thermo Dual Vision is a function available in dual cameras. It enables overlaying thermal imaging on visual image, which significantly improves the detail of the recorded image.

ACTIVE DETERRENCE

Active deterrence allows the camera to detect objects and react to them in order to deter potential intruders. When the camera detects an object, it can shine continuous or flashing light, emit warning sounds or voice messages (the number and selection of deterrence functions may vary depending on the camera model). This function aims to protect the monitored place, discourage the intruder from further actions and deter them without the need for security intervention.

IP AND HYBRID SYSTEMS

Integration with IP and hybrid systems provides flexibility in adapting to existing monitoring infrastructure, enabling smooth transition to new technologies.

COMPANY STRUCTURE

Enables defining the company’s organizational structure and assigning employees to it, significantly increasing program transparency and functionality. It is possible, for example, to assign permissions to operators or generate working time reports only for a selected part of the organizational structure.

GLOBAL FUNCTIONS

Global zones, visualized on panels, combined with virtual zones and global anti-passback function, enable tracking occupancy of individual areas and facilities. This facilitates quick person location, managing their transfer between zones and blocking zones after alarm system arming.

Global airlocks allow mutual monitoring of door opening status in defined groups, which is particularly important in access control systems such as penitentiaries.

ELEVATOR AND FLOOR ACCESS CONTROL

Controllers and expansion modules enable precise management of floor access, increasing security and eliminating unauthorized movement. Depending on the chosen solution, a reader installed before elevator entrance can control its calling, and one installed in the elevator cabin controls access to individual floors.

Access permissions for individual floors or floor groups can be easily assigned to KD system cards. Additionally, the system operator can temporarily unlock all floors or unlock a selected floor once at the request of a user without a card. All floors can also be unlocked using an emergency button.

A camera installed in the elevator cabin can be assigned to the cabin reader and the function of saving a frame to the card reading event can be configured (video verification).

VIDEO VERIFICATION

After using an identifier (e.g., card, access code, etc.) by the user, the user’s photo saved in the system database appears on the screen, linked with a frame from the camera placed above the reader. Thanks to this solution, quick person identification is possible, increasing security through additional identity verification.

All events from both the access control system and other systems can be linked with selected video surveillance cameras. Thanks to this functionality, during event log search, photos from the moment of event occurrence are also available, enabling their efficient verification on image.

BIOMETRIC IDENTIFICATION

Biometric identification support ensures secure and convenient access exclusively for authorized persons. This solution eliminates the risk of losing access cards and their unauthorized transfer.

ACCESS AFTER OPERATOR CONFIRMATION

For additional security of key passages, door opening can occur only after verification and confirmation by the operator monitoring system operation. After bringing an authorized card close to the reader, the system generates a notification at the operator station, who verifies the user’s identity based on their photo added to the system and grants access by clicking the appropriate button on the screen. In case the operator does not see the passage directly, the video stream from an integrated NOVUS brand device monitoring the controlled passage can be used for user identity verification – so-called access video verification.

HIGHEST LEVEL OF SECURITY

Properly designed, installed and configured access control system using NOVUS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AC software and HID® Aero® brand access control devices meets the requirements of PN-EN 60839-11-1:2014-01 standard for security grade 4 (Grade 4), guaranteeing maximum protection level adapted to specific facility requirements.
