Honeywell has announced an updated version of its digital closed-circuit television surveillance system, Digital Video Manager (DVM). The latest release, DVM R500, sets new standards in operational efficiency, cost-effectiveness and performance through a redesigned user interface, smart diagnostics and forensic search capabilities, and improved integration with access control and other security technologies.
Honeywell Building Solutions offers among the widest technology portfolios to make any facility – commercial or industrial – safer and more secure, more comfortable and more energy efficient. The addition of the DVM R500 to the portfolio offers an interface that follows established multimedia principles, creates intuitive, agile navigation, thus helping boost productivity and reduce security event response times.
“To stay ahead of the increasing threats impacting businesses and organisations, security personnel need advanced and intelligent technology to protect their assets and promote safety,” said Vikas Chadha, Regional General Manager – India, Honeywell Building Solutions. “DVM R500 helps users identify and address would-be issues before they cause problems or damage — all while increasing ease of use and operational efficiency.”
New recording and playback capabilities, combined with the improved interface, can also help security personnel quickly pinpoint potential threats and react before they become incidents. By providing various, time-coordinated views, the same tools can reduce forensic investigation time after an event. In addition, DVM R500 helps decrease lifecycle costs by leveraging global open security standards such as ONVIF to enhance system interoperability. This enables organisations to use the latest security cameras and equipment while protecting past technology investments.
DVM R500 is also an integral component of Honeywell Enterprise Buildings Integrator (EBI), an award-winning building management system that ties all aspects of a security solution together, including video, access control and intrusion detection. EBI integrates comfort, life safety, energy and other core facility controls as well. And this gives users a single point of access to all the essential information and resources needed to monitor, manage and protect a facility, campus or multi-site operation. As a result, security directors have optimised visibility and intelligence, and can deploy their staff and resources more efficiently and effectively.
