  1. ViconNet Version 5 Sales Meeting Oct. 2008 Vicon National Sales Meeting Tampa, Florida October 16-18, 2008

  2. Release • Software is expected to be released by the end of October 2008 • The version 5 products will be available for sale at that time • It is still recommended not to sell V5 to those customers who don’t need V5 features, so we can have a controlled release

  3. ViconNet Version 5 • New software version includes a list of enhancements to the system • Open Platform • Mega Pixel cameras support • Enhanced Analytics Integration • Improved display offerings • Multicast and MPEG4 support • Quick playback for IP cameras • Running as a service • VMC maps, pre-view and status enhancements

  4. Open Platform • What is open platform? • The ability to accept many to any IP-based video into the video management system • Allow 3rd party cameras to be used in the ViconNet software • Specific for ViconNet • Keep supporting our own “build for security” cameras • Support all cameras on same GUI

  5. Supported Cameras • The following is a list of the cameras that have been tested and approved, other model from same manufacturers are likely to work as well but we can not guarantee without testing! • Remember! We depend on the manufacturer for compatibility

  6. 3rd party cameras tested • Axis – 211Q, 223(MP), 233(MP), 241 (server), 247 (PTZ) • Sony – SNC-RZ25N (PTZ), SNC-DF50N • Panasonic – WV-NP244, WV-NS202A • ACTi – N-IX1000AV, SCM-5611B (MP) • Arecont – AV3100, AV5100, AV8180 (dome), AV8360 (dome). Soon to support H.264 • IQeye – 302, 511

  7. Open Platform “Issues” • Every camera comes with a different set of supported functions • Camera update will probably require ViconNet to update • Most of these cameras are browser based and do not allow the same recording abilities as we get with ViconNet

  8. Mega Pixel Camera Support • Add the ability to support the high resolution Mega pixel cameras • Support the new I-Onyx 955 line as well as 3rd party mega pixel cameras • Support • Live and playback on ViconNet and VMC (VMC in MJPEG only) • Support digital zooming

  9. Enhanced Analytics Integration • Enhance the integration between ViconNet and the analytics server • Transparent communication • Graphical feedback on live and playback eliminates the need for the VI monitor software • Common user and alarms interface Analytics is value-added to video

  10. Display Offering • Support various resolution for the ViconNet GUI according to the PC spec • Adapt camera display to either 4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratio to present a correct video image

  11. Multicast and MPEG4/H.264 • The requests for multicast support as well as the need to support MPEG4 and H.264 compression is growing • Various manufactures already offer their IP cameras with these options • ViconNet 5 supports multicast with some of the these features with some of the 3rd party cameras (will be provided) • The new I-Onyx 857 and 955 also offer MPEG4 and Multicast supported by ViconNet

  12. Quick Playback for IP cameras • Enhancement allowing performing quick playback of an IP camera or encoder, without the need to record them locally on the viewing workstation • This feature is automatic and requires the camera to be recorded by macro somewhere in the system

  13. ViconNet as Service • This new feature solves an important IT requirement • Allows ViconNet to run as a service in the background, no GUI and allows locking the system down • This is mainly relevant for NVRs • Resumes itself automatically in case of machine reboot, with no need of login

  14. VMC Enhancements • Support of MAP GUI in VMC • Indication of another person using a certain monitor • Pre-view of a camera in the pre-view window even if there is no KRX defined in the system • Remember! I-Onyx 857 and 955 must be set to MJPEG to work in VMC!

  15. Storage With New Cameras • ViconNet based camera (existing models) have similar resolution to the Version 4 ones • New cameras 857 and 955 are MPEG4 based or MJPEG (if using VMC) • The recommended setting for these cameras is a constant bit rate (not subject to motion) for optimal operation • Storage in MPEG4 is very similar to what we have today, MJPEG is a larger storage • Separate storage calculator will be provided for these cameras

  16. Table 1: Constant Bit Rate Guidelines (MPEG-4 Mode*) *For Storage Calculator in M-JPEG mode, contact your Vicon Sales Representative. Table 2: Variable Bit Rate Parameters

  17. Compatibility • Version 5 supports ViconNet version 4 devices • In order to support the new features, the Nucleus must be upgraded to V5 • Any device that doesn’t need to support new features can stay on V4 • Example: existing system with 2 KEX and a workstation wants to add 2 Sony cameras. They will need to upgrade the WS to V5 with 2 3rd party license. The WS will both the DVRs and the Sony cameras while the DVRs will only each other until they are also upgraded to V5.

  18. Version 5 Licenses • 3rd Party camera connection fee • One time per camera fee • Nucleus holds all licenses for the system • Can be added on • VN-WS-SW and VN-WS-PC • Full control and management of the system without the ability to record (VN-1000 with no recording) • Lower Price than the current VN-1000 • VN-NVR-SW and VN-NVR-PC • Same as current VN-1000 • Meant to run primarily as NVR • Higher Price than the current VN-1000

  19. The Next Generation – Version 6 • Version 6 is scheduled for late 2009 to include the following: • Map enhancements • Event bookmarking and external alarms integration tools • Web browser viewer application • IT compliance enhancements • Auto-archiving of video • Events based video segment lock

  20. Map Enhancements • PTZ control from maps • Video on maps • Alarm indication on map icons • Camera position indication • Absolute position feedback from dome

  21. Event Bookmarking • Allow adding a text bookmark to a video segment during live view • Allow accepting bookmarks from external sources such as: POS, ATM and others • Allow searching the video by those bookmarks • Supports alarms from “any” source to tag the video

  22. Web Browser • Create a web browser viewer software • Self loading by browser (no installation) • View and control any camera • Run on any web browser • Allow remote connectivity over the Internet from “any” browser • Support of non-Microsoft browsers

  23. IT Compliance • Allow the transmission of video in Multicast mode for lower bandwidth networks from DVRs and ViconNet IP cameras / encoders • Support existing standard network formats as well as new TCP/IP standards (IPV6) • Integrate with Microsoft Active Directory for user management

  24. Auto Archiving of video • Allow automatic archives of video from the ViconNet system FIFO database to a permanent storage location • Expected to support archive on schedule and event

  25. Event Video Lock • Allow pre/post alarm segments to be locked into the database • Protect locked video from being overwritten by FIFO of database

  26. New IP Cameras and Encoders • Develop and support more IP cameras and new encoders: • Higher resolution (Mega Pixel range) • Higher FPS • Built-in analytics • Better pricing This is an support process parallel to the transition into IP-based systems

  27. KTX The Next Generation • Current KTX-4 is underpowered and we can’t support enough cameras at real-time • Will have a new KTX-4 with 4 real-time channels in ViconNet and H.264 in Q2-2009 • Depending on demand for encoders might be followed by new encoders

  28. New Storage Solution • Planned move to iSCSI based SAN • iSCSI uses copper CAT5/6 based wiring to reach the storage units • Separate networks are created for TCP/IP and for storage • Usually two NIC will be installed in every machine
