Hanwha Techwin and TDSi unite their video surveillance and access control solutions

The Wisenet SSM VMS has been integrated with the EXgarde Pro tool thanks to a transaction server module that links access control activity with the corresponding video captured by Wisenet cameras.

Hanwha Techwin has integrated the SSM video management software with the EXgarde Pro PC access management application TDSi. This has been achieved through a transaction server module that is part of the Wisenet SSM VMS solution and links access control activity with the corresponding video captured by Wisenet cameras.

Any unauthorized person attempting to enter a sensitive area of the building, For example, an alert will be generated and images of the incident will be displayed on a monitor or videowall.

Other possible actions include activating PTZ dome cameras, near the access and initiate a preconfigured tour of the surrounding areas to allow operators to have a full view and understanding of what might be happening, as well as viewing the corresponding access control point on a building plan.

TDSi's access control solutions and Hanwha Techwin's video surveillance solutions are increasingly specified in the same projects. With this in mind, it is logical that system integrators expect a high level of integration between the two technologies to offer their clients a complete and effective solution, comments Tim Biddulph, Head of Product and Solutions at Hanwha Techwin Europe.

EXgarde Pro and Wisenet SSM

EXgarde Pro is a PC software application for complete access management, which can be used to control a door of a facility with a small number of users or to manage thousands of doors across multiple facilities, with thousands of users.

It is designed to directly integrate many functionalities of a security and building management system using a single database and a single user interface. These features include fire and intrusion detection, building automation and management, Active Directory and biometric technologies, as well as video surveillance.

Wisenet SSM has been designed by Hanwha Techwin to ensure that users get the most benefit from a wide range of Wisenet IP network cameras, recording devices and servers, facilitating integration with third-party systems, such as access control and intrusion alarms. It is also compatible with specialized analytics applications that can run on Wisenet cameras.
