Presence Awareness System for Secure Areas

Combines Real Time Location Tracking, Access Control,
Gate Automation, Video Surveillance and Two Way Audio Communications
The IMSYS Presence Awareness System is a real time tracking and access control solution. IPAS
Secure, is designed to provide real time visibility of people and assets and to enable automated
data collection of asset information, including location. IPAS Secure is a highly configurable software
application that uses active RFID tags and readers to track the location of people and assets
through out secure facilities. Combined with industry standard access control, e.g. HID Global,
IPAS Secure gives you the ability to monitor and manage facilities and key business processes.
IPAS Secure will locate and record the movements of people, assets and shipments anywhere
with a reader network and record the movement of ‘tags’ in predefined areas and govern those
movements with a system of rules. IPAS Secure is a high quality, cost effective end to end solution
that incorporates network video management solutions as well video analytics. The system is
scalable from standalone to a globally networked and can be customized to meet user’s specific
process.

A map based interface makes IPAS Secure
intuitive and easy to use, quickly showing users where people and assets are located
while being able to control access to sensitive
areas. The voice over IP intercom feature
allows two way voice communication while
cameras feed live video to IPAS Secure
providing critical security information.

IPAS Storage by Pivot3 CloudBank appliances deliver both server and shared storage resources for centralized environments needing high-capacity protected storage. Up to twelve CloudBanks can be configured together as a high-performance iSCSI SAN called a RAIGETM Array. Each CloudBank contributes a free virtual server that can access the shared capacity and performance of the SAN. Both storage and applications are protected in the case of a CloudBank failure. The award-winning innovation of hosting servers in an iSCSI SAN eliminates the need for standalone physical servers resulting in dramatic reduction in power, cooling, rack space and cost.
| Free virtual server included |
Scales to petabytes of RAID-protected iSCSI storage |
| Easy-to-use open-systems platform |
Application failover for server applications |
High-availability iSCSI SAN -CloudBanks can be combined to create a scalable iSCSI SAN array with no single point of failure. Storage can be logically and physically expanded with applications running.
Save up to 40% on power - A virtual server running on each CloudBank eliminates external physical servers and reduces rackspace, power, cooling and acquisition costs.
Reduce support costs - Improve uptime for applications with VM FailoverTM which automatically restarts applications on an available CloudBank in the event of an appliance failure.
Simplify configurations - Intuitive open-system appliances simplify configuring centralized storage regardless of application performance and capacity requirements.

Security Cameras
IP video surveillance is fast becoming the norm when it comes to advanced video surveillance for businesses and government agencies
Some of the advantages of IP-based video surveillance include:
- Reduced system cost and added functionality due to general-purpose IP networking equipment infrastructure.
- Choice of open-platform video recording hardware and software.
- Greatly reduced system cost due to low-cost cabling in large installations (CAT5e instead of RG-59 coaxial cable).
- Ability to use Power over Ethernet allowing for one cable to handle power and data.
- Flexible and seamless support for a variety of standard and multi-megapixel image resolutions way beyond NTSC, PAL and SECAM.
- Transmission of commands for PTZ (pan, tilt, zoom) cameras via the same cable.
- On-camera automated alerting via email or file transfer in response to video motion detection or dry-contact alarms.
- Support for different streaming media and compression formats to relieve transmission bandwidth and data storage requirements.
- Support for new embedded intelligent video motion detection with shape recognition/counting applied to objects, people, and vehicles.
- Integration of video surveillance with other systems and functions such as access control, alarm systems, building management, traffic management, etc.
- Future-proof installations with field-upgradeable products due to the ability to upgrade camera firmware over the network.
Today there are many vendors of IP cameras and many vendors for digital video recorders and network video recorder (NVR) software. IP surveillance equipment vendors typically include both specialized digital imaging equipment manufacturers and larger manufacturers that are active in consumer, broadcast, and security video.

Intelligent Video Systems - Now a days, tremendous amounts of video is being recorded, yet never watched or reviewed, due to lack of time. This results in events and activities being missed, and suspicious behavior is not noticed in time to prevent incidents. This has led to the development of Intelligent Video.
Examples of video analytics applications include: counting the number of pedestrians entering a door or geographic region, determining the location, speed and direction of travel, identifying suspicious movement of people or assets, license plate identification or evaluating how long a package has been left in an area.
Motion Detection
- Enables an automatic alert system
- Intelligence learns Background and provides filters
Object Tracking
- Solves sensitivity problem but object differentiation is rudimentary
Behavior Recognition
- Solves object differentiation to reduce false alarms
- Recognizes interaction of multiple object behaviors
