ACTi provides a full line of MPEG-4 ASP compliant IP cameras, video encoders, decoders, and transcoders. Ortega's flagship software, VideoSmart, is a Video Management System (VMS) that provides comprehensive centralized managements of disparate video subsystems (analog/IP cameras, encoders/decoders, DVRs, matrix switches, etc.) through intuitive web-based interface. VideoSmart has been designed to fully integrate with all ACTi equipment, and together, they offer one of the most comprehensive IP video security solutions in the market.
Many police departments throughout California want a video security solution that leverages existing technology to enhance the situational awareness and to provide critical information directly to the security officers including access to premise video cameras, floor plans, access/exit points, contact lists, and pre-planned staging/command areas. They especially want a solution that provides relevant information upon an alarm incident such as intrusion, fire, or any pre-configured alarm. The combined ACTi and Ortega solution can deliver these requirements and more.
At Woodlake Police Department, the video surveillance solution manages video security at the headquarters and a nearby work yard. ACTi provides MPEG-4 IP video cameras (CAM-5101, CAM-7100, and CAM-7101) while Ortega provides the VideoSmart Video Management Software (VMS). This surveillance installation takes advantage of power over Ethernet to minimize cabling installations and includes a wireless segment, making it an advance modern surveillance system.
Exeter Police Department uses its video surveillance system to manage video security at the police headquarters along with the city hall and a nearby water tower. ACTi provides MPEG-4 IP cameras (CAM-5120, CAM-5200, and CAM-7100) while Ortega provides the VideoSmart VMS to provide centralized management on a web-based intuitive interface.
At another police department, ACTi and Ortega products work together to provide a video surveillance system that manages both existing analog cameras with the new ACTi MPEG-4 IP cameras. Based on ACTi PCI-4100 the VideoSmart VMS manages these IP cameras along with 11 existing analog cameras seamlessly through one centralized intuitive interface. This system also replaced an old matrix switch and a set of old analog monitors with modern plasma displays that can show crisp clear video from all the cameras.
