Scandinavian design is known for combining pure elegance with requirements for quality and function. 'Designlite' is the elite of the industry in supplying lighting solutions designed by leading Scandinavian artists. Since the venue stores valuable stocks, it is required to have a reliable 24/7 video surveillance system with an active (versus passive) alert scheme in case of incidents. Users need to pre-define alert notifications based on the nature of the incident, for example motion detection, or I/O triggered events. This helps the control centre or store manager to act immediately whenever an emergency occurs.

Considering that cost of bandwidth may be an issue for such service, Arne Hald A/S, Geovision’s local distributor and system integrator, added the VSM service to their NVR-based surveillance installation consisting of Geovision IP cameras. Since VSM is a text-based alert system, it serves as a control centre when there is limited bandwidth. With a link to Arne Hald for VSM as value-added services, even a single shop can run a control centre conveniently at an affordable cost.

VSM not only helps with surveillance alerts, but it also keeps a pulse on functionality of the hardware. For example users may be alerted when hard disk recording experiences a malfunction, or if there are any inactive IP cameras for any reason.

Geovision’s IP camera with value-added VSM service helps shops to quickly setup a 24/7 high quality video monitoring centre, and ensures maximum up-time at an affordable cost.
