SmartControl Event Management System (EMS)
The new SmartControl EMS from Vista is a client-server system capable of controlling up to nine operator stations. The system provides a high-performance alarm management tool featuring dynamic alarm processing and database. The EMS is completely scalable for cost effective expansion and comprises of two main components:

EMS Server - the control centre application
This is the central communication interface between the digital Vista video transmission systems (SmartMobile, SmartDisc and SmartTel) and the operator stations equipped with EMS Client. The server is also the platform for the master and alarm databases allowing dynamic allocation of incoming alarms to the next available or designated operator.

EMS Client - for operator stations
The Client module gives dynamic alarm management, video archiving and processing for up to nine operators. Each client acts as the operation, alarm verification and configuration programme for the digital video transmission systems.
"With up to nine operator stations, this client-server system, provides a high-performance alarm management tool featuring dynamic alarm processing and database," says Andrew Pigram, Vista Brand Director.
"As remote monitoring becomes faster and more affordable, increased performance, features and expansion is required of the central monitoring station to handle the alarms, video and required site information and Vista's SmartControl EMS enables this.

SmartMobile
The SmartMobile range has been extended to accommodate 4 and 10 cameras and offers all the benefits of remote transmission and digital recording, with the added benefit of being truly mobile by meeting the Vibration Approvals EN 50155. Suitable for any remote access digital recording application, SmartMobile is compatible with the Vista family of Smart recording & transmission units as well as the full suite of monitoring software.
Among the features are the long-term recording onto removable hard disk drive with adaptive multi-track management for schedule-controlled, permanent recording, or video motion and contact-triggered event recording respectively. The system offers manual or event triggered connection for live video transmission to remote monitoring centres. Another advantage is the compact design, suitable for surface, flush, ceiling and 19" mounting.
"Vista are dedicated to providing high quality solutions to meet market demands, and by extending the Smart range, we have ensured that we continue to do just that," concludes Mr Pigram.
