Kyle Parker, Vice President of Americas Sales for Arecont Vision Costar, accepted the award on behalf of the company. “We are very appreciative that our new total solution has received this amazing industry recognition,” said Mr. Parker. “With this product and services offering, our customers now have excellent additional cloud-enabled choices that include our technology-leading megapixel cameras, video recorders, and advanced VMS software, or using component products integrated with other ONVIF-compliant or Megalab certified vendor products.”

Announced in the first half of 2018, the Total Video Solution delivers the key components required for a modern video surveillance system from a single, proven video surveillance manufacturer. The solution includes Arecont Vision Costar’s Mega IP single-, dual-, and multi-sensor megapixel cameras that help ensure maximum cyber security. Also included are the new world-class Contera IP megapixel camera series with choice single- and multi-sensor models that offer industry-standard capabilities and powerful additional features.

To complete the new solution, Arecont Vision Costar also added advanced video management software with the Contera VMS and the Contera CMR family of four cloud-managed video recorders. Contera WS web services completes the offering, bringing a range of cloud-enabled benefits to both end user customers and to systems integrators and security dealers. When deployed as a total solution, the customer merges the reliability of local recording with video distribution, viewing, and administration over the cloud in a cost-effective and highly cyber-secure manner.

Customers may select a complete solution from Arecont Vision Costar, or integrate their choice of components with existing cameras, VMS or NVR systems, and infrastructure via ONVIF compliance. The Megalab test facility has also been used by dozens of other industry leading vendors to go beyond ONVIF standards, ensuring the best possible integration with Arecont Vision Costar products.
