With the required use of BIM for all major public sector construction projects, Idis will demonstrate how it can support the construction industry buying chain with its newly released BIM files. A major evolution beyond the origins of Computer Aided Design, BIM capability will make Idis surveillance part of a unified framework for the lifecycle management of building assets from design, construction to operations and maintenance.

Commenting, Billy Hopkins, Technical Manager, Idis Europe, said: “BIM is revolutionising the way buildings are designed, implemented and operated by integrating what were previously silos across the building life cycle. It’s important for us as a surveillance manufacturer to embrace BIM to support the construction industry in reducing procurement costs, allowing smoother integration of building assets and in doing so help ensure buildings are smarter and more efficient.”

The UK Security Expo will also see the Idis team will demonstrate how the company's true plug-and-play minimises the level of human risk during implementation together with proprietary protocols and file structures that makes them incredibly difficult to breach.

In addition, Idis offers highly robust video footage integrity through its patented Chained Fingerprint algorithm. Every single neighbouring image is chained with a finger print value. This chained finger print value is stored along with the images so that when images are exported if the chain is broken this signifies the possibility of tampering. This is incredibly important in terms of evidence as very often video footage is dismissed in courts because tampering cannot be ruled out. Together this high quality full-HD and 4K resolution and resilient network security make Idis solutions incredibly attractive to both local authorities and central government agencies as well as large enterprises.

Brian Song, Managing Director of Idis Europe, said: “With IP camera hacking a hot topic across the security industry the UK Security Expo will provide the perfect platform to show how Idis is leading the industry in terms of network security and data integrity. For this reason, as well as Idis signature high-performance, quality and reliability, we are seeing more and more organisations deploying Idis solutions for mission critical security operations.

“At the same time, the expo gives us the perfect opportunity to unveil our BIM capability, which is something we are seeing become standard in the construction industry not just in Europe, but globally and will be of particular interest to delegates from public sector as well consultants and those from the engineering and construction sector. Visitors will also get the chance to experience the Idis Total Solution that is purposely developed to meet any surveillance need, of any size—while guaranteeing one of the industry’s lowest total costs of ownership.”

Visitors to UK Security Expo will also have the chance to get hand-on demonstrations of the latest Idis innovations including Idis Solution Suite, highly scalable and modular enterprise-level video management software (VMS), that comes with free software and firmware updates, so customers only pay once for the modules they need. Other product advancements on show will include the award-winning Idis Smart UX Controls and the popular Idis Super Fisheye that are both designed to deliver smooth manoeuvrability.
