Highlights of Wave VMS 6.0 include a redesigned user management interface, enhanced Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) integration, upgraded calendars, camera linking via hotspot/teleport, and the ability to add temporary users.

Similar to previous Wave VMS releases, all features are supported across the mobile, desktop and server versions of the platform, and with any operating system. In addition, Hanwha Vision’s Wave Sync allows users to remotely access, view, share and manage their Wave VMS systems directly from a web browser.

“Organisations need greater flexibility in how they configure and operate their surveillance system, and that includes their choice of VMS,” said John Lutz Boorman, Head of Product and Marketing, Hanwha Vision Europe. “Whether they’re managing a handful of employees at one location, or hundreds across multiple sites, they need to have centralised, 24/7 transparent visibility into every aspect of their system’s health and status, from any platform, and Wave VMS 6.0 fulfils that perfectly.”

Enhanced user management

Improved and redesigned user management – System administrators can assign permissions to individuals and groups through a streamlined user interface and assign members to multiple preset groups to decrease user setup time.

For temporary users organisations can grant temporary access and permissions tailored to users’ varying needs. For example, administrators have full control over the amount of time temporary users can spend on the system.  Time limits can be set to varying times of day, seasonally, etc.

LDAP Integration 

Organisations using LDAP environments, which enable centralised monitoring and activity detection by tracking user logins, permissions, and directory data, can map employee groups to user roles in their VMS for streamlined access management.

• Configuration of LDAP through the WAVE VMS Client

• Continuous synchronisation of active directory

• Supports mapping between LDAP groups and user roles

New system features

Camera linking hotspot/teleport means that users are able to seamlessly navigate large systems by connecting cameras.  This allows them to track persons or vehicles between cameras within the viewing pane, and to add multiple hotspots to easily move between cameras; hotspots provide further information on camera placement.

Nvidia hardware decoding support

Systems equipped with NVIDIA graphic processing units (GPUs) achieve smoother video playback and live monitoring.  This can help reduce central processing unit usage by up to 20-30%

In addition users can route emails via Wave Sync instead of through Simple Mail Transport Protocol (SMTP), for a streamlined process.

• Sends API request to notifications service instead of using SMTP settings

• Wave Sync users will now receive email notifications

There is also a new look calendar enabling Wave users to locate footage more efficiently, quickly navigating by year, month, day, and time of day.
