Vista’s revolutionary new Video Management Software (VMS), Qulu, has been shortlisted in the ‘CCTV Camera Equipment of the Year’ category, while the new IP monitor – the first of its kind on the market, is shortlisted in the ‘CCTV System of the Year’ category.

Zoe Yates, Vista IP Product Manager, comments: "We’ve already received incredible feedback from customers that have seen these products in action. Having leading industry peers confirm this reaction is fantastic and really reaffirms the work that’s gone into developing the products. Vista is dedicated to providing customers with the best IP CCTV products on the market and can offer a true end to end solution for IP installations.”

According to Vista, the Qulu VMS has been designed to provide users with a high level of power, performance and also allows users to interact with video in new ways.  This VMS supports 3rd party cameras, including fisheyes, which prevents constraints on the customer when selecting cameras.  Thus enabling the user to match the best camera to the application without concerns that the software may not perform.  There is support for Windows, Linux and Apple Mac operating systems, allowing customers to use the operating system they are most comfortable with.  There are no base licenses or recurring annual fees, so no hidden costs.  Users just buy the licenses once with no need to renew each year.

The IP Monitor on the hand is being promoted as the industry-first IP monitor that can remotely display images on an IP system and without the need for a PC or client software. Until now, IP systems have required a conventional monitor and decoder to be used, providing D1 resolution images. The new 24” and 32” IP networked monitors from Vista have an inbuilt hardware decoder and can display high-definition, 1080p video from a single stream or four D1 streams from separate cameras in quad format.  The built-in IP decoder removes the need for additional PCs and clients to remotely display images on IP systems and the full HD images provide for crystal clear identification.  The monitor can also be programmed to display any 4 cameras from the network and the ONVIF protocol allows the display of images from multiple manufacturers cameras.
