Systems are managed using a software product developed by Integra S, which is authored by the author of a utility model.

The program is registered in the FMPS under No. 20111111111 and has the name "Integra-Video"

The Integra-Video digital video surveillance system has the following characteristics:

- software compression is performed, PCI-Express

(updated interface, speed, extended functionality)

- video surveillance with the most convenient interface, visual perception and flexible arrangement of cameras in the set.

- allows continuous visual monitoring, video recording and motion detection in protected areas. Video motion detection transforms a surveillance and recording system into an active hazard detection system and thereby provides an operational response.

The scalability of the Integra-Video complex allows you to build a distributed structure of any complexity with the connection of an unlimited number of cameras, objects and users. The user is transmitted only the required video information in accordance with the request or the specified algorithms.

In the interface of the Integra-Video program, there are individual settings for each camera - image resolution, frame rate, camera location and its size relative to the main window or desktop are configured.

Due to the new transmission protocol, the throughput and speed of the communication channel are increased.

Automatic change of sets by time allows you to include sets on a schedule, to adjust the image on a schedule. The set can be selected either from the list by name or by remote control by number.

It is possible to view the archive of one camera at once in several time intervals (several windows).

The system works with types of cameras - analog, digital, stationary, rotary with the PELco-D protocol (through integration), IP-cameras (AXIS, Arecont, Mobitex, D-link, Sony, etc.

Functionality of the control program:

1. Display

All cameras are displayed on object plans (in integration). To display video information, full-screen and multi-screen formats are used. Pinching the video stream to the image size on the client. Save traffic and the ability to output 200 cameras on one monitor (in low quality, but at 25 fps). Implemented for any capture devices and IP equipment. Support for a large number of IP devices. Capturing more than 1 stream from IP cameras will allow you to connect more than 40 high-resolution IP cameras to the server for archiving, displaying, detecting and broadcasting the video stream to client locations.

Software and hardware automatic adjustment of brightness and contrast depending on the time of day, weather conditions and schedule are provided. Management of rotary and other actuators is carried out programmatically.

2. Recording

Various archive recording modes can be set - permanent, scheduled. The combination of different modes allows you to filter non-essential information and thereby reduce the volume of video archives by several times. The program supports backup archive and cyclic playback of pictures from a folder or avi - file. Video archives can be stored on various media (hard disk, CD, DVD, flash-memory, etc.). This provides ease of use, storage duration and compactness of large volumes of information. Integra-Video uses an optimized method of access to media (HDD, etc.), which increases the recording speed by 40% compared to the usual frame-by-frame recording used by most video surveillance applications. In addition, buffering has been implemented to compensate for short-term peak loads when recording to a video archive (for example, when reconnecting IP equipment, while triggering sensors, with a sharp change in illumination, etc.) and avoiding frame loss.

3. Archive management

For a quick search of the required information, various criteria are applied - by date, by camera, by event. In this case, the search and analysis of the recording section of interest in the archive is carried out without interrupting the recording process. The recording section of interest in the archive can be recorded in the widespread avi format, which will allow you to play it on any system. Implemented the ability to quickly upload several archive sections to the universal avi format. The function of cloning the archive (copying) and quickly removing archive information from several servers for viewing on a remote terminal with the Integra Video program installed without loss of quality has been implemented.

4. Surveillance and network management

The system provides data transfer through a computer network, the Internet, telephone channels, cellular channels, Wi-Fi. This allows you to monitor and control the video system at remote sites anywhere in the world. A user on a remote computer can view network cameras in real time and video archives, record the cameras of interest on the hard drive and set additional motion detection zones independent of those already installed on the server. The web interface also allows you to configure the Integra-Video server / client. Information is received on the video client with minimal delays - less than 200 ms.

A unique telemetry control component that provides for all possible non-standard requests of users of video surveillance systems, for example, a control request with the possibility of transferring control, transferring control by timeout, refusal to control, refusal, and ignoring the user's requests. Delays in telemetry control are also minimal - less than 80 ms from the operator’s action to sending a command to the actuator. Users are divided into groups with their priorities and many other settings. Possibility of remote client management (output of selected cameras to a multi-monitor set).

5. Reliability

The program includes a system of self-monitoring equipment. The software module for analyzing the state and remote diagnostics of the server using the service - communication, camera status, viewing Windows events, server uptime and warning of failures, etc. The hardware reboot module eliminates system freezing. Remote software update module using the service - hot-swap drives. For IP devices (not a capture card), you can use the emergency load balancing algorithm - if one of the servers fails, the working servers, according to the built-in algorithm, take over some of the functions of the failed server. This ensures uninterrupted operation of the system and the availability of a video archive in case of failure of one or more servers.

6. PTZ control module

Allows you to control PTZ cameras with the Peico-D and P. protocol. Control can be carried out from the keyboard, using the mouse and a special joystick. The device is connected via an interface converter. Today, the module works in Integra-Video, through Integration.

7. Motion Detection

Video motion detection allows you to attract operator attention to movements in the protected area. This frees the operator from monotonous work and reduces the likelihood that an important event will go unnoticed. An unlimited number of video detection zones of arbitrary shape and size can be set for each camera. For each zone, it is possible to set the minimum and maximum size of the object, the contrast and speed of movement, the schedule of each detector. These settings allow you to identify only what requires the attention of the operator. This ensures that there are no false positives. When motion is detected in the protected area, the system displays a real image from the alarm camera.

In the event of a video detector triggering, a remote user is given an alarm message and a video image indicating the camera on the plan.

8. Module for automatic tracking of moving objects

The system works with PTZ cameras through the Integra-Video 5 program, as well as tracking domed objects detected by the dome camera. Using the PTZ camera allows you to track objects on the territory and accompany them in automatic mode. It allows you to simultaneously track 4 or more objects in different cameras and record events.

9. Sound capture

Ability to capture sound locally and remotely - recording. including videoconference.

Audio and video communication (works in a local area network) of two or more remote objects is carried out in real time via a local area network or the global computer network Internet.

10. Access and user rights.

Ability to set user rights in order to limit user access to change program settings and view cameras and archive. The ability to create user groups, each of which will have certain rights.

A unique telemetry control component that provides for all possible non-standard requests of users of video surveillance systems, for example, a control request with the possibility of transferring control, transferring control by timeout, refusal to control, refusal and ignoring requests from this user and many other settings. Users are divided into groups with their priorities.

11. Using multiple monitors

The ability to output cameras and work with multiple monitors simultaneously (at least 8), construction and support of Video Walls.

12. Alarm camera set

A special kit that displays the cameras that triggered the motion detector.

13. Network traffic

In order to reduce the size of the network diagram (relevant for narrow communication channels), there are a number of settings that are carried out directly on the network client itself:

- setting a limit on the number of frames received;

- setting limits on the size of received frames;

- Changes to the codec settings.

14. Confidentiality of video information
