The German CCTV manufacturer Geutebruck reports that its G-Scope recorder family has a new version of the Video Engine G-Core 1.3 which offers more convenient browser access using G-Web. Users can see all their cameras of any G-Scope generation on any device – in one browser window. This gives users an overview of their system. Using individually configurable buttons they can control their object remotely, for example to open a door, start a video analysis or activate the intruder alarm. The resolution of the images transmitted is automatically adapted by the system – bandwidth optimised, dependent on the screen resolution. For more control, users can also manually adapt frame rate and resolution to their bandwidth.
The encryption feature for Axis and other cameras via https connection provides more protection to security systems. Encrypted image transfer from camera to server, from server to viewer and to the storage medium. Alarms can be automatically sent via e-mail, if needed also encrypted in TLS format.
The privacy functions of Geutebruck’s Video Engine G-Core 1.3 allow masking of specific areas of video images as well as pixelisation of motion. Based on rights profiles each user can only see what he is allowed to – independent of the user interface: whether it is the proprietary viewing application G-View, the browser-based G-Web or G-SIM, the security information system.
G-Core 1.3 provides more flexibility, as when using “fish-eye cameras” such as the G-Cam/EHC 3180, the new viewer-integrated “dewarping” function gives flexibility at the display of the images. A fisheye camera delivers all-round visibility, but quite distorted: the scene may look as if seen through a big bubble. With dewarping, the currently selected screen area is converted into the original dimensions for the viewer. The user controls the view by panning and tilting, or scene is displayed in multiple viewers in a panorama or quad view. This works not just in the live stream, but also for recorded images.
For flexibility, the number of interfaces to third party systems in G-Core is continually expanding, New interfaces are for example to access control provider Lenel, to the intercom systems from Commend and SchneiderIntercom or to the perimeter detection systems from Southwest Microwave.
