While exhibiting at Security Essen, Canon Europe announced a new partnership with digivod, a provider of video management software (VMS).

The firms say that their partnership will enable themto provide a flexible and scalable security system that can be adapted to suit businesses across key verticals, including retail, warehousing and petrol stations.

Canon’s network cameras will be supported by digivod’s software, which will enhance the cameras’ in-built intelligent self-learning analytics, including different filters to classify identified objects. The digivod VMS supports cameras with a resolution of up to 8 megapixels and enables Canon customers to incorporate license plate recognition into their security systems. The optional feature identifies characters starting at a 16 pixel font size and detects alpha numeric characters in the four most common text types (Latin, Arabic, Cyrillic and Chinese). Once activated, security systems can be set up to trigger an alarm after certain license plates have been detected.

Dr Karsten Fourmont, digivod CEO says: “Our customers need tailored security offerings to suit their needs. To help meet this expectation, we are pleased to be partnering with Canon to access its high-quality lens technology and provide a simple, flexible and reliable solution.”

And Julian Rutland, Planning and Strategy Director, Canon Europe, says: “We’re delighted to work closely with digivod to offer a scalable security system for any business size, ranging from SMBs to enterprises. Working closely with key partners to enhance our security offering is a key focus for us and we regard Security Essen as the ideal event to announce our latest agreement and further establish our presence in the security market.” Visit: cpn.canon-europe.com/networkcameras.
