VMS new version

by Mark Rowe

Wavestore, the British manufacturer of Video Management Software (VMS), has launched v6.4 of its VMS. As for unauthorised access to security systems, in this latest release, Wavestore adds SSL and TLS protocol e-mail transmission to further protect against potential interception of alerts transmitted via e-mail to a long list of pre-configured security measures, which include up to 4096bit video encryption, password policy enforcement, authorisation of connected devices, privilege separation and protection against ‘man-in-the-middle’ attacks. Wavestore says it operates pro-active independent vulnerability assessment and is committed to the continued development of security measures to protect users of its software.

In response to partner feedback, v6.4 features built-in network diagnostic tools to aid the identification of network issues that could have an impact on overall system performance, for reducing time on site fault-finding during commissioning. The new version also has a simplified RAID array configuration via an intuitive set-up screen accessed from WaveView client software. This allows authorised users to add internal drives or connected storage to RAID arrays and configure or change RAID5 and RAID6 operation as required from a control room or a remote location. And v6.4 offers support for a wider range of third-party server hardware.

A user can now save individual camera bitrates to specific camera layouts. This is useful when recalling a layout that features a high number of HD cameras where the user may wish to have low-bitrate images displayed to maximise available bandwidth and client computer processing power, the developers say. If a specific camera is then selected for closer inspection, the stream can automatically switch to a higher quality bitrate. v6.4 sees the introduction of WaveView client software for Ubuntu and Redhat operating systems, adding to the already available Windows client software, to deliver a Linux client and server solution.

WaveView Mobile now features dual streaming support and, with layouts of 2 x 2 or greater, the application automatically selects lower bitrate streams for smooth video delivery to Android and iOS devices, even it is claimed over bandwidth-limited connections.

Wavestore’s Open Platform Technology Partner Programme continues to expand with v6.4 integrating with the latest camera models from vendors such as Axis, Hikvision, Dahua and Hanwha Techwin alongside several new and enhanced integration modules including Raytec LED lighting, AllGoVision video analytics and Tattile and Intelico’s Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR).
