Video systems are designed to permit surveillance of the most high-risk areas of your buildings. But some areas require more than the average coverage. Ahearn & Soper systems allow users to switch cameras and angles on command to permit a complete view of important locations. They also allow users to verify alarms on sight - and "virtually on site" with full video coverage of susceptible building locations. What's more, it could also lower your insurance and liability payments.

System Benefits

Deters vandalism and theft
Boosts employee safety
Helps reduce liability and insurance costs
Discourages false accident claims
Monitors high-risk areas instantly and easily

Premier Digital Video Solution

OnGuard Video is the most powerful digital video management application on the market, offering features that are unique in the industry. OnGuard Video delivers advanced data mining and investigative capabilities, whether it is implemented as a standalone digital video management system, or as a seamlessly integrated component of Lenel's Total Security Knowledge Management Solution.

Real-Time Linkage of Video to System Alarms

Using OnGuard Video, digital video clips can be linked in real time to alarms associated with them. Cameras can be linked to specific hardware devices to create an association in the OnGuard database. If an alarm or an event occurs at a given device, the video will be recorded by the associated camera(s). Pre- and post-roll time periods can be configured for every alarm or event in the system. Comprehensive traces, queries and reports can be run to assist in an investigation.

Seamless Integration, Ease of Use

With OnGuard Video, system operators can view and manage access control events and digital video footage on the same workstation, using the same intuitive graphical user interface. Because OnGuard Video is seamlessly integrated, all alarms and events, including links to video clips, are stored in the same database. All configuration, linkage, and display of alarm-related video is just a mouse click away.

Standard Video Capture Technology

Lenel offers an eight channel video board that multiplexes 30 frames per second (fps) across all eight channels on the board, with a maximum recording rate of 15 fps possible on up to two channels. For long term storage, video can be archived to other media sources, including industry standard tape libraries and hard disk arrays. OnGuard Video offers immediate retrieval of video on demand.

New Generation of 30 Frames Per Second Technology

Lenel's newest digital video board provides real-time, 30 frames per second video recording for each camera associated with it. Lenel leads the market in offering this high frame rate recording capability. The solution is ideally suited for use in casinos, banks, point of sale operations and other high security environments that require real-time video recording. It is available in 4, 8, 12 and 16 channel configurations.

Digital Time-Lapse Recording

Digital time-lapse recording significantly reduces the space required for online and archived video storage. OnGuard Video can be configured to digitally record video at a very low frame rate when no motion is detected. Then, when motion is detected, the recording frame rate can be automatically increased to capture the event with greater detail. Parameters can be configured individually for each camera, including a pre-roll at the higher frame rate prior to motion.

High Capacity Online Storage

Lenel's extended storage video recorder (DV3) can operate alongside Lenel's standard video recorder (DVS). The DV3 boasts a total online storage capacity of more than 1 Terabyte. When other vendors' solutions are forced to start overwriting video information on smaller hard drives and lower storage volume, the OnGuard solution can continue recording without the loss of critical video data. Because the digital video recorder can store more days of online video information than was previously possible, some customers may not even require archival storage. This simplifies system management and lowers total cost of ownership. The extended storage chassis is available in RAID 5 configurations.

Windows 2000 Professional

IT administrators understand the benefits of a system that utilizes a robust and reliable operating system. OnGuard Video has been designed to run on the Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional operating platform. Furthermore, OnGuard is the only Windows 2000 Certified application available in the security industry.

Centralized Administration Management

Centralized administration is a hallmark of the OnGuard solutions portfolio. All video recorders, cameras and other hardware can be configured and managed from within the OnGuard Video application. No third party software is needed. Authorized OnGuard system operators can add, modify and delete both software and hardware device records from a single administrative workstation. OnGuard Video provides complete workstation control over all aspects of video monitoring and management. From motion sensitivity to compression control, system operators have everything they need right at their fingertips. They can even adjust camera brightness, color and contrast, and access the pan, tilt and zoom controls.

Centralized Archiving Architecture

OnGuard Video offers the ability to archive video information from multiple video recorders to a single, centralized location on the network. The OnGuard archival architecture reduces the number of man-hours required to maintain the system, thereby minimizing total cost of ownership. All administrative tasks, including general system maintenance, can be performed at a single centralized location, rather than requiring that these tasks be performed locally at each video recorder.

Video Clip Exports

Important digital video clips can be copied, exported and sent via e-mail to any industry-standard media, or through any industry-standard network infrastructure. The information can then be viewed using the Lenel VideoViewer or any standard media player.

Matrix View

Using the Matrix View in OnGuard Video, live or recorded video can be displayed in up to 32 different windows simultaneously. In Matrix View, video windows can be resized from 50% up to 200%, to accommodate user preference or a unique application. The Matrix View includes a digital zoom feature, with which a user can zoom in for a closer view of the object, or zoom out of the video window to see the camera's entire field of view.
