Random House
Random House Surveillance

Our digital video security system replaces analog tape-based systems in any application that needs reliable, low-maintenance video security with Internet, LAN or modem access. The system leverages the low cost of high capacity hard disk drives and fast, powerful PCs to create a powerful, easy to use video security system. This software is compatible with Windows 9x, NT, XP & 2000.

Scalable, extensible video security
Whether you need 2 cameras for your home or small business, or 1000 cameras distributed over multiple locations with hierarchical central station monitoring, Random House offers a solution. Random House's, building block deployment strategy means that you can create a system exactly suited to your needs. Huge security systems are built from the same components as small systems - just more of them. Start with a basic security system and grow the system as your business grows.

Machine vision system sees moving objects
Continually monitor video input from all your security cameras, scanning for moving objects larger than a threshold size set by you. When a security event is triggered, it automatically records video to your PC's hard disk. It detects movement directly from the video, so motion detection will work with any video format security camera.

Home Security
Our software does not rely on conventional make/break circuits or space detectors, so you can protect open areas as well as older buildings and outdoor structures. Random House lets you build an advanced video security system that you can access from nearly anywhere by modem, ISDN or the Internet. With its built-in security CAD system and flexible triggering options, our software can integrate with your existing alarm contacts to protect both the inside and exterior of your home. Exterior cameras give you a complete time-stamped video audit trail of everyone who approaches your home

You can configure the system to be active only during certain hours. Pager integration and instant remote access by modem or DSL gives you 7 day 24 hours coverage. You may see what raised a security event, you can virtually eliminate false alarms.

Random House makes it easy and economical to protect second homes or other remote locations. Pager integration and automatic dial-out when a security event is detected means you only need a shared analog phone line for full communications capability. You own the equipment, so there are no recurring charges.


Small to Medium Business Security

Two to sixteen security cameras can run on one to four networked PCs, possibly in multiple locations. Video identity verification and electronic door release can be done from any workstation on the network. Communication path can be modem, DSL or WAN. Video Guard's scalability, communications capability, and integration with a wide range of security hardware make it an ideal base for a small business security system.

Business hours security
During business hours Random House can provide very cost-effective security coverage. Some of Video Guard's applications include:
Electric door lock integration. Only authorised operator can activate the door release after visual identification from the video through any PC on the network.
Parking lot security. Enhance employee safety and building security with effective, automatic coverage of parking lots and open areas.
Our software uses a continuous loop system to store security data to hard disk, so the oldest information is replaced by new data. Once set up, the system needs virtually no maintenance, there are no tapes to rotate and manage.

Non-business hours security
One or more security cameras (or other security hardware) continuously monitor the areas being protected. When a possible intrusion is detected, our software records a video report of the incident and can send an alert by pager, or dial-up modem.
Once an alert is received the operator remotely accesses the server and determines the action to take - either ignore the incident if it is a false alarm or escalate. The system is not limited to use internal to buildings, it can protect machinery stored outdoors, new and used vehicle sale yards, lumber yards and the grounds and external areas of buildings.
Enterprise & Corporate Security
Eight to 1000 cameras integrated with the corporate information system. Systems distributed over multiple buildings in multiple locations. This is achieved through hierarchical central station control. The building block architecture lets you deploy large distributed video security systems running on hundreds of networked PCs at multiple locations, and manage the whole system from one or more central station PCs. You get one integrated view of your whole system and quick access to live video and historical security events from any camera.

MIS Security and Access Control
Server rooms, routing cabinets and supply rooms - without access control, these areas expose you and your company to significant risks of capital asset loss, denial of service and information loss.

Designed for controlling access to critical areas and maintaining a video audit trail of all personnel entering or leaving key areas. When you need maximum security, the program can send an alert over the net or by pager whenever it detects a security event.

A cost effective solution the integrates seamlessly with your network infrastructure, so you can provide complete coverage at very low cost.

Parking & Auto Lot Security

.

 

Automobile lots,outside areas of storage facilities and other open areas protections are at risk if conventional security systems are used. Circuit interruption or motion sensors sometimes stop working in these situations.

New and used automobile lots are particularly difficult to protect effectively. The need to remain open and accessible to the car buying public at all hours of the day and night exposes thousands of dollars to potential loss.

All security events are detected using only the video stream. If you can see it, we can detect it. You can even use a telephoto lens to protect areas where there is no power or communications connections

Random House offers a cost effective solution to a wide range of indoor and outdoor security challenges.

Technology Overview
Digital video Security is designed to replace analog tape-based security systems.Computer hardware expense has declined, which now makes easy to move video security systems from analog recorders and sequencers to a digital system.

Remote management capable
You can remotely view live and recorded video and manage your security system by dial-up modem, DSL, ISDN, LAN, WAN or wireless networking. Lets you access your video security system from off-site, virtually eliminating false alarms.



Scalable architecture for enterprise level security
Random House lets you build large distributed video security systems running on multiple networked PCs and manage the whole system from one or more central station PCs. You get one integrated view of your whole system and quick access to live video and recorded security events from any camera. And you can control all connected security devices like pan/tilt/zoom cameras, electric doors, etc. either manually or pre-programmed using Security CAD.

Industry Standard Architecture
Operates on industry standard Windows PCs, LANs and the Internet. You can select from the vast range of high quality, low cost PCI expansion cards available for memory, network interface and storage. The system is built using object oriented data management technology, optimized for the high data rates of networked multimedia (video, sound. etc.). Because the application is designed using UML (Universal Modeling Language), reliability can be designed in from the start, and we can offer leading-edge features.

Advantages
Current technology video security systems use analog video cameras, recording to tapes on a modified VCR. Video is displayed on special purpose monitors and system intelligence is limited to activating the recorder by tripping a light beam or a costly infra-red space sensor.

Significant Advantages.

1. Automatic - you don't need a full time operator to monitor security events. The system can run unattended with very little maintenance, collecting an audit trail of security events that you can browse later.

2. Integrates seamlessly with your existing network infrastructure. You can view video security reports from anywhere there's a network connection. You can use dial up modem, direct cable connection, LAN, ISDN Internet, wireless or microwave link.

3. Self contained (Optional). All security events are detected using only the video stream, so you don't need additional motion sensors or light beams. You can even use a telephoto lens to protect areas without power or a network connection.

4. All digital system - image acquisition is by high reliability digital video camera, and storage and retrieval uses compressed video format.

5.Off the shelf components. Every component is based on PC industry standards, and there are hundreds of manufacturers and suppliers for each, so the system does not require any investment in special purpose hardware. You can manage your security system using the same tools and techniques as the rest of your network and computers.


6. For installations that require security operators, let your operators visually assess threat scenarios from off-site before making an escalation decision. False alarms are major contributors to security costs. Your operators can see what triggered an alert within seconds of detection. You get all the advantages of 24 hour on-site attendance at a fraction of the cost.
