Qognify, a provider of technology solutions for physical security and corporate incident management, has launched the Cayuga R15 video management system (VMS)
The new release of Qognify’s VMS for multi-site corporate and enterprise projects focuses on enhanced usability and connectivity, improved maintainability and intelligent analytics.
The company stated that, while developing Cayuga R15, one of the main goals was to help security personnel identify, locate and evaluate an event quickly. This can present a real challenge when operating large systems with widely distributed locations and a large number of cameras.
Cayuga R15 solves this problem by supporting the use of the powerful Esri ArcGIS mapping platform, allowing cameras to be positioned on a map and available globally – depending on access rights. Multiple views or areas of interest within a map source as well as icon clustering depending on the level of the zoom make it easy to keep the map overview at any time.
Another tool added to Cayuga R15 is the new Qognify Mobile Client, which improves the ability to respond to an event. The Mobile Client is the result of the cross-product initiative by Qognify, combining the benefits of technological assets within its portfolio of VMS.
Using a smartphone or tablet, it can connect to Cayuga and Ocularis installations, enabling security personnel to view live streams as well as browse and playback footage recorded remotely in a completely reworked, intuitive design. It is available for iOS and Android devices, and can be downloaded at no additional cost from the App Store or Google Play.
Carsten Eckstein, head of product management for Cayuga at Qognify, said, “The additions and enhancements in Cayuga R15 are in direct response to the feedback from our partners and customers. This is the first release, where Qognify’s new development philosophy, to look beyond one specific product, has been put to practice.”
Cayuga R15 is part of Qognify’s comprehensive video management portfolio that includes VisionHub, Ocularis and NiceVision. It is available now in 15 languages and is Security Industry Regulatory Agency (SIRA) compliant, enabling it to be used in public projects in Dubai and the wider Gulf region.
