Lenel OnGuard 2008 Plus includes more than 50 new features, including:
- A new customer feedback button in the OnGuard software console that enables users to submit comments directly to Lenel through a web interface.
- The addition of a Device Discovery Tool which automatically recognizes, configures and addresses a wide range of IP cameras across subnets, simplifying installation and configuration.
- A new browser-based host module for the OnGuard Visitor application that offers simplified deployment and a customisable user interface.
- Expanded integrated intrusion detection, including alarm history and visible and audible indication of entry and exit delays at any supported LCD keypad device.
- Integrated support for HID Edge devices, providing a simplified access control hardware architecture and a lower cost per door in materials and labour. Edge devices are ideal for extending OnGuard installations to interior spaces and controlled areas.
- A new Lenel-branded camera, the LC-330DX, a full-colour, day-night camera that features superior video quality, wide dynamic range (WDR), progressive scan, Power-over-Ethernet, MPEG-4 and 2-way audio support.
- Support for the Real-Time Transport Protocol over Real-Time Streaming Protocol (RTP/RTSP), an open standard for efficiently delivering video and audio data in real time over IP networks.
- Support for H.264-compatible cameras. H.264 is a video compression standard that produces video quality superior to MPEG-4, and less data. This reduces bandwidth and storage costs, and increases the capacity of Lenel LNVR and LDVR video recorders.
