Cortech Developments is pleased to announce the integration of its Datalog Integrated Security Management Software with the Advanced Analytics Video platform from DAVANTIS, a specialist in video analytics for perimeter security. The seamless integration between Datalog and DAVANTIS provides end users with a means to reduce operator reaction times and increase overall situational awareness. Allowing consistent and timely response to different alarm triggers such as intruders, vehicle entry/exits, tampering and loitering to be managed seamlessly. The integration provides comprehensive information about security alerts in minimal clicks. Operators are provided with both alarm descriptions and visual data; it presents users with access to video from the camera with trace data (and any other associated cameras) that activated the alarm resulting in real-time analysis of the alarm trigger. Datalog provides quick and effective real time monitoring and control of events Local and remote site monitoring Datalog is a modular software suite that operates as a single or multi-user graphical user interface, providing local and remote site monitoring and control of building, fire, security and energy systems. The software provides smarter interoperability for multiple technologies across multiple sites; assisting organisations to reduce risk and costs, while maximising situation awareness and operational efficiency. Datalog provides quick and effective real time monitoring and control of events. System warnings, events and alarms are all clearly identified, prioritised, graphically located and visually verified with automatic CCTV video to enable a more efficient and accountable response.

Datalog MV operates with the latest version of Datalog which provides local and remote site monitoring and control of building, fire, security and energy systems and significantly enhances the ability of operators to manage video surveillance systems which may be part of an integrated security solution. Integration with Wisenet Network Video Recorders (NVRs) means that operators will now be able to view live or recorded images captured by Wisenet cameras on the Datalog graphical user interface. Greater situational awareness When there is an alarm event, images from Wisenet cameras installed in the vicinity of the incident are automatically displayed by Datalog, allowing operators to visually verify what is occurring and have greater situational awareness. Wisenet cameras and domes with PTZ functionality can be directly controlled via Datalog The presentation of live images can also be triggered by any number of user defined real-time ‘cause & effect’ events, whilst Wisenet cameras and domes with PTZ functionality can be directly controlled via Datalog to enable operators to observe close up activity of any activity. “We are excited to welcome Hanwha Techwin into our portfolio of integration partners and we are looking forward to working with them,” said Jason Blundell, Head of Sales & Marketing for Cortech Developments. Integrated software platform “The partnership between Hanwha Techwin and Cortech demonstrates our on-going commitment to offer users flexibility and the widest choice when selecting an integrated software platform.” Uri Guterman, Head of Product & Marketing for Hanwha Techwin Europe added: “Wisenet cameras are increasingly being specified for mission critical and high security infrastructure applications. Datalog has proved to be an ideal solution for these types of projects and we are therefore very pleased to have the opportunity to work with Cortech to ensure our mutual customers achieve maximum benefit from their safety and security systems.”

Cortech Developments is pleased to announce the integration of its Datalog MV with video cameras from Hikvision, global supplier of innovative video surveillance products and solutions. Datalog MV operates with the latest version of Datalog and significantly enhances the control, flexibility and stability of managing a wide range of camera systems. Datalog MV Datalog is a modular software suite that operates as a single or multi user graphical user interface, providing local and remote site monitoring and control of building, fire, security and energy systems. Datalog assists in reducing risk and cost while maximising efficiency, situation awareness and accountability.

Cortech Datalog MV- Hikvision video cameras integration The integration with Hikvision allows Datalog MV to show operators live or recorded video This integration with Hikvision allows Datalog MV to show operators live or recorded video. When an alarm occurs on Datalog any number of cameras can be automatically associated as well as other more complex causes and effects. Events can then be replayed on the Datalog screen to show the pre, post and live event video for instant verification. If PTZ cameras are in use, then these can also be managed and controlled through Datalog.
