| Mistral Announces the Indian Launch of Smartvue S8 Personal and public security is an area of extreme concern these days, both in the international and domestic circuit; and the recent security breaches have emphasized the need for advanced security measures. Technology companies across the world are leveraging the latest advances in wireless communication, image processing and audio/video compression to design products that aid security initiatives in public and private spaces. Mistral has announced the Indian launch of Smartvue S8, a next-generation wireless network video surveillance solution. Based on the latest 802.11n WLAN standard and true peer-to-peer video management, this IP surveillance solution offers long-range wireless capability coupled with high quality video and audio with global remote video management and access. Smartvue has developed award-winning products for over a decade. Its newest product, Smartvue S8, is the world's first mass market 802.11n based video surveillance solution. The solution consists of wireless and wired network video cameras (IP camera), a wireless Network Video Recorder (NVR) and a global peer-to-peer video management service. The camera and NVR were engineered by Mistral for Smartvue and will also be manufactured in India. The S8 network video camera offers a patented and award-winning design that is small enough to fit into the palm of a hand. The wireless NVR supports up to 20 cameras, stores up to 1,000 hours of video and its 1TB storage capacity is of the highest in the industry. The peer-to-peer Smartvue InsightServer can manage thousands of NVRs and cameras from a single website login, display up to one hundred cameras from its main interface, and globally stream live and recorded video and audio to almost any internet enabled device (Windows and Apple PCs, iPhones, Gphones and other Smart phones). Traditional analog video surveillance solutions involve a significant amount of effort for wired installation and comparatively provide limited remote access capabilities. The latest digital (network video) surveillance products in the market demand considerable IT expertise and cost to install as well as maintain. In stark contrast, the new Smartvue S8 solution offers patented self configuring wireless installation, low-cost maintenance, and supports global peer-to-peer access of live and recorded video with two-way audio and instant alerts to users anywhere in the world from almost any PC or cell phone. Mistral has signed an exclusive distribution agreement with Smartvue to make the product available in the Indian market. The solution will be available worldwide and in India in the first quarter of CY 2009. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Computing News :: home page |
