Large-Scale Virtual Video Matrix Switch - The Ultimate Video Surveillance Display Platform

NetSwitcher is an IP-based video surveillance control platform, for command center video wall or desktop monitoring. It enables sending any camera view to any local or remote display within the network via an intuitive map-based, touch screen controller interface, as well as automatically displaying and distributed management of alerts received from video content analytics and physical security systems, providing total real-time situational awareness.

NetSwitcher supports an unlimited number of camera inputs, monitor outputs and operator control panels, assuring your ability to scale your surveillance system to meet future needs. Designed especially for touch-screen operation, it allows pushing camera streams to any video wall monitor or remote display within the network, creating custom camera groups on-the-fly. One-touch camera selection from active maps provides access to specific floor plans complete with camera locations and viewing angles. NetSwitcher was designed from the ground up to deliver the most intuitive user-interface, using graphical keypads, touchscreens (optional), multiple dynamic maps and PTZ joysticks - allowing full operation capabilities within minutes of training, thus reducing manpower and operational costs.

Through integration with video content analytics, access control and other physical security systems, alerts and exceptions corresponding to conditional rules for both motion and non-motion behaviors can be automatically pushed to designated video wall monitors across the organization, for immediate action and response. This enables effective monitoring of large camera arrays by fewer operators. In addition, NetSwitcher's event handling feature enables distributed notification, reviewing, commentary and confirmation/acknowledgement of events with an advanced and convenient user interface. Once detected, alerts can be investigated from within NetSwitcher, assisted by digital PTZ into recorded images.

As a 100% end-to-end IP platform, NetSwitcher eliminates the need for multiplexing or any other video wall display hardware, and instead runs on off-the-shelf PCs that drive both the controller and the display monitors. And since NetSwitcher is entirely IP-based, controller and command and control centers - main, parallel or redundant - can reside anywhere on the network and control any video wall or monitor screen, local or remote.
