We design custom 'page sets' for your computer network

We can design a custom 'page set' for your application by liaison with you, and build into the page set images from your site to meet your own needs.

Intranet browser viewing of video

For many video systems we design, pure browser-based viewing right across a company's LAN is asked for. Our 'Alpha' system pages are a family of HTML pages offering multi-picture and single-picture pages, camera steering controls and selectors, but can also include maps, floor plans, site plans, or even aerial photographs, to realise a very easy-to-use viewing system.

Intranet browser

Click-icons within the site maps or aerial images can be used to take you directly to a camera view page or pop-up, so that even those unfamiliar with the system can be using it in minutes.

The IPTX Viewing Interface

VMS020 & VMS120 View / Record / Playback tools

These entry-level tools allow you to view pictures and record video from all of our IP cameras on a standard PC. If you are using our IP200 Dome, you can remotely steer and zoom the camera over the LAN - or even through the internet from a hundred miles away.

VMS020 supports the Sirrus range of H263 cameras, like IP100 and IP200, and VMS120 is the equivalent tool for use specifically with Axis cameras and servers.

IPVR Integral Webserver

IPTX-500 Network Video Adaptor

IPVR - IP Digital Video Recorders

The IPVR-100 series are the world's first digital video recorders expressly designed for IP Cameras. IPVR is a fully "turnkey" video recorder, an entirely self-contained unit which records video to either an integral hard disc OR to external network-attached file storage devices such as NAS.

IPVR offers a scalable range of viewing options. IPVR has an integral webserver offering intranet viewing of cameras using no more than a browser, and the recorded archive can be viewed using either a supplied Java applet (requiring NO installation of code on viewing PCs) or using an installable viewer application.

IPVR can record and view PAL cameras by linking them to a Sirrus IPTX Network Video adaptor, or a range of video codec types. Contact Sirrus Technical for more information.

IPTX - Network Video Adaptors for Conventional CCTV Systems

The IPTX-500 series are Network Video Adaptors designed specifically to make connecting a "legacy" PAL CCTV system to a LAN simple.

IPTX has two separate video codecs, plus an analogue input switch. The unit is connected using "loop through" video connections to the PAL inputs of any standard CCTV system, and the codec pair deliver a bandwidth-conservative view to any PC across the LAN. The viewer application which connects to IPTX offers a 'mosaic' view of up to 16 camera pictures as an overview, and clicking on any of these brings a live video stream (in as little as 200Kbits/sec of bandwidth) to the large image port in the top right of the viewing tool (see GUI photo).

Cameras linked to an IPTX can be digitally recorded and archived using the companion IPVR product (see above) - a single viewing tool can then offer both archive playback and live viewing, from anywhere on the LAN or WAN.

Since it is designed to work with restricted bandwidths, IPTX is ideal as a Remote Vision tool - it can give remote access to a CCTV system from hundreds of miles away using a PSTN, ISDN, or ADSL connection. Contact Sirrus Technical for more information.

TRUE VIRTUAL VIDEO MATRIX MS2000

VMS2000 is a true Virtual Video Matrix which offers viewing, recording, switching and control for the largest CCTV systems - from 50 to 6000 cameras. Both standard PAL and IP cameras can be accomodated, and the analogue video switching matrix normally required in a large CCTV system, is replaced entirely by packet-switching in the the IP network.

The remarkable large-screen VMS2000 GUI allows an operator to keep an overview of up to 100 camera views at a time on-screen as cameos, and choose to see any two (or more) of these as larger live images. The 100-image cameo group can be instantly selected from up to 60 such pages.
