GeoVision GV-Control Center
Introduction
The GV-Control Center software is an integrated security management system that provides a handy tool to maintain central monitoring station operation. GV-Control Center introduces a comprehensive solution that provides center operators with time efficiency to control networked GV-Systems and I/O devices. With GV-Control Center, multiple GV-Systems and I/O devices within a DVR server farm can be managed and maintained efficiently to enhance their monitoring performance and ensure smooth operation.
Main Features
  • Remote DVR Configuration: Full control of local DVR settings
    The Remote DVR facilitates the administrator to remotely configure local GV-System's specific settings from one single workstation. When the Remote DVR is on the run, the local GV-System loses its full control of the DVR operations and the Control Center takes full control of the configuration.
  • Digital Matrix View: Remotely monitor, record and playback from 384 cameras
    The Matrix View is a single display where videos from a group of maximum 96 cameras will be displayed, e.g. groups of office area cameras, exit cameras, or street cameras. The GV-Control Center supports up to 4 Matrix View displays with 384 cameras on four monitors at a time. Depending on various surveillance needs, the center operator can open 4 Matrix View displays simultaneously to view more videos from different DVRs. Each Matrix View supports live monitoring, recording and video playback.
  • Remote ViewLog: Playback of recorded videos from local GV-Systems
    The Remote ViewLog function enables playback of all video archives from different GV-Systems. The security administrator can utilize this Remote ViewLog to save video clips for future event retrieval or for video evidence.
  • I/O Central Panel: Group, manage and remotely configure I/O devices
    The Control Center provides a useful I/O Central Panel for the security administrator to remotely manage all I/O devices connected with GV-Systems. Administrators can group function-related I/O devices together for ease of control, e.g. groups of IR sensors, alarms, or fire exits. In case of building fire, for example, the Control Center can trigger all alarms on the networked GV-Systems and force opening all the fire exits or water spray systems at the same time.
  • IP Matrix: TV Wall control
    The Control Center provides a virtual monitor option, the IP Matrix, for TV Wall control capable of providing up to 36 Matrix views and 3,840 cameras over the network.
