Public Sector

Keep a Steady Watch

Organizations and agencies in the public sector face increasing demands for effective physical security. The mission, whether at local, state or Federal levels, is to secure critical infrastructure including public buildings, correctional facilities, and other strategic assets. When every second counts, details must be quickly and clearly recalled, analyzed and communicated.

  • Nationwide on-site service with 2 or 4 hour response
  • High quality video data for clear identification
  • Effcient Mpeg-4 H.264 compression
  • 64-bit components for stability and performance
  • Password-protected access and 128-bit data encryption
  • Easy to learn and operate enterprise management software

DataCom Systems designs server-based security networks that provide high quality security data for display, management, and archiving. All features can be congured individually for each camera, by group or universally for the entire system.

With superior network performance and high quality video, end-users can easily centralize and consolidate all security resources to client systems or Network Operation Center facilities.

Efficient and Flexible Design

DataCom’s Network Video Servers (NVS) form the central component of advanced security networks. Each NVS records and displays up to 64 cameras of high-quality, real-time video. With an easy to operate interface, end-users can access and manage an unlimited number of servers and cameras through local, remote or web access.

DataCom’s security networks leverage existing analog sources and network components such as switches, Ethernet wiring, and storage devices. The flexibility of the Datacom solution allows clients to combine network infrastructure components and service to improve operating effciencies and increase budgetary savings. With 24/7 onsite service available personnel have more freedom to focus on mission-critical operations.

The DataCom team also understands grant requirements and has flexible funding strategies for government agencies and organizations.

Public Requirement Competition DataCom Systems
Resource Consolidation Large proprietary footprint reduces flexibility as a network system Small footprint and low network requirements enable system and staff consolidation
Response Slow network performance and PC architecture curtails response to realtime alerts Network servers enable maximum performance for easy access and response
Economy Proprietary components and lack of service increase short and long-term costs Proven, stable server-based components have lower initial and ongoing costs
Dynamic Display Lack of flexibility reduces ability to display cameras from systems dynamically Multicasting provides flexible display options for Network Operation Centers
Service Industry standard one-week turnaround on parts 2 or 4 hour on-site service available nationwide
Quality Proprietary 32-bit, workstation hardware is expensive and failure prone All components are 64-bit server-class from a proven IT hardware provider
Return on Investment Proprietary solutions and huge footprint require larger initial and ongoing investment 64-bit server architecture, high density, and shared resources increase ROI

Technology Questions

How does 64-bit architecture improve stability and performance?

Sixty-four bit architecture allows all components to exchange more bits in every data transaction between devices. Public sector systems produce very large video data files and 64-bit architecture allows maximum quality and performance across all channels. Today’s 32-bit DVRs reach a point of diminishing returns limiting the number of cameras per system. Also, because 64-bit systems run more effciently, they are extremely stable and reliable providing a demonstrated return on investment. DataCom’s IBM server-based architecture allows you to accept no compromise.

How does hardware compression improve stability and performance?

The 32-bit DVRs in operation today process video as a software function in the central processing unit (CPU). Software-based compression seriously stresses the CPU with more than 90 percent CPU utilization. The DataCom system performs compression as a hardware function on the DataCom video capture board. This significantly decreases system CPU utilization to less than 20 percent for increased stability and effciency. DataCom then uses the headroom to provide advanced analytics and real-time alerts.

How does the DataCom solution improve video analysis applications?

DataCom starts with 64-bit technology that drastically improves stability and performance for high-quality image analysis. Hardware compression allows DataCom to dedicate CPU resources to live video analysis across all channels. Mpeg-4 H.264 reduces file sizes by only recording the data that changes between each frame. This produces a layering effect that improves the performance of analytical algorithms designed for pre-programmed alerts and response. The core platform provides a suite of integrated analytics that can be easily upgraded with available modules.
