POMONA, Calif., Aug. 31 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- QNAP Security, a world class
manufacturer of PC-less Network Video Recorder (NVR) solutions for the
corporate security/surveillance market, today announced a new version of the
embedded firmware for its popular VioStor line of Network Video Recorders
(NVR). The new firmware, which will be offered free of charge to existing
VioStor users adds important new features to enhance usability and reliability
of VioStor NVRs installed around the world.

The new 3.1.0 firmware offers revolutionary features including Intelligent
Video Analytics (IVA), generic IP camera integration by CGI command, digital
watermarking, SMS alerts, and more! And the most exciting part is all new
features are provided as a free upgrade to existing QNAP standalone NVR
systems and will be pre-installed in all new models to enhance the ownership
experience and maximize the value of VioStor NVRs.


New features of the 3.1.0 firmware include:

Intelligent Video Analytics (IVA). The feature of Intelligent Video
Analytics is designed to improve the quality of surveillance and automate the
detection of critical events. By using QNAP's new Video Analytics, security
personnel can detect evidence of criminal acts much faster and efficiently.
QNAP Video Analytics offers five parameters: motion detection, missing object,
foreign object, camera out of focus and camera obstruction. Compared to other
simple surveillance solutions, the main advantages of QNAP Video Analytics are
extremely effective event detection and more flexible ways to define
monitoring parameters. For instance, the security administrator can apply
multiple parameters of Video Analytics for each camera at the same time for
enhanced security. This maximizes the effectiveness of the surveillance
without requiring additional security monitoring personnel, saving significant
cost. Additionally, with QNAP IVA, searching through a tremendous video
database won't be nightmare any more.

Generic IP camera integration. Today more and more IP cameras from various
new brands appear in the market. With the new 3.1.0firmware, QNAP Security now
provides users with the freedom of choice to integrate new IP cameras by
themselves. As long as users can get the CGI command from camera vendor, the
live view and recording in M-JPEG compression format could be enabled by
simple configuration within the NVR. Distributors and System integrators no
longer need to wait for camera integration from the manufacturer. Users can
integrate any new cameras quickly and easily.

Digital watermarking. In order to increase security level of recorded
video, the new 3.1.0 firmware also adds Digital Watermarking as a data
encryption tool to ensure the original recorded video has not been compromised
or tampered with. Moreover, by using the current VioStor play-back software
interface, users can apply the Digital Watermark simply to the current video
in the database. No need to invest time in learning new software is also
considered as one great advantage when adapting the new firmware feature into
current QNAP NVR system.

In addition, QNAP Network Video Recorder also supports SMS alerts to let
security managers get real time notification about an event in progress. QNAP
SMS function allows users to subscribe using SMS services from local ISP. This
feature definitely can speed up the interaction when critical events occur.

The new 3.1.0 firmware currently supports more than 400 network cameras
from 26 popular brands, including AXIS, ACTi, Arecont Vision, Canon, Cisco,
D-Link, EDIMAX, ELMO, EtroVision, GANZ, iPUX, IQeye, LevelOne, Linksys,
MOBOTIX, Messoa, Nakayo, Panasonic BB/ BL/ i-Pro, SANYO, SONY, TOSHIBA,
TRENDnet, TOA, VIVOTEK, and Y-CAM. MOBOTIX MxPEG compression video is on the
new supporting list now.

QNAP Security offers the widest range of standalone Linux embedded Network
Video Recorders for small, medium, and large facilities. Users can choose
different All-in-one Network Video Recorders starting from 4 channels to up to
40 channels of surveillance. The Linux based embedded operating platform
allows remote monitoring from any PC connected to the network via a Web
interface and is extremely cost effective to operate and environmentally
friendly.
