Totally integrated. Easy to use. Evidence at your fingertips.
SMS4™, IndigoVision’s Security Management Solution, puts you in the driving seat of your security system. Providing the
benefits of an end-to-end solution with the option to incorporate third party systems it delivers a fully integrated and easy to
manage security solution.
Control Center
An integrated front end user interface to video, access
control and alarms. Incredibly easy to install. Intuitive to
operate. Supplied with an unrestricted viewing license so
you can install as many seats as you like.
NVR
Network Video Recorder (NVR) software manages
recording of video and audio, with redundancy and
failover for high system resilience. Fully autonomous, in
keeping with our distributed architecture.
Alarm Server
The Alarm Server software aggregates event data
from intruder alarms and access control so you can
query evidence and automate incident response.
Fully autonomous for system resilience as part of our
distributed architecture.
Camera Gateway™
Camera Gateway™ enables cameras from a range
of manufacturers to be connected to an IndigoVision
SMS4™ system, using native protocols. View video
from any camera in Control Center and record to an
IndigoVision NVR. A truly open solution.
Mobile Center™
‘Mobile Center™’ provides an extension to your security
system. Use a mobile device to monitor and manage
events while on the move or at the scene of an incident.
Access live information and control PTZs without the
need to be in constant contact with the control room.

Virtual matrix
Control Center allows operators to easily use icons
representing cameras, sequences and salvos to display
video on PC or analogue monitors. View a variety of
standard definition and HD video formats seamlessly
in the same place. The functionality is supported using
both PC and Surveillance keyboards, with up to 100
camera views across 4 monitors.
Simple management of maps
Maps are a key part of assessing a situation and getting
to video quickly. Manage both video and alarms from the
map.
Flexible privacy zones
Mask video source from operators by configuring hidden
zones or, with higher access permissions, reveal masked
areas on live or recorded footage at the touch of a button.
Audio
Listen to audio from one camera or monitor multiple
cameras at once. Have ‘ears’ all over a site. Speak to one
camera, or broadcast audio to camera groups. Optional
full or half duplex audio for clearer communication.

A rich and powerful experience for incident review
Review 25 cameras with synchronised playback
Playback video and audio from up to 25 cameras at once
in a single window. View events from multiple angles and
ensure synchronisation for effective analysis. Listen to
audio streams from all cameras, or selected cameras only.
Rapid automated incident search
Use analytics to search for video or audio incidents in
recorded footage. A powerful way to do the most time
consuming task in video surveillance. Enable operators
to focus attention on critical real incidents by filtering out
non critical video.

7. SMS4™
Events from any source
Events from a wide range of sources such as alarm
sensors, equipment faults, video analytics and third party
systems, all consolidated and managed at the point
where the video is viewed. An IndigoVision system can
manage thousands of event inputs from multiple sites.
Video verification reduces false alarm rates and provides
compelling evidence.
Event handling
Group events in to zones based on type or location. Use
logic to qualify data and filter false alerts. Configure alarms
by zone and distribute responsibility for handling to the
appropriate personnel. Prioritise and escalate alarms to
ensure a timely response.
Flexible scheduling
Schedule the times when events will trigger alarms and
when they won’t. Flexible time schedules enable you to
customise exactly when and how you want the system to
be ‘armed’. Set and unset zones for those times that are an
exception, thus reducing unwanted alarms.
Simple and powerful automated actions
Automate response to events and alarms. Move cameras
to preset positions without operator intervention for faster
response; send e-mails to communicate the situation
to everyone that needs to know; drive relay outputs to
automate actions such as switching on lights; broadcasting
audio messages to PA systems.

Evidence handling
Export footage from multiple cameras at the click of a button. Recordings
are digitally watermarked to guarantee tamper-proof evidence. Play
exported data in IndigoVision’s Incident Player or standard media players
such as Quicktime.
View hours of footage in seconds
Display thumbnail images taken from the footage in the current timeline.
A huge timesaver, events can be found in seconds instead of hours!
Thumbnail images can be based on time, analytics, alarms, bookmarks,
motion or audio. Dynamically change thumbnails as video timeline is
scrolled or zoomed. Once an event is identified simply start playback
from that point.
Redundancy and automatic failover
Easily set up failover NVRs to provide system redundancy. Design for
your required level of redundancy with mirroring or failover configurations.
Failover NVRs will take over in the event of a failure without the need
for a central server to manage. Flexible, powerful and cost-effective
redundancy management.
Exceptionally efficient storage
IndigoVision’s unique Activity Controlled Framerate (ACF) drastically
reduces bandwidth and storage during scene inactivity. Cameras
constantly monitor the scene and when there is no motion the frame rate
is reduced. On detecting motion the framerate jumps instantaneously
back to real time video, ensuring no loss of evidence. Perfect for low
activity cameras such as stairwells, parking lots, etc.

Advanced Analytics
Advanced Analytics are the natural, progressive choice for any serious,
efficient security management system. They bring significant benefits
in both live-monitored and incident review operations, work 24 hours a
day, 365 days a year and don’t get tired or lose concentration. Their use
allows improved operational performance and an increased workload to
be accommodated in a monitoring and control establishment without an
increase in staff headcount.
IndigoVision’s analytics algorithms include:
• Virtual Tripwires
• Motion Detection
• Theft Detection
• Hooded Camera Detection
• Abandoned Object Detection
• Congestion Detection
• Counter Flow
IndigoVision’s analytics algorithms run at the edge of the network, for
maximum efficiency and scalability. High performance cameras and
transmitters allow for multiple analytics filters to be run on the same
camera.
