To extend user control, barox Kommunikation AG, has announced seamless integration to the Geutebrück Video Management System (VMS). barox’s capability to integrate its DMS network monitoring tool extends Geutebrück’s Video Security Solution control functionality.
The Geutebrück VMS is characterised by its ease of use and intuitive usability, for the playback of live images and recordings, which can be individually adapted to the requirements of the end-user. Protecting sensitive data from unauthorised access, rights for user groups and locations can be adjusted in the background, according to user requirements. Image and video data are stored in Geutebrück format (GBF), which can also serve as evidence in court. The system can be used stand-alone or expanded by adding several systems.
The barox integration also allows users to directly manage all IP devices on their security network via Geutebrück VMS, allowing cameras to be switched off completely, for security reasons (i.e., in the event of a compromised data line), or turned off and on, to perform a re-boot.
In addition to the released barox plug-in, Geutebrück enables users to leverage the advantages of a barox DMS in its architecture and manage all IP devices in their security network directly through software. This is intended to provide users with all the benefits offered in conjunction with the barox Device Management System.
The barox DMS offers a live graphical overview of network topology, displaying a variety of valuable network information, including Omnicast system diagnostic data that indicates the status of cameras and switches, facilitating the quick localisation of network or device issues. Other advantages include 100Mbit/s – 1000Mbit/s Jumbo Frames, to ensure that camera images are not lost, cable diagnostics, and remote switch traffic monitoring, where live traffic data is displayed on a graphical chart. The ability to view traffic on each port eases the diagnosis of errors and failures remotely.
“We are pleased that the integration for Geutebrück’s VMS and our barox switches is now available,” says Rudolf Rohr, Co-founder and Managing Partner of barox. “This integration allows the ultimate user control of our Ethernet switches directly from Geutebrück VMS.”
