“This new module merges video surveillance and access control – two related but distinct technologies – into a fully integrated, open architecture system,†said Sergio Collazo, national sales and marketing manager for Toshiba Surveillance & IP Video Products Group. “As a result, customers who install Toshiba DVRs and Hartmann controllers that feature the new module will have an instant network between the two for greater security of people, property and profits.â€
The new module stores video data within the access control system that can be viewed live or later be recalled, searched and displayed. Event-activated stored video data, such as motion detection or contact closure, can also be logged into the access control database.
