Honeywell Enhances Fusion DVR Range with Launch of Fusion III v3.6
Solution Boosts Operator Efficiency and User Productivity
RUNCORN, UK, 8th April, 2009 – Honeywell (NYSE: HON) today announced the
Fusion III Digital Video Recorder (DVR) v3.6, the latest version of its highly
regarded Fusion III security DVR series. The new addition to the Fusion range
incorporates proven Fusion III hardware alongside new v3.6 firmware, which
features enhancements such as advanced IP camera integration, Smart Motion
search technology and Microsoft Active Directory integration. The solution is
ideal for organisations with extensive security networks such as banks, retail
chains, education, healthcare and municipal environments.
The Fusion III v3.6 integrated camera discovery protocol increases operator
efficiency by enabling the Fusion III unit to discover all Honeywell IP (EQUIP™)
cameras on a network and add them quickly and easily from a single interface,
simplifying a previously time-consuming task. Handling of megapixel images is
also improved through incorporated camera-based “edge” motion detection and
local Video Graphics Array (VGA) handling, which increases the volume of images
processed while reducing Central Processing Unit (CPU) resources used.
The Fusion III v3.6 features Integrated Smart Motion search technology,
offering a new way to view recorded motion levels and identify significant
activity quickly. By referring to a line graph display of peak motion events
recorded over a 24-hour period, operators can effectively “skip” through video
footage and go directly to points in the recording where motion has reached the
desired level of significance.
The inclusion of Microsoft Active Directory integration further boosts
productivity by enabling network administrators to manage Fusion users through
existing Windows domain management tools, while also eliminating the need for
multiple log-ins by simultaneously connecting users to Fusion Video Management
Software (FVMS) and Fusion remote applications upon initial sign-in to the
network.
“As IP security grows across Europe, we are committed to providing the most
advanced products and services,” said Chris Koetsier, Global Video Product
Marketing Director, Honeywell Systems Group. “Version 3.6 of our popular Fusion
III DVR range incorporates new innovative features designed to boost
functionality and ensure the highest levels of security throughout any network
in which Fusion III is integrated.”
The Fusion III v3.6 uses the latest IP technology to bridge the gap between
analogue and digital systems, offering complete integration between the two
formats. Configurable Camera Sabotage Detection (CSD) helps prevent sabotage by
alerting users when a set percentage of the camera’s view is obscured, while
scalable image size and Honeywell HJZTPX keyboard compatibility ensure ease of
use.
