The new addition to the Fusion range incorporates proven Fusion III hardware alongside new Version 3.6 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 such as banks, retail chains, education, healthcare and municipal environments where there is an extensive security network in place.
The Fusion III Version 3.6 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.
Integrated Smart Motion technology
The Fusion III Version 3.6 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.
Ensuring the highest levels of security
“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 at the 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 Version 3.6 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.
