3 Technologies that Can Modernize your Existing Infrastructure without a Rip and Replace

With Techspo approaching, now is great time to preview the latest security tech. However, while there are plenty of security options in the market, many require a “rip and replace” approach to your current platform.

That philosophy doesn’t fly at CM3. As systems integrators, we strive to leverage your existing infrastructure and modernize it. That’s why we are always on the lookout for cost-effective, flexible, open-platform security products.

Here’s a look at our top 3 picks for tech that can transform your security system from reactive to proactive (Tip: Visit us at Booth 624-628 for demos!):

Weapons and Intrusion Detection: SparkCognition Visual AI Advisor

Leveraging intelligent computer vision software, SparkCognition Visual AI Advisor helps detect and analyze objects in your video feed in real-time. Rather than looking at camera footage retroactively, SparkCognition transforms those video feeds into a proactive analytics platform that immediately enhances safety, security, and situational awareness across your campus. Basically, it’s like having a set of eyes on all cameras at all times.

SparkCognition Visual AI Advisor deploys quickly to your existing camera network:

  • Pair with any camera system already installed on your site, including CCTV, PTZ, drones, and mobile devices.
  • Deploy securely on-prem and/or sync with your cloud using our low-code/no-code integration framework.
  • Automate visual analytics on multiple real-time video streams at once.
  • Track your alerts on a single user interface for all cameras and use cases.

Seamless Video Management System: Surveill

Bringing all software application services under a single system, Surveill works with existing cameras and servers while optimizing overall performance. The product is built around modern IT principles and utilizes modern containerized architecture to ensure the security of your video data. With an unlimited number of camera channels across multiple sites, Surveill’s unified platform provides a seamless correlation of all videos, sensors, and alarms, thus streamlining operations and enhancing security. It also delivers features that your current VMS may not have:

  • Dynamic visualization capabilities with map layers, device state, search, and more.
  • Greater integration options with an open-platform structure
  • Easier maintenance with auto software updates
  • Flexible deployment with on-premise, hybrid and cloud-agnostic options
  • More cost-effective and streamlined operations with containerization technology

Camera Cloud Transition: Avigilon Alta Cloud Connector

A device-agnostic platform, Cloud Connector provides a seamless migration of your existing cameras to the cloud. Rather than requiring a camera change-out, this product provides a cost-effective cloud migration path, overlaying artificial intelligence and video analytics onto your current cameras.

Cloud Connector delivers lower operational costs and increased flexibility by extending the same real-time anomaly detection, proactive notifications, and smart search capabilities across your entire deployment with one interface.

  • Make existing cameras “smart” with real-time AI
  • Connect existing cameras and sensors and manage your entire deployment from anywhere
  • Get local video access to all video and ensure resiliency to network and service outages
  • Minimize cybersecurity risk with encryption, a hardened Linux kernal, and a dedicated Trust Platform Module

Each of these technologies will be available for demonstration at TECHSPO 2024, and we invite you to stop by to learn more. We are also offering special show-only pricing. (Note: you have to drop your card at the booth to qualify!).
