G4Tec’s Symmetry™ Video Management and Symmetry ENVS® Offer Improved Features
Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, May 21, 2007 – Group
4 Technology (G4Tec), a world leading manufacturer of security management systems
for the commercial market, announces the release of its improved Symmetry Video
Management software and Symmetry Edge Network Video Server (ENVS®).
Event-based recording ensures all events are recorded on the video system. Symmetry
Video’s enhanced event recording feature allows users to record video just seconds
before and after an event to provide a more accurate account of events.
Security operators can view every camera on their system using multiple camera views
on the video matrix. Now Symmetry Video offers a second video matrix, allowing operators
to view up to 72 camera images.
Security guards can take advantage of Symmetry Video’s Identity Check improved feature:
- Guards can compare a live ID badge photo with a stored ID photo to see if the person
using the card is the same person stored in the computer. This provides an interactive
tool to ensure the safety of the premises.
- Guards can control doors and provide manual restrictions when necessary to manage
security issues on an individual basis.
- Guards can manually search for a card holder and his transaction log when a person
does not have their card.
The Symmetry Edge Network Video Server (ENVS®) is now packaged in a rack mount option.
The rack mount optimises precious rack space, while providing easy installation
and connectivity to network and video communications.
“Symmetry’s advanced features and easy-to-install rack mount enclosure provides
our customers with an even more progressive video option that is simple to use,”
said G4Tec Managing Director, Keith Whitelock.
G4Tec is one of the leading global security providers, supplying advanced security
management systems, an area in which Texas Instruments Incorporated's (TI) technology
and product performance can add a competitive edge,” said Cyril Clocher, business
development manager for TI’s DSP group in Europe. “We are delighted that G4Tec has
chosen the TMS320DM64x™ DSP based digital media processors for its Symmetry Edge
Network Video Server (ENVS®) and we look forward to our continuing work with G4Tec
to create powerful new products.”
