Enterprise Surveillance Manager

Enterprise Surveillance Manager (ESM) is an enterprise class video surveillance management and recording application designed to operate with commercial off-the-shelf IP cameras, servers, switches and storage. Through an HTML interface both users and administrators can access the system from any network computer through a secure SSL encrypted log-in.
Based on a SQL database engine, ESM has the ability to seamlessly support unlimited cameras, locations, and users across a distributed infrastructure while offering hardware independence and centralized management. As an HTML based application ESM removes the need to install or license client software to access live or recorded video across the enterprise.
The advanced map navigation, thumbnail search, synchronized multi-camera playback, and alarm monitoring interface provides the most advanced unified video management software platform available in the industry today.

There is no need to load client software, which often requires administrator rights, to access live video. ESM offers simple and secure access to live cameras

through an intuitive web browser interface. A map based navigation screen provides a multi-tiered location of live camera viewing. Support for either JPG based maps or Google maps* offers customers the option of highly customized maps or high resolution dynamic maps.
The matrix screen provides a live view of up to 30 cameras from any combination of locations. The matrix also offers multi-monitor support of up to four monitors across a single Windows desktop displaying up to 120 cameras simultaneously.
Advanced live view features include motion based camera rotation in the matrix view which only shows cameras with motion activity. Additionally, users can share their unique custom camera layouts which allows other system users to access cameras simultaneously.

ESM offers the most advanced IP video surveillance recording in the industry which includes encrypted hashing, continuous recording grooming, and low per-camera CPU resource consumption.
ESM's cryptographic hash can be used to authenticate, in addition to, protect video recordings from post-recording manipulation when using MPEG4 or H.264 video compressions.  ESM

hashing utilizes a 512 bit set of cryptographic hash functions designed by the National Security Agency (NSA) and published by the NIST as a U.S. Federal InformationProcessing Standard.
When the recording engine is scheduled for continuous recording administrators can set the system to delete video at a later date that does not exhibit motion. This feature ensures that the recording retention periods are optimized.
ESM's recording engine runs as a service and will automatically restart if the server is rebooted.

A single interface is provided to manage cameras, locations, schedules and users removing the need to access servers individually to make changes. System administrators login using either their Active Directory or local ESM accounts.
Camera setup is made simple with features like camera Auto Discovery and camera Defaults. Additionally, schedules provide administrators with the ability to set either motion or continuous based recording routines. System reports are included in the admin portal and provides administrators with on-demand or scheduled based reporting. Fully customizable, these reports allow filtering of data such as cameras, servers, storage, and general system status.
