IPConfigure Announces Orchid Core VMS for ACAP

IPConfigure, a leading video surveillance research and development software company, introduces Orchid Core VMS which leverages Axis Communications' for AXIS Camera Application Platform (ACAP), an open application platform that enables members of Axis' Application Development Partner Program to develop applications that can be downloaded and installed on Axis network cameras and video encoder equipped with an ARTPEC-6 processor.

Orchid Core VMS is used by customers ranging from small business owners to some of the world's largest global retailers. Recognized for its reliability and ease of use, Orchid Core VMS provides local and remote access to live & recorded video through an intuitive Web browser interface, with the same user experience on both workstations and mobile devices. In addition, each Axis Communications network cameras and video encoder equipped with an ARTPEC-6 processor can now host Orchid Core VMS' recording engine, database, video storage, and an encrypted Web browser interface for live viewing, search, and video playback functions. While Orchid Core VMS runs as a self-contained application on Axis cameras, it also supports federating with Orchid Fusion and Orchid Fusion Cloud for enterprise deployments with unlimited cameras, users, and locations via a unified user interface.

WHY IS ORCHID CORE VMS FOR ACAP AN IMPORTANT RELEASE?

This scalable offering fills the increasing need for secured and cost-effective solutions that are not only easy to deploy, use, and update but also completely independent and portable. Ideal for small systems, unreliable networks, and remote locations, Orchid Core VMS stores video on a microSD card directly on an Axis camera, eliminating the need for a server. Integrators will find that this unique solution provides a great option for some of their budget-conscious customers with requirements for autonomous and/or redundant VMS, and is particularly attractive to customers with limited in-house IT knowledge or technical support.

"We're excited about the release of Orchid Core VMS. Together with IPConfigure, we can now offer an entirely camera-based solution that fits a number of different applications," said Alex Walthers, Business Development Manager, Application Development Partner Program, Axis Communications, Inc. "The use of ACAP in this way is unique in that it addresses small systems, but can also scale to enterprise-level systems if needed."
