What’s IVaaS technology?
Hikvision’s IVaaS Technology links previously separated CCTV and intrusion alarm systems together in one platform, sending a 7-second video clip via email or app in the event of an alarm for timely confirmation – 5 seconds of footage pre-alarm, and 2 seconds post-alarm. The technology enables extracting live video streams directly from the alarm control panel, with which cameras are connected.
What’s the Benefits?
Removing the Guessing Game
Traditional intrusion alarm systems don’t have a verification process. Alarms can be triggered by causes other than actual intruders. Responding to these false alarms can place a huge burden on home or business owners. And, due to high false alarm rates, law enforcement officers cannot prioritize timely responses. Through the verification process, Hikvision’s IVaaS Technology removes the guessing game in determining what caused an intrusion.
Providing Video as Evidence
Many alarm verification solutions on the market rely on low-quality static imagery or video feeds to confirm alarms. These, however, provide little detail when it’s needed. Hikvision’s IVaaS Technology provides high-quality video clips as forensic evidence, making it easier to apprehend a suspected intruder and recover losses.
Storing Recorded Video Safely
Intruders tend to damage cameras and detection equipment to disable CCTV and alarm systems, eliminating any available evidence. By installing a discreet alarm control panel, Hikvision’s IVaaS Technology becomes vandal-proof. Even if the intruder damages the intrusion detector, the camera, or the power system, A video clip is played right away and saved safely in the control panel.
