10 Things You Should Know: About Vigil
[Download PDF version of this page]
1 - Supports New Video Formats
Records the new Super HD, High-Def, Megapixel, 180-Panoramic, 360-Panoramic as well as standard NTSC and PAL video formats for stunning video with a clarity that far exceeds standard surveillance video.
2 - Uses Aztech Technology
Aztech is a special video codec developed by 3xLogic to specifically meet the needs of digital surveillance video. You can only get the Aztech codec at 3xLogic.
Megapixel IP cameras produce excellent detailed images, but the size of the video files produced are 10 to 100 times the size of standard security video files.
The Aztech codec is designed to recompress these huge files down to the size of standard security video and yet maintain the detail, resolution and quality of the megapixel camera.
This makes megapixel a reality today without a significant investment in storage and makes 3xLOGIC’s Vigil solution the most cost-effective megapixel solution on the market today.
3 - Flexible Hybrid Recorder
Hybrid video systems are the most flexible recorders available. They provide both analog and IP video inputs in the same unit allowing you to keep your existing cameras while allowing you to add IP cameras whenever it makes sense.
Hybrid recorders from 3xLOGIC allow you to add IP or megapixel cameras in key areas, yet still be able to purchase low cost analog cameras for less demanding locations, or keep your existing cameras.
Hybrid gives users the flexibility to expand and grow over time without getting an outdated system the day of purchase.
4 - Integrates With Your Business
Connects to all your systems such as Point of Sale, Scales, Doors, Refrigeration and anything else to give you a complete picture of events in real-time and after-the-fact.
5 - Tells You What’s Going On
Exception reporting modules from 3xLOGIC will notify you about things of interest to you. Certainly you can be notified of certain transactions at the Point-Of-Sale (POS) such as overrings or voids, but even more exciting is the ability to have maintenance notified if a freezer goes down, or let the manager know that the lines are too long.
6 - Centralized Management
With Vigil Central Management (VCM) you can manage one, a hundred or thousands of units from a single location with ease. Such as:
Software Updates – Schedule mass software updates easily and effectively. Set a rolling schedule to manage bandwidth or to fit the update in during off hours.
Health Monitoring – Instantly monitor all of your sites and get notification of a potential problem before the system goes down.
User Access Control – Easily change the access rights of one or more users across hundreds of sites instantly. Have a regional manager that changed regions? No longer do you have to log in system-by-system. A single click will do it.
7 - Built In Video Analytics
Brand new video analytics have exciting possibilities. Purchasing from other vendors can be expensive and risky. Vigil has many of the most common analytic routines built right in for no additional cost.
8 - Add-A-Camera Expansion Ease
Can’t decide if you should buy an 8, 16, or 32 camera system? Worried about future expansion? With Add-A-Camera from 3xLOGIC you can buy an eight camera system now, and purchase additional inputs as you need them.
Need to add storage to support your additional cameras? Vigil makes it easy by providing a variety of cost effective ways to expand the storage of your DVR. With rapidly dropping storage costs, it makes sense to purchase on demand.
