TimeSight Systems™ Announces Next-Generation Platform for Intelligent Network Video Recorders with Video Lifecycle Management

Enabled by Intel® Xeon® processor 5500 series microarchitecture, new TimeSight appliances feature significantly increased performance and support for hundreds of high-resolution cameras

ASIS INTERNATIONAL, ANAHEIM, Calif., September 21, 2009 - TimeSight Systems™, the industry leader in the practice of video lifecycle management (VLM), today announced its next-generation appliance platform for its intelligent surveillance Network Video Recorders (NVRs). Enabled by an Intel® Xeon® processor 5500 series microarchitecture, TimeSight’s new platform has an average increased throughput of fifty percent as compared to the previous generation, and is capable of supporting hundreds of high-resolution VGA cameras on a single appliance. TimeSight’s NVRs with the company’s award-winning automated VLM capability are specifically designed to address the need for higher video image resolution and longer retention times while controlling a company's surveillance storage investment.

“Our new platform features high performance with very low power consumption, making it the ideal ‘green’ solution,” said Charles Foley, chairman and CEO, TimeSight Systems. “A single appliance running the TimeSight System software can run over 200 high resolution cameras with one year of retention – all in a 1U footprint. Customers can shrink their surveillance acquisition, storage and operating costs while experiencing higher video image resolution and longer retention times.”

TimeSight offers the only intelligent network video recorder (NVR) software with automated VLM capability. VLM is the practice of reducing the size of stored video over time, according to business rules, as the video ages and becomes less relevant. The result is massive storage savings and reduced operational costs. TimeSight’s use of VLM along with its exclusive Motion Optimized Recording (MORe), makes higher resolution analog and IP solutions even more effective and affordable. Motion Optimized Recording (MORe) applies specific resolution, frame rate, and retention policies to motion and non-motion video, enabling users to store all video footage on less storage than riskier “Record On Motion” only techniques.

“The best description of what is happening in video surveillance is ‘Cameras Everywhere’,” said Tony Castorino, director of Physical Security at Technicolor. “The ability to control a large number of either analog or digital cameras from a single appliance that also allows us to store months of quality video on only days of storage allows us to reduce both risk and costs.”

To allow legacy surveillance networks the ability to integrate with current technology system designs, TimeSight’s Analog Camera Environment (ACe) feature brings plug-n-play capability for existing analog cameras into an NVR, with better image quality and longer retention than currently possible on most DVRs, in a small, economical footprint. This intelligent encoding feature converts video streams from legacy analog cameras into fully digitized network video streams leveraging surveillance-optimized H.264 digital video format. ACe technology allows users with a significant investment in analog CCTV systems to migrate into a fully functional IP based video network and benefit from the practice of VLM.

TimeSight Systems Video Surveillance Appliances are being demonstrated in the Anaheim, California Convention Center at ASIS International, September 21-24 in booth #1650. TimeSight has been honored with an ASIS Accolade for its “Unique Approach to Security” and also won the Security Industry Association’s prestigious New Product Showcase “Best Video Device” award at ISC West 2009 in Las Vegas.
