Argentina. The CEO of SoftGuard, Daniel Banda, received in his offices in Buenos Aires Juan Pablo Coletti, Director of Global Strategy for Partners of Dahua Technology, and Franky Su, General Manager, to talk about the latest innovations achieved in product and integrations between both companies.
SoftGuard has been integrating Dahua equipment for several years in order to offer all users the greatest power in terms of technology for the security industry. The Dahua-SoftGuard integration seeks to expand services for security companies, allowing to increase the range of services provided to their customers.
For more than 5 years, users of this system can receive alarm events with video verification; by adding integrations, it seeks to extend the services for security companies, allowing to grow the range of services provided to their customers.
The topics discussed at the meeting were related to the presentation of various Dahua devices approved in the SoftGuard suite, detailing different levels of integration according to the technological tools used. The integrated functions implemented are RTSP Integration, SDK, P2P service and Dahua camera visualization in SmartPanics.
The set of integrations that were carried out are the following:
- Integration via Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP)
- Along with the live camera display, it is added, during the attention of the event, the possibility of listening to the ambient audio of the same. By default, the recorded clip made by the SoftGuard system is shown on the screen as soon as the event reaches the monitoring center. The operator also has the possibility to view the live video.
Integration via SDK
The SDK adds new tools and features that can be used during the event' attention.
• List of all cameras connected to the DVR/NVR.
• Snapshot of cameras that are saved server-side. These captures can also be configured from the system to be automatic. They are recorded and linked to the alarm event in question.
• During the attention of the event, you can easily consult recordings of the different channels to identify the reason that generated the alarm.
• The possibility of moving the camera (if it had this functionality) and two-way audio is added.
P2P cloud service integration
- The integration with Dahua's P2P (Peer to Peer) service significantly simplifies the installation, configuration and commissioning of the equipment in the client.
- In the monitoring center, operators in addition to viewing the live video feed, will be able to:
• Access the full list of channels available on the DVR/NVR
• Movement control of the same (as long as they have integrated this functionality)
• Access to recordings
• Two-way audio.
Viewing Dahua Cameras in SoftGuard's SmartPanics App
Every Dahua camera can be viewed in the SmartPanics security app. The user has the ability to view the live feed, manage views with multiple cameras, and capture snapshots that are recorded locally on each phone.
