Video management and security integration

Arteco video systems and equipment

Specify an Arteco installation or expand an existing system with video management, recording equipment, licences and modules. Send a camera list, equipment specification or description of the project.

Products and selection tasks

Start with the intended result: managing video, recording, analytics, number plate reading or linking security events. The following sections identify the project information needed for a useful enquiry.

OMNIA video management

OMNIA brings video and security events into a shared operator interface. For an existing installation, identify the edition and software version before defining an expansion. Separate additional camera connections from changes to the functions operators actually need.

  • Current edition and installed software version
  • Existing cameras and the number to add
  • Required integrations and operator workflows
  • An information-screen image with licence keys removed

uSee web platform

uSee provides browser-based video management. The manufacturer describes on-premise and hybrid deployments with subscription or perpetual licensing. A project enquiry should identify how the system will be used and where its recording infrastructure will sit.

  • One location or multiple connected sites
  • Browser access and network requirements
  • Preferred licensing model for the project
  • User roles and the work each role performs

ARTECO 7000 recording server

ARTECO 7000 is a 19-inch rack surveillance server. The published design accommodates up to 8 HDDs, with camera licences selected separately. Define recording requirements before requesting a configured server or a replacement component.

  • Stream count, image resolution and frame rate
  • Required retention time and recording schedule
  • Server identification and installed controller
  • Separate equipment and software licence lines

LPR number plate reading

LPR Server 2.0 performs number plate reading on a Windows server. Start with the entrance layout and expected operating conditions. Camera placement, lighting and the intended response to a recognised vehicle belong in the same project brief.

  • Number of lanes and travel directions
  • Camera model and day/night image samples
  • Vehicle log or a controlled entrance workflow
  • Registration countries requiring assessment

VCA video analysis

VCA analyses objects and movement in video streams. The manufacturer describes a separate application on a Windows workstation. Define the events that matter to operators before selecting analytics capacity or the supporting computer.

  • People, vehicles or other relevant scene objects
  • Monitored zones in representative camera images
  • Number of streams analysed at the same time
  • The required operator response to an event

ASC security integration

Arteco Security Connector extends OMNIA with external security-system integration, including Modbus devices. Describe the connected panel, its software and the events to exchange. A protocol name alone does not define a complete integration.

  • Manufacturer and model of the connected panel
  • Protocol and version of its interface
  • Events, zones and commands needed by operators
  • OMNIA edition already used in the installation

Channel and function expansion

For a working installation, describe the change rather than treating every item as a new system. List added cameras, extra operator stations and any new site. Keep existing entitlement information separate from the requested additions so the quotation can distinguish expansion from replacement.

  • Existing configuration and intended additions
  • Current entitlement description without secret keys
  • Functions that must remain available
  • The order in which new areas should enter service

Parts for installed systems

A hardware replacement starts with the actual component identifier. A photograph of the server front panel can help establish the family, but a power supply, drive or board requires its own label. Include connector photographs and describe how the installed unit is used.

  • Equipment label and component identification
  • Part number, hardware revision and quantity
  • Connector and mounting-location photographs
  • Individual component or a complete assembly

Storage and archive retention

Archive sizing depends on stream parameters and the recording schedule. Provide the current disk configuration and retention requirements for each camera group. A useful brief distinguishes continuous recording from event recording and identifies any plans to increase the camera count.

  • Camera count and video stream parameters
  • Continuous recording or event-based recording
  • Retention requirements for each camera group
  • Installed drives and available expansion positions

Camera connection assessment

Assess the exact camera model and firmware against the requested workflow. Live viewing, recording, audio, movement control and event handling are different requirements. Record the functions you actually use so an enquiry does not reduce compatibility to the presence of a video picture.

  • Manufacturer, camera model and firmware version
  • Required streams, audio and camera control
  • Events to be transferred to the system
  • Installed VMS version and connection topology

Operator workstations

Specify operator work by task: routine monitoring, archive review and incident handling. Include the number of displays and the views opened at the same time. A workstation request should also describe concurrent use of other applications and any restrictions on the operating environment.

  • Display count and simultaneous camera views
  • Live monitoring or archive review workload
  • Number of users and working shifts
  • Operating-system and network requirements

Planning multiple locations

Use a site table for a distributed project. Record cameras, servers, archive location and available connectivity for every location. Then define what the central control room must receive.

This makes local requirements visible without assuming that all locations have identical network capacity or operating procedures.

  • Location list and camera quantities per site
  • Where recording and viewing take place
  • Links between sites and the control room
  • Operator permissions by location and function

Preparing an upgrade

Document the installed software and hardware before requesting an upgrade. Separate software changes, server replacement and added analytics into their own lines.

Ask the system operator to identify essential daily functions and the information that must remain accessible during the planned transition.

  • Installed version and hardware configuration
  • The operational objective of the upgrade
  • Functions and records that must be retained
  • A work plan agreed with system operations

An actionable purchase specification

Separate hardware, licences, optional modules and services in the purchasing specification. Give each line a description, quantity and intended use. Existing documents can help identify a product, but remove unrelated information before attaching them.

Note whether each line is a replacement, an expansion or part of a new installation.

  • Product name and any existing ordering code
  • Unit quantities or required channel counts
  • The purpose of each line in the installation
  • Relevant PDF, spreadsheet or photo attachments

Checks when receiving a system

Compare delivered items with the agreed specification, including model identifiers, quantities and supporting documents. For software, review the licence description and intended deployment with the person responsible for the installation.

Keep hardware receipt and software entitlement checks as distinct acceptance steps.

  • Models and quantities against the agreed list
  • Product identification and supplied accessories
  • Equipment documents and software information
  • A precise record of any differences found

When the ordering code is unknown

Begin with the desired result and a clear equipment photograph. For software, attach a version-information image with activation keys and unrelated information removed.

Explain whether you need a component replacement, a capacity increase or a new installation, and identify the technical contact who can clarify the configuration.

  • Equipment image or software version details
  • Current installation and the intended change
  • Required quantities and delivery destination
  • A contact for technical clarification

Arteco documents and sources

Information for a system quotation

Provide site and camera counts, stream settings, archive retention and operator tasks. Add a network diagram or equipment table. Separate installed equipment from requested additions and identify planned expansion. For analytics, describe the event and attach a representative image of the monitored zone. Include the delivery destination and a technical contact.

Requesting a component or module

List the designation, quantity and purpose. Hardware requests need component identification and connection photographs; software requests need the installed version and project configuration. If the ordering code is unknown, describe what works now and the result required after the change. Separate a failed component from a planned capacity upgrade.

Send your Arteco specification

Availability, price, lead time, configuration, compatibility and permission to use the software in the destination country are confirmed for each enquiry before order agreement. We do not claim authorised dealer status. Send the technical list and delivery location for assessment.
