 MAIN FUNCTIONS


MONITORING CENTER

  • Live View: With the highly customizable live view function, you can view real-time videos in any way you want. Additionally, the layout can be arranged to display different videos in different sizes, so that areas that are more important can be displayed in a more visible way. On special occasions, you can directly operate on devices, such as talking to nearby people through a camera, or unlocking the barrier of a turnstile to let people in. When something important happens, such as a robbery, the manual recording is only one click away to save that particular part of the video as evidence.
     
  • Playback: The playback function allows you to play recorded videos stored on the server and devices in multiple windows. To help you efficiently wade through tons of videos, you can play them 64X faster than the normal speed, skipping parts that you are not interested in, or you can slow them down to 1/64X, to focus on important sections. To control the data in the videos, you can add tags to mark relevant content, and you can even lock them to prevent them from being overwritten when the disk space is full. The filter function can also be very helpful when you only need to deal with a specific type of video, or a type of target that appeared in one or more areas.
     
  • Video Wall: Video wall is used to display videos on a large screen that consists of many smaller screens. Highly customizable, you can not only configure the layout of the video wall, but you can also display recorded videos and real-time videos to zero in on important details in the video. With the task function, you can schedule videos from different channels to be displayed on the video wall at specified times or in a loop.
     
  • KarteThe map is a very useful function that allows you to keep track of devices and events through their location information. With it, you can mark a device and immediately know the location of an event when the device triggers an alarm and flashes red on the map. You can also add submaps to different areas. For example, a plan view of a public square can be added to a map to reveal the exact location of people who are inside the public square.

DeepXplore

Powered by AI technology, you can easily search for targets and records, and generate tracks to locate their
whereabouts with simple search conditions.

Event Management

You can monitor and process over 200 types of alarms right in the event center. In addition to predefined alarm
types that are triggered by devices, DIY alarm types that are manually triggered are available for situations such as
taking a snapshot or sending an email to the administrator when you see something important.

Access Management

  • Access Control: The integrated access control system gives you the ability to manage access through various types of access control devices added to DSS Express, while keeping a complete access record for your later examination.
  • Video Intercom: All video intercom devices can be managed based on different in one single interface. With two-way communication and remote access control, you have the ability to secure access to your premises. Also, residents will be able to call and report emergencies quickly, allowing you to take immediate actions. To make building management easier, messages that a lot of people should know, such as the electricity will be out for a few hours for maintenance purposes, can be sent to their indoor monitors with only a few steps.
  • Visitor: DSS Express offers a complete process to manage visitors, including appointment, registration, access permission authorization, and ending visit with all permissions canceled. A complete, detailed record of all visits is available for your review at any time.

to the most, and when peak numbers occur with people number analytics and heat maps can provide valuable and
actionable insights.

real-time video from the entrance or exit. Complete records with detailed information of vehicles are generated for
