The View Station presents a fully featured operator interface to a network of video cameras. Operators are provided camera access and control regardless of location or size of the video network. The View Station features and tools present an open platform with limitless possibilities for integration of legacy or emerging third party software and hardware technologies. View Station provides a scalable architecture providing robust performance for systems of any size.

View Options
The format and content of a View Station display is fully configurable. Multiple views can be defined and subsequently displayed based on system conditions or user requirements. Since views may be directed to specific connected monitors, View Station may be used to build control room video walls. In addition to live and stored video, a view may include any mix of the available screen elements and functions.
Available Screen Elements | Multi-Monitor Views |

Kiosk/Touchscreen Operator Consoles | Event Response Views |

Camera Management
The View Station puts no limitations on how you manage your camera network. Include cameras from multiple manufacturers. Combine M-JPEG, and H.264.
Regardless of the size of your video network, you decide which cameras to manage with a given View Station. Group cameras any way appropriate – by function, by type, by location, etc.
Group cameras for viewing in any way that suits the application! | |

The View Station can be the “Swiss Army Knife” of your surveillance system. It includes several tools and mechanisms to integrate our video system with other system components. Since our system is IP-based, we can monitor or control not only cameras, but any device or software component connected to the video network. If you have a device currently installed that is not network-capable, our engineers can devise a strategy to accomplish this.

Event Automation
View Station’s Alarm Server is our alarm system integration tool. It can listen for multiple alarm message types from a variety of devices including cameras. As the diagram illustrates below, users have the flexibility to choose any number of standard and custom responses.
Alarm Message Types:

The View Station software provides the ability for the user to create one or more button panels within a view. Standard buttons or any graphic can be dynamically positioned on a background image of your choice. The panels could include buttons to:

As a client of the Relay Server, the View Station can be configured to take advantage of its integrated text messaging facilities. Operators can send and receive messages from any video system client. The system can also be configured to include hand-held devices as clients. By implementing this feature, your operators can now instantly communicate with other users, support personnel, security personnel, first responders, management, etc.
