VideoIQ Announces Availability of iCVR SDK Version 3.0

BEDFORD, Mass., Dec. 21, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- VideoIQ, the leader in video surveillance innovation, today announced the availability of version 3.0 of its Software Development Kit (SDK) for the VideoIQ family of iCVR cameras and encoders. VideoIQ's latest SDK provides technology partners with the ability to integrate their solutions with VideoIQ's entire iCVR platform, including the latest iCVR-HD high definition cameras, to deliver the highest level of intelligent, proactive surveillance.

The VideoIQ iCVR line of cameras and encoders deliver real-time threat detection while eliminating the need for external third party Network Video Recorders (NVR), Digital Video Recorders (DVR), and Video Management System (VMS) platforms, dramatically simplifying system complexity and costs while reducing bandwidth consumption by over 90%. And with 100% self-calibrating adaptive analytics, customers achieve the greatest accuracy and lowest false alarm rate in the industry while eliminating the need to manually calibrate the system over the lifetime of the device – further reducing system costs and complexity.  VideoIQ's open, published SDK allows technology partners to integrate VideoIQ's award winning adaptive analytics and leading storage solution into their own surveillance platforms.

"Version 3.0 of VideoIQ's SDK gives our partners access to the only camera with full megapixel analytics for dramatically greater range and accuracy and up to half a terabyte of onboard storage for reduced system complexity," said Mark Gally, vice president marketing of VideoIQ. "As a result, our partners are now able to further extend their solutions to include even greater proactive protection and deployment flexibility than ever before."

This latest release of the iCVR SDK expands upon previous releases and now includes:

• Support for iCVR-HD High Definition cameras - iCVR-HD cameras are revolutionary devices that deliver full 1080p resolution and frame rate, zero bandwidth recording and full megapixel analytics.  With up to half a terabyte of intelligent, onboard NVR storage within each camera, iCVR-HD high definition cameras eliminate the need for expensive storage and separate high capacity networks – reducing deployment costs, system complexity, infrastructure, time and resources.  And with full megapixel analytics, iCVR-HD cameras deliver over 2 times the range and 3 times the field of view of any D1 analytic solution.

• Event notification history – Third party applications can now automatically pull event history information for all activity whether or not the event occurred while the camera was connected to the application or not, providing access to a comprehensive record of event information at all times.

• Support for event history notification and example applications – VideoIQ now provides sample code for event notification, allowing even more rapid customization of real-time notification within 3rd party applications.
