Gemini CCTV Cloud-based Monitoring Software

Remote CCTV monitoring is the most effective way to provide remote site protection.  Alarm can be received and verified within seconds, enabling an accurate assessment of activity at the remote site so that an instant and measured response can be provided.   The Gemini, cloud-based CCTV monitoring platform filters out duplicate and false alarms so that only actionable events are delivered to the operator.

Supporting a wide range of commonly used CCTV products and systems – Avigilon, Hikvision, Xtralis, Dahua and many others – Gemini also provides high level integration at the management level with other devices and systems.  In addition to event driven activations, CCTV guard tours and ad hoc connections to multiple sites and a range of systems can be configured.

Automatic and operator workflow processes support remote site management with control of access, lighting and voice communications.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is remote CCTV monitoring?

Remote CCTV monitoring allows a central control room to receive alarm signals and view video from your site to provide a response in real time to protect it from attack.  The area in alarm will be displayed to the operator who can then view other cameras on site and, in certain cases, issue an audible warning to the intruder that they have been detected and may shortly be apprehended if they remain.

What is a CMS?

A CMS is a central monitoring station providing an alarm and CCTV monitoring service to multiple remote sites.  It may offer a commercial service to many different customers, or be ‘inhouse’ control room which only monitors sites within an organisation, for example, a retailer or schools network.

Which software is used for monitoring CCTV?

CCTV systems can either use the software supplied by the CCTV product manufacturer or a ‘platform’ solution like Bold Gemini.  The benefit of the platform software is that it is specifically designed for remote monitoring and can support a wide range of CCTV products compared with the manufacturer’s software which is limited in functionality and can only be used with that manufacturer’s products.

How does CCTV detect a break in or attack on a premises?

A CCTV system may be programmed to detect movement within an area (video motion detection) or using data analytics (IVA – intelligent video analytics) to identify suspicious specific objects and patterns.  Or, the system may just be triggered by a conventional alarm panel which has received an alarm signal.

How are CCTV images transmitted from site to the monitoring control room?

CCTV images and other associated data are sent over an IP connection, using either fixed network wire or mobile data.  There needs to be sufficient bandwidth to support video streaming.

Is CCTV monitoring more effective than alarm monitoring?

CCTV provides a live video image which can be used for verifying what is going on and also identifying suspects.  It can also provide evidence for any subsequent prosecution.  Alarm monitoring costs less to install and monitor, and usually generates fewer false alarms.

GEMINI CCTV PLATFORM PROVES A MAJOR ADVANTAGE

“Gemini allows us to offer a much wider range of CCTV monitoring services to our end user and installer customers, in addition to everything else the software does. Having a single integrated CCTV monitoring software platform is a major advantage for us. Viewing the same screen for all alarms regardless of the transmission method and CCTV product type saves training time and confusion when handling alarms”
