3VR Platform Provides Unique Integration and Storage Benefits to Latest Arecont Vision Offering
San Francisco, CA – June 8, 2009 – 3VR Security, Inc. 3VR, the searchable surveillance leader, today announced support for H.264 megapixel IP cameras from market leading manufacturer, Arecont Vision. As one of a select few platforms supporting the advanced compression technology, 3VR has gone the extra mile to provide improved integration, analytic, and storage capabilities that lead to lower costs and improved performance for customers.
"Our support of H.264 cameras from Arecont Vision shows our dedication to providing customers with meaningful technology integrations on the 3VR platform that drive improvements within our customers’ businesses,” said Tim Frederick, director of engineering at 3VR. "Customers can analyze and store more video with fewer cameras thanks to this tight integration.”
More than just camera compatibility, 3VR’s integration to Arecont Vision’s H.264 megapixel IP cameras provides a simple to use interface allowing customers to segment the field of view of megapixel cameras into multiple virtual camera streams. This gives customers the ability to integrate each virtual camera to data systems such as POS, teller and access control systems, providing accurate and rapid video alerts and search based on nearly any data point. Camera virtualization also provides storage benefits to customers who can retain only the portions of the video data that matter.
In addition, Arecont Vision’s ability to deliver both H.264 and MJPEG allows high quality images for video analytics with the benefit of highly compressed H.264 video for storage.
"We are excited to provide customers a superior experience on the 3VR searchable platform,” said Jason Schimpf, partner relations manager at Arecont Vision. "3VR’s simple to use interface, search and analytic functionality coupled with our high performance H.264 cameras allow customers to take advantage of analytics, lowered camera costs and improved storage capabilities.”

The products are made in the USA and feature patented low-cost massively parallel image processing architectures MegaVideo® and SurroundVideo® that represent a drastic departure from traditional analog and network camera designs.
