Dallmeier further extends its Hemisphere® Enterprise VMS user operability with new barox integration

Underlining the deep technical partnership between barox and Dallmeier, Dallmeier has developed a barox switch-monitoring for its Hemisphere® Enterprise VMS open software platform.

With the idea being initiated by Dallmeier’s CEO, Thomas Dallmeier, the new development enables the barox range of industrial PoE video switches and media converter products to be integrated and displayed on Hemisphere®’s Event and Alarm Inbox, or for smaller applications, in the SeMSy® Event Manager. A direct access via web browser within Hemisphere to the barox DMS is also available.

 

The Hemisphere control platform is installed in locations across the world and is proven to be the ideal choice for small to medium (SME) and large scale enterprise class applications, such as within casinos, airports, logistics sites and sports stadiums, to name but a few. “Ultimately, we can integrate anything, and we aim to provide a flexible and open integration approach for our customers,” says Kai Gronauer, Dallmeier Alliance Manager. “With the new barox functionalities, we’re offering integrators and end-user customers, a route to combining the high quality product performance of the Dallmeier and barox brands within one, seamlessly integrated control platform.

 

“Another advantage of the new integration is that barox match their product quality and performance with a high-level of technical support. Our experience is that if we have an issue to solve, barox are always readily available and respond very quickly with a practical solution.”

 

An invaluable system operations and diagnostics tool, the barox Ethernet switch integration provides Hemisphere® users with live status updates of the customers  entire network and connected devices. One of the many reasons why barox Ethernet switches are fast becoming the integration solution of choice is their enhanced diagnostic data, showing the status of cameras and switches on a graphical chart – this enables the fast pinpointing of network or device issues, where faults or outages can be diagnosed remotely.

 

Saving on invaluable device downtime, if a network camera fails to respond, barox switches can be used to autonomously send a re-boot command. In many cases, this functionality can bring a device back online to resolve the issue without the need for engineer involvement. In the case of a security breach, devices can be disabled at user level to maintain system operation, whilst full remote control of PoE on ports allows users to re-set or switch them off if required. This advanced capability stands barox apart from other network equipment manufacturers and has proven to be an invaluable asset and quite literally, ‘game-changing’ in the management of high security video surveillance networks.

 

The new barox solution  is joining a family of Hemisphere® in-depth integration and control options that enable the control of IP surveillance cameras, casino dealing shoes, intrusion detection, fire detection, access control and Point-of-sale systems via the Hemisphere® software platform.

 

“We are delighted that the integration of the Hemisphere® Enterprise VMS open software platform and barox switches is now available from Dallmeier,” says Rudolf Rohr, Co-founder and Managing Partner of barox. “This integration allows Hemisphere® operators the ultimate user control of our Ethernet switches directly from the VMS. The advanced switch functionality of barox provides significant added value for operators of professional video security systems.”

 

Dallmeier’s CEO, Thomas Dallmeier added: “The integration of barox networking products to the Hemisphere® Enterprise VMS open software platform underlines the long-standing technical collaboration between Dallmeier and barox. This cooperation aligns with the growing demands of the Enterprise class security sector and the goals of Dallmeier users, intelligently linking data from various sources with video images and processes.”
