AMAG Technology Presents Symmetry™ Video

Torrance, CA (September 25, 2006) – AMAG Technology, a G4Tec Company, presents Symmetry™ Video, a powerful video solution that seamlessly integrates with the Symmetry™ Professional Security Management System to provide a synergistic security management solution. Symmetry Video’s open platform supports multiple technologies which allow users to migrate from analog to digital technology at their own pace. Symmetry Video seamlessly integrates with intrusion, access control, and numerous other security and building functions.

Symmetry Video Management can stop crimes in progress through advanced, ‘smart’ software. The software allows users to configure the video system to recognize a behavior they want to identify. Security personnel are alerted immediately of an alarm, reducing the negative impact of security breaches. The technology sifts through irrelevant activity and significantly reduces costly false alarms.

Symmetry Video Management software records live video. Security administrators can view up to 36 concurrent cameras per client PC on the virtual matrix. Display several screens on one monitor to view live, recorded or archived images simultaneously. The security administrator can record at his/her command to be sure not to miss an event.

Optimize your IT network infrastructure with Symmetry ENVS® (Edge Network Video Server). Symmetry ENVS’ powerful store and forward solution lets you store data at the edge of the LAN/WAN. Forward data when you choose, keeping data and network integrity intact. Archive data at a convenient time, reducing network stress.

AMAG’s Symmetry multiNODE intelligent controllers combined with the ENVS using peer-to-peer communications provide enhanced access control and video. Symmetry Video and Symmetry Security Management are tightly integrated for event based recording or trigger based commands.

“The Symmetry ENVS coupled with the Symmetry Video Management software module provides another progressive security management alternative to AMAG customers who need a video solution deeply integrated with their access control system,” said AMAG President, Bob Sawyer.

• Distinguishes between humans, autos and environmental backgrounds.
