My Vision

Cameras as Alarm Sensors

My vision for what I call the new alarm industry is to have video cameras as sensors, complete with video zones and video panels that can now be armed and disarmed by the end user - just like an intrusion system.

That means we do not always need to connect a camera to an alarm intrusion device or a video analytic trigger to receive video verification in the central station as has been the norm.

As everything is currently on the network and can communicate through the Internet, there are now new options. Why can’t a camera send a signal to the central station for monitoring when triggered without necessarily being tied to an intrusion device? This now opens a world of possibilities, new services, and increased RMR.

Check out the article below, "Bridging Current Alarm Monitoring Infrastructure with Traditional Video" that will provide a bit more insight.

The new video alarm industry is all about cameras as sensors, that utilizes the central station’s infrastructure with its core business model. Because of this, my vision for the new alarm industry takes advantage of a model that central stations and dealers are familiar with and brings us into the future, opening new opportunities and possibilities.

Why the Matrix Open Platform is Better than Platforms with APIs

Did you know that Matrix Interactive is an Open Platform that does not use traditional APIs?

The main benefit of an Open Platform is that it simplifies interoperability, and communications, while providing unlimited integration opportunities. On the other hand, APIs use the data from one service in another app. It isused for data integration, data synchronization, and for making an application talk with another application.

Our open platform has many features that traditional API do not have, making it the best choice for central monitoring stations, integrators, and command centers. Here are just several benefits:

• Matrix is compatible with all major brands of IP cameras and AI analytic providers
• Because Matrix is open platform and cloud-based, you never need to worry about upgrades or maintenance
• Matrix has a single intuitive interface for all devices and services. You do not need to jump between several interfaces to access your data, saving time and effort.
• Matrix can easily be customized

Plus, click on the photo and the video clip will automatically pop up!

The Matrix Interactive Difference

Bridging Current Alarm Monitoring Infrastructure with Traditional Video

Here is how it works:

Video event monitoring processes is similar to intrusion and other central station monitoring services. 

• Cameras with analytics = Video sensors 
• Group of cameras = video zones
• Group of video zones = Video panel
• Customer can arm and disarm video panel as a traditional alarm system
• Central station receives video alarm events

There are billions of cameras that can become video alarm sensors… What a great opportunity for your company and for providing end users with new video services and enhanced security.

Now you can easily monitor video just like intrusion alarms!

The IPtelX Advantage

Intelligent Call Routing Can Reduce Carrier Costs, Control Quality, and Balance Traffic

Employing a comprehensive call routing system is essential for a network with multiple carriers. Call routing solutions from IPtelX not only provide traditional least cost routing (LCR) functionality, but can also route according to other criteria, including call quality using measurements like mean opinion scores (MOS), session initiation protocol (SIP) response codes, Post dial delay (PDD), packet loss, or jitter.

Few call routing engines analyze data within the call stream to perfect the call quality a client is receiving. In addition, IPtelX can provide custom interfacing with other software or systems through its API, which could allow customer-provided data to affect the call routing decisions.

Give us a call. IPtelX will help you understand the options and help you make the right decision for your company.
