3xLOGIC introduces All-in-One Functionality for specific camera models

3xLOGIC, the provider of integrated and intelligent security solutions, has announced the availability of its All-in-One Functionality for the company’s serverless camera bundle, indoor cube camera and 56-degree thermal camera offerings.

All-in-One cameras feature on-board storage and, with the purchase of appropriate licensing, allow the camera to function as a standalone VIGIL Server. The cameras can also be used in conjunction with a VIGIL DVR for redundant storage capability.

As a standalone camera, All-in- One models are compatible with the entire VIGIL Software Suite, including direct access through VIGIL Client and the mobile app View Lite II, as well as with VIGIL Central Management for remote health monitoring and notification.

“As dealers and customers look for more ways in which to balance and optimise video delivery and video verification, so the need for camera-based edge storage and remote accessibility has increased,” said Bill Hobbs, vice-president of global sales at 3xLOGIC. “The new All-in-One feature addresses these requirements with an affordable, redundant and edge-based solution.”

All-in-One Functionality

All-in-One Functionality is now available on the following new solutions from 3xLOGIC:

Serverless Camera Bundle

Designed for SMEs, as well as being suitable for educational, retail, healthcare and warehouse and distribution environments, the 3xLOGIC Serverless Camera Bundle offers those organisations that don’t have support staff to maintain on-site servers and infrastructure the opportunity to benefit from a cutting-edge security solution.

Flexibility, functionality, scalability and future-proofing are at the heart of the Serverless Camera Bundle. As the world moves away from on-premises servers and into the cloud, 3xLOGIC has provided an interim step with serverless cameras that offer a ‘per camera’ alternative. However, recognising that requirements change, it’s possible to add a server if required or otherwise transition to the highly cost-effective 3xLOGIC cloud solution.

The Serverless Camera Bundle incorporates 3xLOGIC VISIX devices that boast all-in-one functionality. Users can choose from the VISIX 5MP fixed 2.8 mm lens indoor/outdoor vandal-proof mini-dome and VISIX 5 MP fixed 4 mm lens outdoor mini-bullet cameras, which are both available in 128 GB or 256 GB storage options.

Both variants feature solid state components so there are no mechanical drives as failure points. They can be configured using the VISIX Setup App.

Remote access to live and recorded video is possible through VIGIL Client and/or the VIGIL View Lite II App.

Indoor Cube Camera

The 2 MP Indoor/Outdoor Multi-Sensor Cube Camera with Wi-Fi. Featuring built-in passive infrared sensors, two-way audio and digital I/O, the VX-2M-CPIR-IAW delivers a feature- rich IP camera, alarm annunciator and audio in a single small unit.

With dual-streaming compression, the VX-2M-CPIR-IAW realises recording at the highest quality levels while enabling fast live viewing from anywhere regardless of available bandwidth.

The camera can be used with optional edge recording for a true all-in-one solution or it can be coupled with the VIGIL Series of NVRs and VMS software for superior point-to-point hardware compression and decompression in order to allow for maximum performance of live streamed video. This provides higher-quality video, more concurrent streams and a lower overall demand on CPU performance.

56-Degree Thermal Imager

The new 56-degree field of view thermal imager provides enhanced detection capabilities and is ideal for surveillance applications with insufficient lighting or in areas where smoke, fog or dust are an issue.

The 56-degree thermal device is ideal for surveillance and detection applications where there’s insufficient lighting, or for those customers who want visibility where they once had none. Edge-based recording software and an advanced analytics engine eliminate the need for an on-site server.

In addition to detecting intruders, the thermal fulfils another increasingly important function: equipment temperature monitoring. The ability to monitor generators, electrical panels and other equipment – and proactively notify the end user of an overheating or runaway condition – is a highly effective way in which to manage and preserve assets and security.

Target markets for this thermal device include car dealerships and equipment rental companies, utilities, sub-stations and maintenance facilities, seaports, railway yards and airports in addition to education campuses.

Steve Riley appointed in key sales role for PAC-GDX and 3XLOGIC brands

Steve Riley has been appointed in key sales role for PAC-GDX and 3XLOGIC brands. Formerly with Risco for over seven years, industry stalwart Riley has joined the organisation with an ambition to grow market share across all brands by adding value to security solutions in the form of business intelligence.

On his new role, Riley commented: “It’s a very exciting time to be joining this organisation because we have several exciting product launches planned. I see so much potential in the integration of our brands and the resulting ability to offer solutions that very few companies can provide.”

He continued: “By harnessing the secure data which is on board many security systems already out in the field, we can provide valuable insights for end users, such as tracking how, when and where people move around buildings. This is the sort of information that can really assist with everything from COVID-19 procedures to energy savings.”

Riley will also be re-shaping and re-energising the organisation’s channel engagement, developing new distribution partnerships and relationships with system integrators here in the UK and across Europe.

“Some of our brands have been associated with certain market sectors to date and they have dominated those sectors,” asserted Riley, “but interoperability across our brands and calibrating the right products to suit the application means that our security installers and system integrators can target any kind of business from SMEs right the way up to enterprise-level plcs.”

Welcoming Riley to the fold, Bill Hobbs (global sales leader for all brands) enthused: “Steve has joined us on the brink of huge growth potential for the company and his energy and management skills are a welcome addition at this exciting time.”
