Wayne, NJ
(February 26, 2009) –
JVC demonstrated instant integration with a key iPhone/iPod touch
mobile video application developer and the versatile convenience of
its video surveillance products at the Milestone Integration
Platform Symposium (MIPS 2009) held earlier this month in Las Vegas.
JVC crowned its presence at the symposium by capturing the
prestigious MIPS Manufacturer of the Year award for their line of
embedded network video recorders (NVRs), the VR-N1600U
and VR-N900U, and complete line of IP network cameras.
Milestone MIPS is the annual forum for open
architecture IP video surveillance advocates to evaluate the state
of the IP video surveillance industry and demonstrate plug and play
applications. JVC is a founding partner in the MIPS forum having
participated in every one since inception four years ago.
Together with Lextech Labs, developer of the
mobile video surveillance application iRa Pro for iPhone and iPod
touch, JVC demonstrated that seamless integration with their widely
popular 16-channel VR-N1600U and 9-channel
VR-N900U Network Video Recorders is easily achieved through the open
architecture API.
In a demonstration on the MIPS show floor,
JVC allowed Lextech Labs to log in to one of its VR-N1600U recorders
by simply entering a URL into its iRa Pro application on an iPhone.
Using the familiar touch interface, the iPhone immediately accessed
the video and the group watched as the surveillance cameras located
on the opposite coast were controlled remotely. The Lextech software
indicates whether the camera is PTZ or static and allows direct
control of camera positioning with exceptional video quality and
minimal lag.
“It was great to work with the JVC team at
MIPS and get hands-on with their technology. The integration between
iRa Pro and the JVC DNS was quick, simple, and a true testament to
the quality of each of our products,” said Alex
Bratton, President & CEO, Lextech Labs.
The ability to achieve instant integration
with JVC’s embedded Milestone NVRs combined with user-friendly
mobile functionality is tremendous news for JVC’s customers, who
can now access and control their surveillance solutions in the palm
of their hands from anywhere.
“The test of interoperable open
architecture comes when two companies develop complementary products
to the same specification and they can plug and play immediately,”
said Geoff Anderson, national marketing manager for JVC's Physical Security
Division. “It is like building a bridge from two sides of a river
and meeting exactly in the middle. In this case, nothing is left to
chance with the open API other developers can use for
interoperability.”
JVC will be exhibiting at ISC West April 1-3,
2009 in Las Vegas, booth #8109 where you can see a live
demonstration of the iPhone and iPod touch logging into various JVC
network recorders from around the globe and located in the booth.
