High-Volume IP Surveillance Software includes H.265 HVEC support.
Press Release Summary:
To drive compression efficiency, GV-VMS v15.10 offers H.265 HEVC (high efficiency video coding) compatibility and up to 64ch support. Video coding technology maximizes video quality at low bit rates to optimize network usage and reduce storage expenditure, and outdoor intelligent motion detection decreases false alarms from natural motion. Other features include heatmap, camera corridor mode support, access control and LPR integration, and GPU decoding/fisheye dewarping.

Geovision Debuts H265 VMS at ISC
Taipei, Taiwan — For 15 consecutive years, Geovision will be joining with over 1,000 security manufacturers at the largest physical security tradeshow in North America -- the ISC West. This year, on the Geovision stand, they will present the latest market innovations, including the flagship monitoring software GV-VMS now with H.265 HEVC compatibility and up to 64ch support, as well as 12MP IP camera models to add to its comprehensive line of IP cameras. With the continuous expansion in integrated solutions and customisable features, Geovision expects visitors to view them as a true end-to-end security provider.
The highly-anticipated GV-VMS for up to 64ch support was officially released in Q1 this year as the solution to industry professionals in search of an efficient high-volume IP surveillance software. At the show, Geovision will be debuting the latest version release, the GV-VMS v15.10, as one of the first H.265 HEVC (high efficiency video coding) video management softwares on the market. Through the implementation of H.265, GV-VMS v15.10 will deliver up to twice the compression efficiency compared to the previous H.264 version. This next-generation high efficiency video coding technology maximizes video quality at low bit rates to optimise network usage and reduce storage costs. High-megapixel IP cameras will also be able to operate more efficiently without disruption on network infrastructures as a result of H.265 in the latest version release.
In addition to the high efficiency video coding technology, GV-VMS v15.10 will also include many market-demanded features, such as outdoor intelligent motion detection to decrease false alarms from natural motion (i.e. rain, snow, waves, motion of trees and grass, etc.). A heatmap feature will also be added to assist retail management in identifying hot zones. Other new features in v15.10 will include support for camera corridor mode, integration with access control and LPR, and GPU decoding and GPU fisheye dewarping. As with the first release of the GV-VMS v14.10, the interface is designed to be intuitive, simple, and clean. In terms of the DVR/NVR software, GV-VMS has added features such as customisable live and playback layout, live and playback of preview windows, drag-and-drop live channels, fisheye dewarp for individual channels, Windows service mode, multiple monitor support with customisable live view layout, and timeline playback.
In its effort to provide the most comprehensive line of IP cameras, Geovision will introduce several new models at the ISC West. Among the featured highlights in the IP camera lineup will be the debut of the 12MP IP camera models, including the 12MP box IP camera and the 12MP fisheye IP camera. The Unicam will also be demonstrated as the first covert IP camera with microphone and interchangeable lens for flexible installation. In keeping with the new H.265 standard, GV-BL5700 will also be introduced to implement H.265 to reduce bit rate requirements while maintaining the same quality video. Other models to be demonstrated at the show will include the Target Series that feature models with the most optimal performance-to-price ratio, the Aurora Series with models that can provide colour video under dark environmental conditions with as little as .01 lux of lighting, and the Arctic Series with models that can withstand extreme weather conditions, and much more.
As cloud-centric surveillance continues to be the trend for the industry, Geovision will be presenting developments in this lineup at the show. The upcoming Cloud series will offer solutions for small businesses looking for IP surveillance. All models in the series will support cloud storage at 1MP recording to provide excellent video quality. To meet the standards and requirements of various sites, the series offers a wide range of options, including popular models such as outdoor, indoor, night-vision and, Wifi.
Visitors to the Geovision booth will also be presented with PoE switches designed exclusively for IP surveillance. The selection ranges from 10/100M to Gigabit, with 4, 8, 16, and 24 port models to allow flexible wiring and provide sufficient power for IP cameras in an IP-based surveillance infrastructure. To overcome the distance restriction in PoE technology, Geovision will also introduce a model of PoE extender, GV-POEX0100, which is a single-port 10/100 PoE extender that can extend the distance between a PoE switch and a GV-IP Camera by 100m (328ft) for every extender installed. Without the use of an additional power supply, up to five extenders can be serially connected to transmit power and data to a GV-IP Camera located as far as 600m (1968.5ft) away from the PoE switch.
In maintaining the theme of easy installation, Geovision will present the GV-SNVR, which is a Linux-based recorder available in 4, 8, and 16 channels and records in both high and low resolution streams with maximum 16-channel simultaneous playback. The GV-NAS System will also be demonstrated as a Linux-based, network-attached storage device designed to store GV-IP camera recordings. The GV-NAS System features RAID to ensure data security allows access from multiple users over multiple platforms. The GV-Edge Recording Manager can be integrated to manage high-volume GV-IP cameras with an integrated interface that allows users to assign recordings to the designated folder in GV-NAS Systems.
