Using NX witness as a virtual guard system
Answered
Hi there,
I notice that there are software that have virtual guard system whereby using cameras, they can use it as a virtual patrol. Can NX do the same. If not I am looking at HIK Central Reguard. Possible to do some integration with it?
Thanks

Hello Muhammad Fuad bin Ramlan,
Can you elaborate more specific what you mean with a Virtual Guard System? What features are you looking for?
Regarding integration, Nx Witness is quite easy to integrate into other application due to our freely available API, that enables you to send and receive requests from and to 3rd party applications.

Hi Norman,
Virtual Guard allows an operator to open up a few cameras at once. Operator will then select the camera and a report will pop up. I am looking at HIK Central Regaurd under their virtual patrol. I have attached a link of such example.

Do see if there is a way NX is able to do the same or better.
Thanks

What you are looking for is a Security Management System (SMS), while Nx Witness is a Video Management System (VMS), which can be integrated into an SMS.
That being said, there are some options to use Nx Witness VMS, somewhat, but not entirely are an SMS.
The tour can be done with our Showreel feature, to display any camera, layout or webpage, while events can be triggered with a Soft Trigger, and these Soft Triggers can create a Desktop Notification for any or all users or some user groups.
These desktop notifications, can Force Acknowledgement, which forces the user to enter a description of the event, which will be stored as a bookmark, which can be reviewed at a later moment, downloaded, etc.
Typically, this does the job for most local application, while if you are running an Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) you typically use an SMS, instead of a VMS.

Hi Norman,
Thanks for the help. I manage to try on the examples you give me and I am good with it. However is there any way that the bookmark can be export via pdf or excel instead?
And if I were to export 1 camera, they force notification can be seen. But if i were to extract all cameras at 1 go, the force notification cannot be seen.
