Computer Center understands that the security industry has very demanding needs and deals with challenging environments every day and night.
We offer the best technology based on SAM systems solution, leader in the security and surveillance industry. SAM system puts you in control to monitor your home, office, manufacturing plan, school and many more 24/7 from anywhere in the world.

Most video solutions today use a derivative of MPEG for compression, which was designed for the entertainment industry. SAM has an exclusive encoding process that is designed specifically for real-time video in challenging environments.

SAM video output is playable on nearly any PC with no extra software or decoder needed, allowing for easy review of footage by authorities and law enforcement.

SAM Core3 is designed for the latest IP Video camera technology for savings in infrastructure and increased capability. However, SAM also easily accommodates analog cameras, allowing customers to upgrade in stages and preserve their existing investments.

In many retail environments it is critical to keep recurring costs and shrinkage, both internal and external, to a minimum. SAM can help with both problems. Using one tenth the bandwidth of other solutions, SAM video can be monitored remotely in real-time without expensive internet service costs. With cost-effective long-term recording SAM can be used to store years of immediately accessible video, helping in tracking trends and also reducing liability from false injury claims that are often filed months later.

SAM Core3 Enterprise series has extensive integration capabilities, combining video and Point-of-Sale data in an easy to search interface. POS data can be quickly searched for different criteria, providing instant access to both the recorded footage, and a recreation of the original transaction as it occurred.

SAM is also perfect for multiple locations, which can be streamed to a central server for long-term redundant archiving, capturing video up to the second before theft or destruction of the store security system.

 

SAM Solutions are well suited to use by governments agencies, including municipalities, Police / Fire, Schools, Homeland Security, and military. All SAM video content can be fully encrypted at levels meeting or exceeding Federal Government standards.

For military and DHS applications SAM mobile features are often useful, and low bandwidth consumption can enable better video over private radio and satellite networks for remote areas.

SAM video output is playable on nearly any PC with no extra software or decoder needed, allowing for easy review of footage by various agencies without the need for special software or licensing

SAM is providing solutions in the transportation industry that were not possible before. Existing mobile video solutions are fraught with difficulties. Hard drive recording can be unreliable and result in unexpected downtime and maintenance expense due to shock and vibration. Internet / network access is very limited so live viewing is typically not feasible or acceptable. Centralized management is also a difficulty, especially with large deployments.

SAM has answers to these concerns. Our video efficiency allows for mobile units that are based on flash memory cards, like those used in cameras or music players, for no moving parts and no risk of damage due to shock or vibration. In addition, SAM Core3 has been proven to provide quality real-time video from multiple cameras over a single cellular connection!

The SAM Core3 Mobile solution has synchronization abilities, allowing for short-term vehicle based recording with automatic transfer to a central server when within wireless (Wi-Fi or LAN) range. As soon as the vehicle is back at the station the transfer begins, each clip is transferred and verified, a full day of footage typically transfers in 5-15 minutes. Now all recorded video can be access by vehicle or camera number from a single point, no tapes or hard drives to exchange, no moving parts, and no regular human interaction needed!

Manufacturing and Industrial environments have many opportunities for using surveillance not only for security and safety, but to increase productivity, monitor and assist in servicing of equipment, training, and workflow management.

These environments also have unique challenges for surveillance. Long distances, harsh environments, and tight budgets. They are particularly suited to the capabilities of IP cameras, which can be used wirelessly or with structured cabling without the requirement for separate cabling per camera. Cameras can be integrated with equipment sensors and safety devices, and many are available in rugged housings to resist vapors, dust, and debris.

SAM provides the savings in bandwidth to make it feasible to monitor in real-time without a major recurring cost in internet services. With the storage savings, it becomes possible to store for years or more, saving liability and providing documentation for disputes, claims, and policy violations... even years down the road.

There are many challenges with effectively using video for day-to-day operations.
Whether video is being used for productivity, security, or conferencing, a common challenge is the amount of storage and bandwidth consumed. Video takes up large amounts of storage space, making it difficult to store long periods. Video also uses tremendous amounts of network bandwidth, making it very difficult to transmit quality live video over a Wide Area Network, VPN, or Internet Connection.

The solution to these problems is in making the video more efficient, through various means including Video Compression and intelligent use of network resources.


Intelligent Content Analysis
MPEG-4 and most other compression formats in common use today were not specifically designed or optimized for security or surveillance video, but instead for broadcast or entertainment purposes like movies and television. The surveillance world does not have the luxury of a controlled studio environment, and thus has additional challenges. The video is often in situations of poor lighting, outdoor cameras deal with weather and vibration from wind and other objects, and video quality and framerate can be degraded because of cabling and transmission limitations. Specialty cameras with Megapixel offer extremely high-resolution and quality, but then take up exponentially more space. The answer is Intelligent Content AnalysisT. An exclusive new technology from SAM Systems, ICA is an intelligent pre-compression filter. ICA analyzes and enhances the video before it is compressed and thus is compression-independent; the resulting video is of higher quality while still maintaining compatibility. SAM content that is enhanced with ICA is Windows Media compatible and will still play back on nearly any computer without any additional software requirements.

ICA is especially designed to enhance video for security purposes. It analyzes video on a sub-pixel level, and works with the compression system to focus attention on important areas instead of storing background noise, vibration, and image defect introduced by the camera or image transmission. In typical circumstances ICA reduces the bandwidth and storage requirements by an additional 75%. The result is an average improvement of 90% compared to MPEG-4.


Network Video Tunneling
Network Video TunnelingT (NVT) is another exclusive patent-pending feature that works by allowing multiple remote users to share a single video stream. For example, Bob is in his office at headquarters watching live video from a remote location. This operation is using a certain amount of network bandwidth. Now Mary connects to the same location to view this video. Under normal circumstances, this would result in double the bandwidth consumption. With NVT the server can detect multiple users viewing the same video, a situation common in medium to large organizations. The server sends the live video to the first user as normal, and the viewing software on their PC shares the video in real-time with second user. The feature is scalable to hundreds of connections, and happens automatically with no special network configuration required. Like ICA, Network Video Tunneling is compression-independent, and can work with Windows Media or with other formats if needed. The more users that need access to video, the larger the potential cost savings.

 

Adaptive Video Resolution
Adaptive Video Resolution is a patent-pending technology that senses the usage of the system by a particular client, and scales the video as needed. For example, while watching a screen full of 8 or more cameras each image is much smaller than it's full resolution, however other systems would still send the high resolution (and high bandwidth!) image, only to be resized when displayed to the screen. SAM is smart enough to detect the size the video is being displayed and can scale the image in real-time before it leaves the server. The same images and quality are seen by the viewer, it is simply a matter of scaling before instead of after the video is transmitted, resulting in a substantial decrease in bandwidth usage.
