EIZO Corporation today announced that it has partnered with Qognify, one of the world's leading security solution providers, to integrate EIZO DuraVision IP decoding solutions with Qognify VMS (Video Management Software) solutions.

The complexity of today's security systems requires greater integration to streamline operations for users and provide advanced features within technology solutions. Through the collaboration of EIZO and Qognify, EIZO IP decoding solutions have been natively integrated with Qognify VMS, allowing end users to easily manage the video surveillance system from a single application.

EIZO's latest generation of IP decoding solutions, which include an IP decoding box and monitors, connect directly to an IP camera or switch with just a LAN cable, enabling computerless video streaming. Qognify VMS is designed for corporate and enterprise projects where the focus is on connectivity, business process integration and low total cost of ownership.

The integration of the two products allows users to control and monitor EIZO's IP decoding solutions directly from a Qognify VMS, including intuitive drag-and-drop for camera stream layouts, automatic detection and registration of cameras that are already part of the VMS solution, and customization of image playback layouts. This simplifies initial system setup and live operation by allowing users to access settings directly from a central solution without having to access the monitor's user interface separately. This also benefits environments where monitors are installed in remote locations, as staff need to be on site less frequently to make adjustments or perform maintenance.

Daniel Bechler, Director Global Partners & Alliances at Qognify, explains, "A major benefit of Qognify VMS is its ability to deliver video-centric operations of any scale with a single platform that can efficiently manage the entire surveillance operation. Its open enterprise architecture allows for collaboration and seamless integration of solutions such as EIZO DuraVision that provide real value and benefits to our customers."

Masaki Kita, Operating Officer, R&D General Manager, Visual Products Department at EIZO Corporation, says, "It has always been important to us to develop solutions that not only function reliably within the larger security system, but also integrate seamlessly with them to reduce the burden on installers and operators. By working closely with the Qognify development team, we were able to create an interoperable solution that is intuitive and reduces the complexity of initial security setup."

The products listed below are natively integrated with Qognify VMS 7.2 and higher. An Enterprise license from EIZO for DuraVision IP decoding solutions is required.
