Cloud-based GARDiSVU VMS to be unveiled at The Security Event 2023

Exhibiting on Stand G40 in Hall 4, TDSi will also be affording visitors a chance to view the company’s new GARDiS app in action, which enables security operators to securely manage a wealth of different access control options from anywhere using a compatible iOS or Android device.

Further, representatives from the Poole-based business will be discussing the latest additions to the new Version 2.5 of its powerful GARDiS software.

TDSi is gearing up for another busy appearance at the show. Managing director John Davies observed: “We are always excited to be appearing at The Security Event. This year, we have a particularly impressive array of new products to showcase to visitors. We are particularly proud to be launching our new GARDiSVU video management solution, which stands as TDSi’s first cloud-based CCTV offering. There will be a dedicated pod on Stand G40 to demonstrate the system and its considerable abilities.”

Major project

GARDiSVU represents a major project for TDSi and provides integration between the GARDiS software platform and the cloud computing engine and CCTV system from fellow VITAPROTECH Group member RECAS.

Based upon the powerful Foxstream video analytics engine, GARDiSVU will be available in the UK and internationally, replacing the previous VUgarde solution with a cloud-based alternative that fully embraces the flexibility and convenience of this approach.

The Security Event is also a great opportunity for visitors to learn more about the versatility and flexibility of TDSi’s highly secure GARDiS app. This provides a number of important features for security operators looking to access the GARDiS system via a mobile device, including people management (it’s possible to add, edit or delete users from access authorisation), live events information, door control and visual verification.

Version 2.5 of TDSi’s GARDiS software features a number of new integrations with other systems/security providers, among them Pelco’s VideoXpert, Hikvision’s HikCentral platform and Suprema’s biometric readers. New features include enhanced mantrap/air locking functionality and local anti-passback (across a reader or group of readers), departmental – as well as individual – default access levels and additional access permissions for specific groups, along with egress buttons scheduling.

Targeted marketing

In addition to preparing its latest products and updates, TDSi has been busy promoting its forthcoming appearance at The Security Event.

On that note, Davies elaborated: “If you look at the size of the show, it has pretty much doubled every year since it launched. We’re looking forward to welcoming even more visitors to our stand this year. We have conducted a lot of pre-show targeted marketing for specific vertical sectors, such as healthcare, education and construction, as we feel The Security Event is the perfect opportunity for end users, as well as installers, to view the array of secure access control and integrated security systems on offer from the business.”

Davies concluded: “We will be delighted to welcome visitors on Stand G40 and to discuss their pain points and security needs. In addition, we are proud to be sponsoring the ‘Happy Hour’ this year, which is always a great opportunity for people to network at the end of each day at the NEC. That’s a very important element of face-to-face events such as this one.”
