GARDiSVU hybrid cloud-based VMS unveiled by TDSi

Posted to Products on Friday, June 2, 2023 Share:

INTEGRATED ACCESS control and security solutions manufacturer TDSi has announced the launch of its GARDiSVU VMS. This is the company’s first hybrid cloud-based CCTV offering, which is designed to synchronise directly with – and complement – the GARDiS ecosystem of integrated access control and security solutions.

The GARDiSVU VMS is another key component in the GARDiS range, which features a hybrid cloud-based approach to security for flexibility of operations and installation in order to meet the needs of what is a rapidly evolving market.

Leveraging the considerable pool of security technology expertise within its parent organisation (namely the VITAPROTECH Group), GARDiSVU makes good use of the powerful computing engine and CCTV system developed by fellow member company RECAS and the powerful video analytics engine from recently added group member Foxstream.

GARDiSVU’s hybrid cloud solution offers on-premises video storage with cloud-based supervision and monitoring. This system architecture combines the benefits of 24/7 browser-based monitoring and video management with physical on-premises storage, which reduces the ongoing cost implications and data security concerns often associated with data storage in the cloud.

Further, GARDiSVU runs as a service to provide a complete turnkey CCTV and VMS solution which is quick and easy to install and simple to operate, combining recording servers, remote display servers and a VMS and monitoring solution. The system works with RTSP and ONVIF camera streams from Dahua, Axis Communications, Bosch, Hikvision, Sony and Hanwha Visuion, which are automatically detected on demand to provide fast and efficient set-up.

Powerful surveillance element

John Davies, managing director of TDSi, commented: “We’re very excited to be launching our first cloud-based CCTV offering, which brings together our GARDiS access control range with a powerful video and surveillance element. This has been a major project for our development team, underpinned by rigorous testing to ensure this solution delivers the detection and alert capabilities that any automated security system requires.”

Available in the UK and across its international markets, the GARDiSVU solution represents an important development in TDSi’S product portfolio. “TDSi has a long-standing tradition of integrating video systems with our access control solutions,” said Davies, “and notably so with our venerable VUgarde2 VMS. With GARDiS centred on cloud solutions, the time was right for an update. GARDiSVU takes video management and integrated security to the next level in terms of a powerful hybrid-cloud based approach. It’s an approach that perfectly meets the need for flexibility and strength in the post-pandemic world.”
