2017
Features and sophisticated functionality that customers have already come to expect from CathexisVision
System upgrades
H.265 SUPPORT
CathexisVision 2017 now provides the necessary support for the H.265 protocol. A cutting-edge, high-efciency video codec, which is being increasingly adopted by IP camera manufacturers globally.
New API for integrations
The new Application Programming Interface (API) provides for added functionality and more contemporary HTTP/RTSP/SIP protocol. In addition, it provides a user-friendly solution to interface third party
systems, including: Building Management Systems, Physical Security Information System (PSIM) and Situational Awareness Platforms. Cathexis has also added a sample application to make the integration simpler and perform intermittent troubleshooting.
64 BIT operating system
CathexisVision 2017 has been fully tted for future enhancement by signicantly improving the overall operating system. Clients will benefit from the fact that CathexisVision software will make full use of all available resources from the ever improving available recording and client viewing server hardware.

Search tool
SnapSearch
The new CathexisVision SnapSearch feature signicantly enhances control room performance by speeding up control room searches and eliminating the need to scrutinize signicant portions of footage to locate on specificc incident.
Adjacent camera mapping
The Adjacent Camera Tracking feature provides a powerful enhancement to the control room environment, particularly for larger sites, which require hundreds of surveillance cameras. It enables customers to “map” cameras together so that operators are able to view all cameras adjacent to the camera currently in view. This makes it possible to follow people or speciÿc incidents taking place on site.
User management
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)
CathexisVision now supports the LDAP and Windows Active Directory for enterprise level, centralised user-management. This enables customers to adopt the CathexisVision software seamlessly within their existing network management framework.
Enhancements to ANPR
Having launched the highly effective ANPR feature in 2016, this new edition of CathexisVision 2017 includes a number of enhancements to the ANPR feature, including: the addition of more fields to include more categories for Middle Eastern license plate support. Cathexis has also added an easy-to-use API to allow third party systems to receive ANPR information from the Cathexis system.
Archiving
Cathexis has also increased the level of video “signing” to explicitly associate the signatures with the source. This has also provided more detail in the archive player of the video veriÿcation results. There are also some modiÿcations to the archive password process where auditing of these new security measures has also been added.
Camera enhancements
Text and graphic overlays
CathexisVision has added even greater functionality to its video overlays to display text and other information from resident and third party devices on the camera panels. Cathexis now has the ability to re-position text overlay blocks, and to change overlay sizes, text sizes, transparency and colour. We also now have the ability to overlay graphics (like active graphs for a metal detector integration or vehicle and driver images for ANPR).
Anti-Tamper dectection
CathexisVision 2017 comes with complete anti-tamper technology, which will notify the control room via an alarm in the event of any IP surveillance camera tempering, including: lens covering or spray painting. Clients can also include a user-deÿned speciÿc action for the alarm, to which the person tampering with the devise will be unaware of.
Integrations
Continuously adding new integrations:
- Matrix barcode reader integration.
- inMotion SEEKER Metal Detector
- RiscoSystem alarm panels
