March Networks integrates its Command video management software with Bosch IP cameras

by Shane Henson — December 12, 2012—March Networks, a global provider of intelligent Internet protocol (IP) video solutions, has announced that its Command video management system (VMS) software is fully integrated with the Bosch line of advanced video surveillance cameras.

Command works with best-in-class information technology servers or March Networks’ family of hybrid network video recorders. It also supports the company’s portfolio of high-definition IP cameras, encoders and embedded video analytics, helping users to transition from traditional closed-circuit television systems to IP video networking.

According to March Networks, the certified integration provides Command systems integrators and customers with additional flexibility when selecting the most suitable solution for their needs. It simplifies and speeds deployments, while enabling organizations to maximize existing technology investments.

The certified integration also makes it even easier for existing Bosch IP camera customers to adopt and benefit from the capabilities of March Networks Command. The software is one of the only VMS solutions able to support complete surveillance system configuration and administration—in addition to live and archived video access—via a browser-based client interface, says March Networks.

Built with an emphasis on efficiency and user-focused design, Command delivers key features, including mass configuration, alarm monitoring and management, real-time alerting with handling and acknowledgment procedures, and one-click access to associated camera views and alarm playback. A time-saving text overlay capability allows organizations to configure, view and export superimposed retail point-of-sale, license plate or other text data onto associated video to speed investigations and improve overall operational awareness, adds March Networks.
