1.05 Concept Pro & Network Optix: A New Benchmark in VMS Integration

We are delighted to announce that Concept Pro is undergoing an extensive, deep-level integration with the industry-leading VMS provider, Network Optix (Nx).

This collaboration marks a significant milestone for the Concept Pro ecosystem, bringing our advanced hardware and the renowned Nx Witness VMS together into one seamless, professional solution.

This integration covers our entire range, including our full suite of IP cameras, thermal technology, the market-leading AI Bridge, and crucially our complete range of recorders.

Full Brand Integration: Concept Pro hardware with Network Optix Software

The strength of this partnership lies in the technical depth of the integration. We have ensured that the most sophisticated features of the Concept Pro range are fully accessible and native within the Nx Witness environment

· Camera Compatibility: Full, plug-and-play support for the Concept Pro camera range, ensuring effortless setup combined with the superior image quality of Concept Pro range of IP camera

· Deep AI Analytics with the AI Bridge: Our AI Bridge is now fully integrated to Nx. Object classification and full suite of metadata are passed directly into the VMS as actionable events, allowing for near-instant forensic searching and automated alerts.

· Thermal Intelligence: Our thermal cameras are now deeply integrated. Thermal triggers and temperature threshold events are delivered natively to the Nx platform, ensuring critical alerts are never missed and can be managed within the standard VMS workflow

· A Professional VMS for Concept Pro Recorders: Our full suite of recorders is undergoing deep integration with Nx Witness. This provides a high-end, professional VMS solution that utilises Concept Pro recording hardware as the backbone, offering a more sensible and cost-effective way to deploy VMS software.

Concept Pro Recorder Integration

The most significant commercial benefit for our partners and end users is the integration of the suite of Concept Pro recorders

By utilising the recorder for storage and processing, we have removed the traditional requirement for expensive, high-specification servers on each site. This provides a lower-cost route to a professional VMS. This also provides a cost effective and clear upgrade path for existing estates that are looking to modernise and expand capabilities

1. Modernising Existing sites

For sites currently running Concept Pro recorders, the transition to a modern VMS is now clear and cost-effective:

· Utilise existing equipment & infrastructure: There is no need to redo the installation or rip out functional kit. Your existing Concept Pro recorders remain in situ, acting as the storage for the VMS deployment

· No Server Requirement: Eliminate the need to purchase, rack, and maintain expensive Windows or Linux servers. The NVR handles the heavy lifting.

· Seamless Migration: Move your customers to a market-leading UI without the need for a high-CAPEX hardware overhaul or extensive site downtime.

2. Cost Effective VMS Deployment

For new installations, using a Concept Pro NVR for storage and video processing provides a enterprise-grade experience at a lower cost as servers are not required on each site:

· NVR hardware with VMS software: Combine the robust and familiar nature of an NVR with the world-class Nx interface to manage multiple sites and large estates

· Significant Cost Savings: By removing dedicated servers, you reduce initial project costs and minimise complexity
