Video surveillance solutions developer ioIMAGE releases API to provide seamless security camera systems integration

HERZLIYA, ISRAEL − August 29, 2005 – ioIMAGE (www.ioimage.com), specializing in developing video surveillance solutions for the homeland security industry, has announced today the release of its Application Programming Interface (API) to be used for the development of customer-specific applications based on its TotalTrack® video motion detection system. The API allows system integrators to seamlessly integrate TotalTrack® TRK units into existing command & control centers as well as to enhance the feature-set of existing and future systems.

TotalTrack® is the world’s most advanced video motion detection system for detecting and tracking of security threats, intrusion detection, illegal car parking detection, theft detection, abandoned objects and object removal detection. The TotalTrack system, based on a powerful Video Digital Signal Processor (DSP), is easily and seamlessly integrated with any existing stationary camera, transforming it into a real-time proactive device able to detect and alert on threats. TotalTrack can also be plugged to any Pan/Tilt/Zoom camera and automatically track intruders for wide-areas and at great distances without human intervention.

“Among ioIMAGE main objectives when developing the TotalTrack® system was to offer a suite of development tools to make it easier to integrate TRK units’ built-in VTD™ (Video Threat Detection) technology for adding functionality to existing command and control centers and applications”, said Roni Kass, ioIMAGE CEO. “With this API release we expect to broaden the market for our partners and meet the needs of current and future customer.”.

The TRK-API allows easy interface and extensive control of TRK units over IP networks. Programmers can simultaneously receive video, audio, and security events data from one or more TRK Units. This allows software developers to synchronize inputs among different security systems. The information can be distributed to meet security requirements, whether to a single location or multiple dispersed locations. The API is built as a C++ interface compliant with industry standards and provides a convenient control suite for software developers.

Israeli Parliament (the Knesset), one of the ten most secured sites in the world, has made TotalTrack a key component of their security system, and has been successfully using these features for always vigilant unrelenting security. In addition to this, ioIMAGE received certification from the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), one of the world leading organizations in term of implementation of anti-terrorism protection technology and tactics. TotalTrack has proven to be successful in protecting the US Department of Energy (DOE) Sandia Labs, nuclear power plants and chemical plants in United States.
