Clustering multiple PSIM Routers provides redundancy and the flexibility to manage thousands of source devices such as DVRs, NVRs, IP cameras and encoders, access control, video analytics and other sensors.
The PSIM Router handles all of the following:
- Manage connections and capture video and data
- Provides extensive WAN resource management
- Captures video from a wide range of video source devices including the DynaView VMS, Axis Network Cameras, Integral DVRs and others
- Uses Intelligent Transcoding and Video Scaling (“ITVS”) to deliver video in a standard format for local re-transmission
PSIM Integration Framework
The PSIM Integration Framework allows interoperability with disparate third party applications. Our single video connection technology can be extended to currently unsupported video sources. The preferred method of data connection is XML packaged event or status data over HTTP or TCP connections. A flexible parser and stored routing rules direct this data for display and action in connected clients.
Current integration targets include Pelco/Integral DVRs, visual and IR analytic cameras, surface search radar, Doppler radar, AIS ship identification, DSC VHF radio position location, and public service radio interoperability The PSIM Integration Framework allows combination of multiple DynaView VMSs into a single system along with other devices facilitating multiple agency interactions. Using this framework, diverse 3rd party systems have already been integrated.
Radar System Integration
Radar systems (both conventional surface-search and Doppler are an excellent adjunct to the PSIM system. In general these systems produce raw video displays that are very useful to trained operator but not idea for more generally trained users or automatic operation. Some radar systems include software applications that derive target data from this raw video. The DynaView PSIM can capture raw video from many makes of radar systems and display this video in the same manner as video.
When tracking data is derived from the raw video, this is displayed as moving icons plotted directly over the base map. This data is generally transmitted in the form of XML chunks and generally includes target SOG, COG, and sizing. When this data is plotted, much of the ambiguity and complexity of the raw radar video may be hidden and just the target tracking is displayed on the COP.
AIS and Other Radio-Based Services
Radar is often associated with maritime environments and those often include radios that can deliver AIS (automatic identification ships) and DSC (digital selective calling) as data feeds. These are plotted icons on the base map with extended data available by clicking the icon.
Certain radar systems permit the fusion of AIS and radar tracking data with coordination of the data from each and alarms when significant difference are detected. These alarms are presented on the COP as distilled advise for the operators.
Radio Communications
Radio Consoles can be activated on the Common Operating Picture. Each radio console can monitor and transmit through up to 5 different base stations. The situation commander has the option to monitor any combination of radios as well as the capability to transmit on any combination from just one to all five simultaneously. The “Transmit All” button enables all agencies to be alerted to a potential danger with click and one immediate broadcast from the situation commander.
Latest generation radios networks such as Motorola MotoTRBOTM can be queried for GIS based locations of all connected mobile units and these automatically plotted on the base map of any view.
Alternative Energy and Solar Power
Remote sensors and wireless radios often require alternative energy sources. The DynaView PSIM can include the means to manage alternative power generation facilities such as solar and wind mini-plants to assure proper operation and facilitate efficient maintenance.
