Mobile surveillance solutions provider, Seon Design Inc., is releasing a new version of its video data management software solution, vMax Commander. vMax Commander is the only video and telematics management tool a fleet manager needs to administer operations of any size. It works effectively regardless of the number of buses or properties involved, or their locations.

Seon’s vMax Commander solution provides centralized mobile surveillance data management, which offers unparalleled convenience when combined with Seon’s industrial wireless technology. Automated wireless downloading gives managers instant access to video events, monitor multiple vehicles, and receive alarmed notifications. A transportation authority can administer the video for its entire fleet with one software interface, benefit from the convenience of remote configuration, and view video data live over a Web-based or GPRS network.

 

“There is no need to search for a vehicle, and no more running back and forth to manually pull a hard drive,” says Jordan Shishmanov, Senior Product Manager. “Wireless technology eliminates all of that. If there is an issue, you can access the information you need right from your central office.”

 

New vMax Commander features include automated system-wide health monitoring, an invaluable preventive maintenance tool known as Health-Check. Health-Check alerts the system administrator if any part of the system isn’t functioning.

 

“The system can be programmed to report video loss and systems related problems automatically,” says Shishmanov.

 

“If a bus is not connected to the network for a period of time, operations will know. Automatic health monitoring reduces liability by minimizing equipment downtime and ensuring that the data required is available.”
