AD Group
What you may know about Dedicated Micros already ?
Video specialists who created the first commercially viable video multiplexer
1984
First fully digital transmission and storage solutions – DVST – in 1991
Evolved into the worlds biggest selling desktop digital recorder line
Worldwide reputation, No1 DVR manufacturer
Dedicated Micros only sells it's products through Distribution....?
What you may not know about Dedicated Micros?
DM has been selling high end server technology for over 10 years into UK, EU and Australasia
Full offering including cameras, IP cameras and real time D1 recording and management
Design, develop and own all hardware and software technology including the DSP
The same core architecture sits at the heart of all AD Group systems, including those certified for Aerospace applications
Why have Dedicated Micros CCTV systems proliferated?
UK is the CCTV Capital of the World Terrorist threats endemic e.g. IRA bomb attacks since 70's Landmark case for Town Centre CCTV, Jamie Bulger in the 90's Public acceptance is high despite over 4.5 million cameras Over 1000 DM systems within the square mile of London alone Landmark case for CCTV, London bombings, 1000's of hours of footage
analysed in 2007 Police issued images to the media, helping to prevent a second attack
Where and how we operate...Global footprint
Part of AD Group, UK Corporate Headquarters Offices worldwide: UK, Europe, USA, Middle East, Asia and Australia 550 employees around the world In-house manufacturing facilities: Malta, UK, USA In-house hardware and software development facilities: Group HQ In-house DSP development: Boston
Our Mission
Our Mission
In the early '90's our mission statement for our ISO 9001 approval stands to this day :
“Use maximum innovation to provide products and services which meet or
exceed our user expectations and provide them with exceptional ROI”
How do we create ROI for our users?
Our Own Silicon
Our own ChipWrights DSP core
Programmable architecture
Provides key building blocks for all products
Puts Dedicated Micros in control, not restricted to the latest fixed codec
architecture, but also allowing additional flexible processing, such as
Analytics and Image Processing.
IP / Analogue Hybrid Solutions
Much of the claimed ROI for solely IP based systems has not been
delivered.
IP only systems can require expensive network upgrade
Current Economic forces may not allow for wholesale replacement of large
legacy population of analogue cameras and control equipment
A hybrid model which allows the user to grow their
systems seamlessly, is more cost effective, and
deliverable within reduced available budgets.
Distributed Servers
Distributed server architecture capability Remove mandatory need for a costly high speed backbone Pure IP / NVR solutions are totally network dependent and reliant Solutions which operate over a wide geographical area are only as strong as
the weakest link Distributed allows fail safe continuous recording with on-demand access to
all parts of the system
Legacy Interface
Fulfils the requirement to interface with existing analogue matrix and other systems
Either analogue or IP products from any manufacturer can be seamlessly integrated
Utilises the video encoding core capability for the ChipWrights DSP
Single Uniform GUI Common operation paradigms across all control devices, reducing training
costs and cost of ownership, enables all operators to operate in any facet of the system
Embedded console is a standard component of all new high end systems, and creates a built-in virtual matrix
PC, Virtual matrix client & Control Centre software Also a hand held, wireless, remote client on PDA or Phone Complete interoperability with NetVu Connected compatibility between fixed,
transportation and even airborne solutions
Video Analytics
Dedicated Micros established the principle of embedded Analytics in the late 80's when we built VMD into our early multiplexer products
'Near Side' add on Analytic servers increase cost of ownership and ongoing support New DM Analytics Capable products provide embedded processing 'off the shelf',
rather than additional costly, poorly integrated near side servers DM introduces a concept of Analytic Components, such as Object Left and
Tripwire, which can be combined to provide tailored Analytic Solutions, enabled by the revolutionary PowerScript
AD Group high performance analytics spans many years, in particular with Video Smoke and Flame detection from D-Tec.
Fish eye / immersive vision
Immersive vision capability and Electronic PTZ in all devices because of the ChipWrights DSP
Just add the appropriate lens to a high definition IP Camera, or even analogue camera
Panamorphic images are recorded like other images The embedded display architecture will automatically de-warp the images on
the fly No need for disparate products which are not integrated, or at extra cost
Emergency Messaging and Media Display
Exciting new capability to create Media and Emergency Messaging solutions, for little or no extra cost
Maximum return on investment from NetVu Connected architecture Even revenue generation opportunities through media sales Rules and Geo data based architecture fulfils the needs of any defined
Disaster Management plan, created using industry standard web authoring tools
Works seamlessly delivering rich media content across all NetVu Connected Static or Mobile Devices, even over minimal resilient links
Is Dedicated Micros just the leading desktop DVR provider available through distribution?
Or are we your future partner for any scale of integrated
solution?
