Chapter 1: Introduction
The following chapters contain information regarding Digital Video. B.A.S.I.S.
Video delivers advanced data mining and investigative capabilities, whether it is
implemented as a standalone digital video management system, or as a
seamlessly integrated component of your access control solution.
Using B.A.S.I.S. Video, digital video clips can be linked in real time to alarms
associated with them. Cameras can be linked to specific hardware devices to
create an association in the B.A.S.I.S. database. If an alarm or an event occurs at
a given device, the video will be recorded by the associated camera(s). Pre- and
post-roll time periods can be configured for every alarm or event in the system.
Comprehensive traces, queries and reports can be run to assist in an investigation.
Warning
Do NOT install any anti-virus software on your Lenel digital video recorder!
Doing so will void your warranty.
