S2 Security has launched the S2 Magic Monitor Version 4, designed to provide a unified security management user experience for access control, video surveillance, forensics, digital signage and live Internet feeds. Version 4 introduces new features that benefit security operations as well as employees and visitors, including third-party video management system support, audio support and advanced internet widgets.
Video management system support is now available for Milestone and Exacqvision in addition to S2 Net VR Series products. Version 4 also includes audio support for cameras, video clips and online digital content. Real-time media from Twitter and Everbridge and enhanced weather radar maps bring tailored situational awareness into a variety of environments, from security operations centres to public areas. Upon registration of the product, Version 4 enables integrators to monitor system health and control licensing and software updates online.
It is now possible to perform updates remotely, which provides a cost advantage for integrators and a service advantage for end users. Version 4 also introduces a Professional license option. S2 Magic Monitor Professional supports an unlimited number of S2 Net VR cameras as well as advanced weather and traffic widgets. All S2 Magic Monitor appliances now include Professional licenses. The Standard license is software only, supports up to 128 cameras and is available at no charge. Standard licenses can be easily upgraded at any time.
