Ethiris Video Management Software

Kentima VMS Video Management Software

The flexibility and unique scalability of Ethiris make it possible to create everything from smaller systems to large and advanced applications with extremely high functionality.

Ethiris consists of many different components that can be combined connected with one another to achieve maximum flexibility, functionality and performance in a facility. All the components are centrally configured with the joint administration tool, Ethiris Admin. Ethiris is a scalable system, which means that, when necessary, the capacity of the installation can expand by additing licenses and new Ethiris components. Since Ethiris is component-based, the system can be distributed over several computers, thus optimizing the performance of the system.
The Basis of Ethiris
As many as many different Ethiris components can be combined to form a system. The basic system entails three. Here is a very brief account of these three components:

  • Ethiris Server handles everything that occurs automatically such as communication with cameras, recording, motion detection, alarm functionality and communication with other systems. Ethiris Server starts automatically and runs in the background continuously serving the operative system. Up to 250 cameras can be connected to a server, depending on the license level.
     
  • Ethiris Admin configures and starts up the installation. The installation engineer can easily configure the desired features for the installation in question. Configuration is logically divided into two parts, Ethiris Server and Ethiris Client. With Ethiris Admin an entire installation using several computers can be easily configured from a single work station.
     
  • Ethiris Client has a modern interface with smart functions that help the operator to establish efficient surveillance. The client mainly includes functions for displaying live- and recorded video, as well as alarm and event management.
Open Platform
Ethiris is an open platform with support for ONVIF and several different protocols from leading camera manufacturers. Support for new cameras and video encoders is constantly being expanded. 
Powerful and Flexible
In Ethiris a wide range of features for creating functional, powerful and user-friendly systems is included. Effective management of events, smart search functions, an integrated script function and the flexible structure provide the installer and user with intelligent surveillance. 
User-Friendly System
Ethiris is easy to use and configuration is made quickly with the help of an integrated wizard. It only takes a few minutes to install and configure the basic functionality for a mid-size system.
Integration with Other Systems
Because of Ethiris´ capability to communicate via OPC with a large number of systems within security, automation and other application areas, it is a future-safe investment. A total security platform can also be created by integrating Ethiris with WideQuick PSIM from Kentima. 
Cost-Effective Surveillance
Ethiris has a simple licensing structure that permits the customer to choose desired function level and the number of cameras to be connected to the software. It is easy to upgrade the software and further expand it with more cameras. It’s also possible to add on to the system with five years of free updates, to ensure that you always have access to the latest version of Ethiris, to an in advanced, known price. It can be of importance to keep an updated system to be able to take part of performance enhancments, support for new operating systems, new functionality, uptdated support for integration with various systems etc. 
Wide Application Areas
Ethiris is general software for video surveillance and is used in a wide variety of applications around the world. Adaptable functions and the component-based structure enable the installer to optimise functionality for the specific application area.
Multi-Monitor Support and Remote Control
Each Ethiris Client has support for up to eight monitors. Because several clients can be run at the same time on different computers, video can be shown in the control room from an unlimited number of cameras. All clients can be connected to all Ethiris Servers in the facility. The client can be remotely controlled.
Alarms and Events
Ethiris includes powerful functions for handling alarms and events. Custom alarms and events can be defined quickly. A smart function is that events can be associated with cameras to quickly find the recorded video for a specific event.
Fast Search of Recorded Video
The timelines in Ethiris provide a quick graphical overview of recorded video. The timelines include several features that facilitate search of recorded video. It is
also possible to zoom graphically by selecting a desired time interval.
Instant replay
Via Instant replay, the operator gets several opportunities to view what happened in front of the cameras a little while ago.
Teamviewer Quicksupport
Problems may occur in a facility, and not always are they easy to solve for the individual on site. It’s then reassuring to know, that the Teamviewer Quicksupport is integrated in Ethiris Admin and Ethiris Client. As long as the computer has internet connection and your company is a partner to Kentima, just click the Quicksupport under the help menu and then contact Kentima´s support, and you’ll get quick and professional help.
