Security installers have chosen Hanwha Vision’s SolidEDGE AI camera, an edge-based VMS recording solution, as the ‘Technological Innovation of the Year’ in publisher Professional Security Installer’s (PSI) 2024 Premier Awards.
The annual prestigious awards programme recognises the very best products and suppliers in the industry. Installers are invited to consider product features, benefits, ease of installation, and service when voting.
The SolidEDGE offering is a Solid State Drive-based AI camera – an ideal and innovative serverless VMS recording solution for businesses.
Highly efficient, robust and cost-effective, with in-built storage of 1TB or 2TB and an embedded Wisenet WAVE VMS server, SolidEDGE removes the need for an external server, significantly reducing energy consumption and total cost of ownership.
Additionally, the industrial-grade SSD offers enhanced cybersecurity as it removes the need to stream video on the network between the camera and the recording server or cloud service.
“We are immensely proud that our innovation has been recognised in this leading awards programme,” said Mr Jeff (Chae Won) Lee, Managing Director at Hanwha Vision Europe. “It means so much to us that the industry and security installers have highlighted SolidEDGE, as their knowledge of the market is unparalleled.”
“This recognition also shows the progress our industry is making when it comes to championing innovation – particularly when it helps to deliver more sustainable solutions,” he added.
The winners of this year’s awards were announced on 11 July by former snooker professional Steve Davis OBE, PSi publisher and Western Business Media director Mark Sennett, and former PSi Managing Director Mark Quittenton.
The award follows Hanwha Vision recently winning three other major awards for its smart parking solutions and AI-enabled video surveillance cameras. These include a GOVIES Government Security Award, the Wesco International Innovator of the Year award, as well as the iF (International Forum) Design Award.
