Valerus 23.2: Powerful AI Analytics in a Cutting Edge VMS

Valerus, Vicon’s high-security VMS solution, offers a centralised end-to-end security ecosystem for any project at any scale. Valerus 23.2,  the winner of the Benchmark Innovation Awards 2023 in the Video Monitoring Solution category, also provides real-time alarm management, interactive maps, AI-based object search with Museum Search, and a system health monitoring dashboard.

Available as a one-time license fee, users know exactly what to expect and all the cash savings they’ll have from the optimised storage, bandwidth, and energy use are theirs to keep.

The Valerus platform enables users to manage their video access control, license plate recognition (LPR), vape detection, thermal imaging, and more.

Valerus 23.2’s sophisticated yet simple and flexible interface helps users monitor and investigate video, audio, alarms, access control, LPR, and system health without changing windows or systems.

It provides a centralised platform for all security intel, saving time and making it easier for those working on the frontline to get the information they need when they need it.

While Valerus is compatible with any Onvif-compatible devices, it excels as part of its end-to-end solution, with custom-built servers, cameras, and other devices that make it easy for end-users to get the best out of their system.

Advanced Analytics in Valerus 23.2

Valerus has always boasted a wealth of advanced analytics features, from object-based recording to motion sensing, line crossing, and loitering/crowd detection.

With the 23.2 release, Vicon has expanded on Valerus’ analytics repertoire by adding a powerful AI-based Museum Search that automatically filters out non-relevant video within the camera to save bandwidth and storage and radically speed up post-incident investigations.

Now, investigations are as simple as selecting the area of interest, telling Valerus what you’re looking for (people, vehicles, animals, etc.) and letting it find you the crucial moment in time in seconds.

A Highly Scalable Solution

Valerus 23.2 is highly scalable and can accommodate installations of all sizes, from small businesses to large enterprises. Vicon offers its VMS pre-loaded onto various server sizes that scale in performance to match your requirements – up to 1600TB servers that can manage 250 cameras each.

The addition of AI has made increased system efficiency straightforward – with options to record at a lower resolution when there is no object of interest in frame, Valerus makes it viable to operate with a far more slimline network and server setup without any loss of performance.

Valerus 23.2 also has advanced cybersecurity settings and server redundancy to protect video data. It allows controlling visibility for each user, with a detailed audit trail to see an official record of every user’s activity – an essential tool for sensitive sites like hospitals or government facilities.

How Valerus Integrates

Valerus excels at integration. As well as their access control and LPR solutions, Valerus can also seamlessly integrate with third-party Onvif-compatible cameras, mobile devices, and specific devices like HALO smart sensors (for vape, smoke, air quality, and sound abnormality detection) and thermal radar for unbeatable perimeter control.

The auto-discovery and configuration tools make it easy to detect and add devices with just a few clicks, and virtually no technical know-how is required.

Vicon releases maintenance updates and new feature updates for Valerus every few months. The company is also proactive about reaching out to its customers and helping them get the most out of their systems with free upgrades and 24/7 support.
