Hanwha Vision has released version 6.0 of its Wisenet WAVE video management system (VMS), giving security professionals greater control over configuring and managing their surveillance systems.

The company says that this latest version supports more intuitive user management capabilities to make scaling and customizing surveillance resources to the needs of individual operations easier than ever.

Key highlights

The key highlights of Hanwha Vision‘s WAVE VMS 6.0 include:

• Redesigned user management interface
• Enhanced Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) integration
• Upgraded calendars
• Camera linking via hotspot/teleport
• Ability to add temporary users and cloud-based email

Similar to previous WAVE VMS releases, all features are supported across the mobile, desktop and server versions of the platform using any operating system, as well as WAVE Sync, Hanwha Vision’s cloud-based service that allows users to remotely access, view, share and manage their WAVE VMS systems directly from a Web browser.

“Centralized, 24/7 transparent visibility”

Troy Wideman, Senior Product Manager, WAVE VMS & Recording Appliances, Hanwha Vision America commented: “Organizations need greater flexibility in how they configure and operate their surveillance system and that includes their choice of a VMS model.

“Whether they’re managing a handful of employees at one location, or hundreds across multiple sites, they need to have centralized, 24/7 transparent visibility into every aspect of their system’s health and status, from any platform, WAVE VMS 6.0 fits that bill perfectly,” concluded Wideman.
