Physical security is witnessing major changes that began over a decade ago and are continuing to gain momentum. DVRs have largely replaced tape-based VCRs for surveillance recording, and NVRs have begun to grow in the market. While DVRs retain about 70% market share today, the benefits of NVRs and IP technology overall is growing in acceptance among physical security practitioners.
By deploying an Intransa shared, external IP storage solution, physical security practitioners are able to add the power of IP while continuing to leverage their existing investment in analog technology. Best of all, new applications and devices leveraging IP can also make use of the Intransa IP storage, including video surveillance systems, access control, life safety, intrusion detection, physical security information management systems, video analytics, biometrics, and many more. This flexibility allows physical security practitioners to chose best of breed components and deliver world-class solutions on top of IP storage that continues to support many analog applications.
Intransa supports and promotes industry-leading organizations, including ASIS International and the Security Industry Association for the good of the entire industry, and our solutions reflect that commitment. We also believe in the power of integration, and have certified nearly 100 physical security and IT applications through our StorAlliance Technology Partner Labs for risk-free integration and deployment.
And with our unique Video Storage Administrator, we are the first IP storage vendor to enable our systems to be managed and deployed using physical security terminology, not that of the IT industry.
