Fully Configurable Camera Viewing Software
The View Station presents a fully
featured operator interface to a
network of video cameras. Operators
are provided camera access and
control regardless of location or size
of the video network.
The View Station features and tools
present an open platform with limitless
possibilities for integration of legacy
or emerging third party software and
hardware technologies. View Station
provides a scalable architecture
providing robust performance for
systems of any size.
Create any view you need
The format and content of a View Station display is fully configurable. Multiple views can be defined and
subsequently displayed based on system conditions or user requirements. Since views may be directed to specific
connected monitors, View Station may be used to build control room video walls. In addition to live and stored video,
a view may include any mix of the available screen elements and functions.
Available Screen Elements:
- PTZ controls
- Panoramas
- Configurable button controls
- Browser windows
- Tour controls
- Playback controls
- Camera lists
- Archived video directory
- Alarm log
- Text-messaging control
Group cameras for viewing in any way that suits the application!
The View Station puts no limitations on how
you manage your camera network. Include
cameras from multiple manufacturers.
Combine M-JPEG, and H.264.
Regardless of the size of your video network,
you decide which cameras to manage with a
given View Station. Group cameras any
way appropriate - by function, by type, by
location, etc.
Schedule-based Automation
The View Station can be the “Swiss Army Knife” of your surveillance system. It includes several tools and
mechanisms to integrate our video system with other system components. Since our system is IP-based, we can
monitor or control not only cameras, but any device or software component connected to the video network. If you
have a device currently installed that is not network-capable, our engineers can devise a strategy to accomplish this.
Scheduled Tours
Schedule-based automation; no operator intervention necessary
Control camera operations
Activate/Deactivate other security or facility devices
Create as many schedules as you need
Change operator views according to time of day or shift
IVC’s View Station provides a
comprehensive suite of capabilities to
automate your video monitoring system.
Event-based Automation
View Station’s Alarm Server is our alarm system integration tool. It can listen for multiple alarm message types
from a variety of devices including cameras. As the diagram illustrates below, users have the flexibility to
choose any number of standard and custom responses.
Supported Alarm Message Protocols
- TCP
- SMTP
- FTP
- Telnet
- MODBUS
- IPASCII

Operator-Initiated Operations
The View Station software provides the ability for
the user to create one or more button panels within
a view. Standard buttons or any graphic can be
dynamically positioned on a background image of
your choice. The panels could include buttons to:
- Issue commands to other devices or software on the network
- Move camera to a preset position
- Start or stop video recording
- Control camera scans
- Open new view
- Assign camera to live video window
