NORTH CANTON, Ohio – End-users can now leverage the infrastructure of Diebold, Incorporated (NYSE: DBD) to safely and securely store video.

Diebold’s Site Sentry^® Remote Video Storage offers new options for storing surveillance video. Customers can determine the number of cameras from which they’ll pull video, how long the video will be stored, how much video will be stored, as well as image size and number of frames per second. Video is transferred to and stored by Diebold’s award-winning Event Monitoring Center (EMC).

Site Sentry Remote Video Storage is an ideal option for organizations that don’t have or don’t want to create the infrastructure to store surveillance video. It offers a migration path as new cameras – such as IP, hybrid and megapixel cameras – are added. The addition of these technologies is no longer limited by the ability to store video. Now, customers need only invest in the camera and can leverage Diebold’s hardware, software and services to do the rest.

“Diebold has been managing surveillance images for our customers since the days of film,” said Bradley J. Stephenson, vice president, Diebold Security division. “Today, we’re using IP and even cellular networks to enable the remote storage of video. And we’re doing that through our UL-listed, CSAA Five Diamond Event Monitoring Center. Customers can be confident in the expertise of our people and in the security of the facility where their critical video is stored.”

The Diebold solution can help organizations manage costs and staffing requirements by streamlining processes. By relying on Diebold’s remote video storage capabilities, customers can forego the capital investment that would otherwise be required to enable video storage and management. They can also eliminate the need to maintain database and systems analysis expertise on staff.

Site Sentry Remote Video Storage can be leveraged for a single camera up to a company’s entire camera inventory. It can also provide extra capacity when adding cameras to a network, or when planning for specialized cameras. Diebold’s flexible, robust infrastructure is based upon open architecture, and can support most cameras on the market today.

“With this approach, customers don’t necessarily have to replace technology,” said Jacky Grimm, director of security solutions, Diebold Security division. “They simply need to decide what they want to accomplish. It’s about making the equipment do what the customer wants, when they want, where they want. The customer has total control.”

The Diebold solution features browser-based, live viewing, enabling customers to review real-time images from cameras they have on the Diebold system. Video playback and video analytics offer options for using video to support investigations and deliver specific business intelligence. Site Sentry can even provide ongoing, real-time camera status. This capability helps ensure the continuity of the video network, confirming that cameras are working and delivering quality images.

“We can store and archive video any way the customer needs – one site or many, any location, any number of cameras,” Grimm said. “We have unlimited capacity. By partnering with Diebold for this managed service, customers get access to valuable technologies, but pay for only what they need.”
