Key features…
Virtual Matrix
i-comply’s modular The video stream, the configuration of workstation monitors, and the
approach means customers display of individual media wall components are entirely customisable,
can select just the products allowing operators to select different configurations for different
and services they need for scenarios, for example:
their environment. Special Events
During Alarm Activation
Day/Night Time Periods
Individual streams can be configured in response to event driven
requirements allowing for example, a camera stream to be displayed
at 6fps during a default roaming tour, and then rising to 25fps during
an event or whilst under manual operator control.
V-TAS Pro can display multiple independent streamed video sources
simultaneously, with each source being generated by different
manufacturer’s hardware.
Workstation Environment
The information provided by V-TAS on the operator workstations can
be displayed on a single monitor or across a two or three monitor
configuration.
When using a three monitor layout the traditional ‘spot monitor’ image
is displayed on the middle screen, with the adjacent screens displaying

2. CCTV Command & Control
Audit Trail
The V-TAS Pro software has a very comprehensive evidential audit
trail. The V-TAS server controls all incoming and outgoing command
functions which are stored within an MS SQL database and used to
create a thorough reporting tool and broad audit trail.
The audit trail can be configured to capture specific detail such as:
Media Movement History
Requests to View Footage
Operator Incident Involvement
Cameras Used to Follow an Incident
Start/End Positions of a PTZ Camera
Access Rights
Access rights can be configured for various system users within a
hierarchical structure to allow for full, limited, or customised access to
the V-TAS Pro operational, administration, and reporting functionalities.
The V-TAS Pro software has been designed to allow multiple operators
to assign their ‘User’ I.D. to a single ‘Incident Log’ – this functionality
removes the necessity to duplicate ‘Incident Logs’ where on occasion
more than one operator has been involved in tracking an incident.
Retrieval & Replay
V-TAS Pro allows search and retrieval of CCTV footage from many
different manufacturer sources and allows the operator to view that
footage on their own workstation, or display and view the playback
footage on a large video wall; all whilst in real time continuing to
display images of a live incident.
Encrypted evidential footage can subsequently be produced quickly and
efficiently from the system, together with an incident report containing
all relevant information.
Audio
V-TAS Pro incorporates a two-way audio radio facility to allow the
operator to efficiently communicate with other staff, personnel, and
members of the public where required.
