A true surveillance environment is designed to provide a real time collaborative
work experience for monitoring, response dispatching/co-ordination, access/flow
control, recording and overall systems control for 24/7 operations. Barco’s
iSURVEILLANCE solutions are tailored to optimally facilitate these functionalities and
make your surveillance environment more efficient for both small and large or
complex surveillance centers.
Barco’s iSURVEILLANCE is currently the most advanced all-in-one solution for managed
monitoring. It consists of a high-quality display with rear-screen projection, a graphic
controller, and Web-based operating software. ne projection module can display up
to 64 video or graphics windows simultaneously.
Two or more modules can be combined into compact surveillance systems or into a
huge display wall to monitor hundreds of cameras. iSURVEILLANCE acts as a single point
of control and includes advanced warning capabilities.
With iSURVEILLANCE, operators are no longer confined to a limited number of monitors.
They can now size and move a virtual monitor anywhere on the screen for
maximum viewing. No space is wasted for window or monitor borders. This enables
display of a higher number of video sources in the same amount of space and with
the same number of operators.

For all applications
The simultaneous display of images and data, and the flexible and user-
friendly control of these sources, has become increasingly important in
today’s surveillance centers.
In addition to displaying data
applications onto the display wall,
users want to be able to bring
traditional A/V sources onto the display
wall. This functionality in combination
with the data applications works
together seamlessly on Barco’s
iSURVEILLANCE solutions.
As advanced multiple software
platforms are increasingly used, Barco’s
iSURVEILLANCE solutions support other
applications across different networks
and operating systems (e.g. X-
windows, Microsoft Windows and
various other analog/digital inputs as
well as applications).
Barco offers a number of standard
iSURVEILLANCE solutions (e.g. 50" and 67"
modules with a Hydra controller) which
typically accommodate smaller
surveillance environments in both
transport and campus surveillance.
These standard solutions are highly
appreciated for their compactedness
and high-density video display
possibilities.
Barco’s customized iSURVEILLANCE
solutions are used for larger
surveillance environments and take
into account customer-specific
ergonomic, architectural, and
application requirements.
Barco’s iSURVEILLANCE is regarded as the
ideal solution as it leads to considerable
savings in space, weight and power
consumption.

iSURVEILLANCE’s design makes it a very
reliable system with a quality of service
you can count on 24 hours a day, 7
days a week.
The iSURVEILLANCE solutions are powered
by Barco's family of network controllers
- the Hydra, Eos, and Argus.
The Hydra controller has a hot-
swappable power supply; it operates
diskless and is typically suited for high-
density video applications.
The Eos and Argus controllers allow the
user to achieve full interactive wall
functionality.
The projection modules incorporate
lamps with a very long lifetime and are
replaced in less than a minute. Barco
has a range of dual-lamp projection
modules based on digital visualization
technologies (Poly-Silicon and DLPTM).
A built-in second lamp will make you
rely for 100% on the availability of your
display wall. Its software allows you to
run the lamp in hot or cold stand-by, it
keeps track of the 2 lamp life times
and detects lamp failure. Barco’s
iSURVEILLANCE is unique in that it offers
constant display quality even when
switching from one lamp to the other.
Moreover, Barco’s lamp leasing
program allows you to efficiently
control operational costs.
•Integrated solution, i.e. no quad
multiplexer, cabling…
•Designed for 24/7 operation
•Easy, cost-effective maintenance
•Front or rear access to projection unit
•Lamp replacement in less than a
minute
•Average lamp lifetime of 8000 hours

Business value
•High efficiency and reliability, less operational and
maintenance costs
•Exceptional functionality across all surveillance
applications
•Easy integration of alarm indicators and scenarios
•Unequalled flexibility allowing layout changes and
various input types
•Future-proof scalability and Digital igration Ready

iSURVEILLANCE can provide users with an
automatic and integrated platform to
process and display multiple relevant
signals for specific events or user
perspectives.
In addition, iSURVEILLANCE solutions also
support scenarios. A scenario is when
the display layout is changed in
response to the reception of an
automated alarm such as dry contacts
or software messages in order to bring
the relevant views to the attention of
the operators. The scenarios feature
allows management by exception.

Whether it be video or computer
graphical input, iSURVEILLANCE always
guarantees perfectly displayed, flicker-
free and steady images. The images are
displayed on a high-contrast black
screen for wide viewing angles.
The layout of the display wall can easily
be adapted from any authorized PC that
is linked to the LAN.
All the layouts are created, saved,
retrieved, and adapted by means of a
Java application running in a standard
Web-browser.
You configure and re-configure your
display wall according to your
requirements, without moving a
monitor. Select from the list of
available sources, add a clock and text
(e.g. source identifiers), drag and drop,
enlarge and reduce the windows until
the layout satisfies you, and publish it
on the display wall.
iSURVEILLANCE even allows control of
multiple networked graphical control
units from any PC linked to the LAN.
Daily operations can be simplified
through the use of a touch screen.
