At Next Level we believe that when the components of a complete security system work together, the result is optimized business operations, enhanced situational awareness and faster response times. With the NLSS Security Platform, retailers not only get an advanced video management system, they gain the full benefit of the network with access control, intelligent analytics, multi-media HD video display capabilities and more.
Our browser-based system makes it easy to monitor multiple store locations from anywhere, including mobile device. Best of all, these components, normally purchased and operated separately in other security systems, are sold as a package, installed at once, and function over a single user interface.
Specific Benefits of the Next Level Solution for Retailers:
Fully Integrated Digital Video Management
The core of the NLSS Security Platform is the sophisticated digital video management system which features advanced display, reporting and exporting tools, intelligent video recording and archiving, scheduling, alarms, events, motion and more. Next Level’s video management system is completely unified with other key components such as access control and video analytics for enhanced situational awareness.
Mixed Media Public View Display
The NLSS HD Media Decoder takes public view displays to the next level by combining camera surveillance footage with advertising videos or digital signage. The NLSS HD Media Decoder can display up to 4 simultaneous streams of HD 1080p video content to a single monitor with 7.1 surround sound in a variety of video formats. Playback your latest commercials in stunning HD picture alongside video surveillance streams that let potential thieves know that their every move will be caught on camera.
VoIP and Remote Management
Remote management capabilities and specifically voice-over-IP offer greater mobility especially for multi-site facilities. Unmanned deliveries, for example, are possible with VoIP. Security operators can pull up the camera footage from the loading dock, talk to the delivery person through VoIP to an intercom or audio enabled camera, unlock the door to let the delivery person in and lock the door once the delivery is complete.
Access Control
Access Control is built into the NLSS Security Platform for a total end-to-end solution. IP door locks offer enhanced security and flexibility over traditional lock and key sets and can ultimately save retailers millions in re-keying costs. When replacing staff members, it is far easier to deactivate digital cards from a database than to replace keys and locks. Networked access control can identify break-ins faster and have the ability to record a timestamp event when a door lock has been tampered with. The NLSS Security Platform makes small-door count systems affordable.
Video Analytics
Video analytics is another great tool built into the NLSS Security Platform. Unlike other video management systems, Next Level’s analytics come at no additional cost. Below is a list of applications for video analytics functions:
- Face grabbing for identifying repeat offenders
- Suspicious behaviors outside the store or in the parking lot
- Entry and exit monitoring
- Alerts when specific expensive merchandise is removed
- People counting to determine staff levels or conversion rates
- Length of time customers spend at a given display
