CathexisVision - ICX-AlphaCom integration

Introduction

The interface between ICX-AlphaCom and CathexisVision VMS is available from Cathexis, and uses an IP connection and the VS-SDK, where all event data is sent through to CathexisVision VMS from ICX-AlpaCom.

The main functionality of the integration:

• On initialization the ICX-AlphaCom events received by CathexisVision include site hardware information.
• An integration database is configured in CathexisVision in which all event information is recorded. This can be search for specific events based on filters as required.
• During operation video from cameras associated with the relevant event hardware can be recorded and viewed live and system events can be triggered in CathexisVision based on the intercom activity.
• Audio communication (send/receive) is not available through the integration, so only the intercom event details are recorded.

Compatability

• CathexisVision 2020.4 and later.
• Windows 10: 64-bit and later, Win Server 2008 R2 and later.
• AlphaCom software version 13.1.3.5 and later.

The integration requires licenses in addition to the standard CathexisVision system licenses.
