Traditional video cameras offer valuable footage for reviewing incidents after they happen. However, the real challenge in security is identifying and responding to threats in real time. That’s where advanced video monitoring steps in, offering around-the-clock protection and actionable alerts, without relying solely on human operators.

Smarter Surveillance with Less Labor

While 24/7 video surveillance and verification typically require a team of monitoring professionals managing multiple software platforms, today’s innovations are making that process more efficient. Now, with a single device, security systems can analyze and react to events instantly, turning passive video surveillance into active protection.

A major advancement in this space is AlarmVision®, a cutting-edge detection technology that seamlessly integrates video analytics with intrusion panels. This integration allows cameras and panels to communicate directly, ensuring that both the monitoring center and end users receive comprehensive alerts when suspicious activity occurs.

Turning Standard Cameras into Intelligent Sensors

With the help of DMP’s XV Gateway, existing IP cameras become intelligent motion detectors. Introduced in 2023, the XV-24 model was the first to feature AlarmVision, and now the product line has expanded to include the XV-60 and XV-96, offering solutions for both standard and more advanced network environments. These models support higher megapixel resolutions, offer more storage, and feature Dual NIC for flexible networking.

Cutting Down on False Alarms

Unlike conventional motion sensors that often trigger unnecessary alerts, video analytics can determine what’s actually causing movement. This approach significantly reduces false alarms, which means fewer unnecessary dispatches and fines. Cameras equipped with AlarmVision can differentiate between people, animals, or vehicles, ensuring that only relevant events trigger alerts.

This smarter detection also means fewer false notifications to the end user. Instead of being overwhelmed by constant alerts, customers receive precise updates only when it matters. This helps ensure the system remains active and useful, rather than becoming an annoyance.

Upgrade Without Overhaul

One of AlarmVision’s greatest strengths is its compatibility. Existing XR Series panels and standard ONVIF cameras can be upgraded easily—no need for a complete system overhaul. This makes it a cost-effective way to enhance current installations with modern analytics and video verification capabilities.

The XV-60 and XV-96 even allow dual network connections. For example, if a customer’s surveillance operates on a private network, you can still connect to the control panel via a separate network, making system integration smooth and efficient.

Another strategy includes cross-zoning cameras with traditional motion detectors. If one triggers without the other, the system can intelligently ignore the alert—another step toward eliminating false positives and enhancing service quality.

Simple Setup, Powerful Results

Installation is quick and intuitive using Dealer Admin—the same management tool already familiar to DMP partners. Installers can define up to four activity zones per camera, customize them by object type (person, vehicle, animal), and assign schedules. Each zone can operate on a different schedule, maximizing efficiency and flexibility.

These zones can trigger alarms, lights, sirens, and other responses depending on the panel’s arming status. Notifications are only sent when the system is armed, helping to avoid unnecessary disruptions. Event clips are automatically included with alerts, making verification fast and easy for both users and monitoring centers.

Even if the internet goes down, local network communication ensures the system continues to function reliably.

Smarter Security, Right Now

AlarmVision redefines how video fits into modern security camera systems. It gives standard IP cameras powerful, proactive capabilities that can detect, analyze, and trigger responses in real time. Whether you’re upgrading an existing system or installing new cameras, XV Gateways with AlarmVision are a game-changing addition to any security setup—bringing you real awareness, in real time, for real peace of mind.
