Tridium Expands the Niagara Framework with New Video Integration Application.

Tridium, Inc today announced a significant expansion to its NiagaraAX Framework® building integration platform with the addition of Niagara Video. Niagara Video is the next step in providing a comprehensive intelligent building solution that integrates all the common building functions-environmental control, intrusion detection, access control, lighting and energy management with video.

Niagara Video provides seamless integration between today’s building applications and digital video recorders, IP cameras, network video recorders, and video management solutions. Built on the Niagara Framework, Niagara Video can integrate with other security and video products to provide a complete building automation, card access and video monitoring system or it can be used as a stand alone system providing a video window that identifies an incident and notifies the proper personnel who can manage the response from anywhere. Niagara Video works with local and remote buildings equally as well.

Niagara Video can be combined with other NiagaraAX building applications to deliver a unified, intelligent facility-wide management system that is easy to use, easy to understand and easy to commission.

“With complete interoperability between video, access control, lighting, HVAC, energy management, and building automation systems, Niagara Video delivers true video integration built on a proven open framework infrastructure," said Marc Petock, vice president, marketing and communications for Tridium. "The Niagara Video platform offers significant cost-to-deploy and time-to-deploy benefits. The flexibility and scalability of the Niagara Video solution also provides users with visibility into an entire facility and all systems via a single browser-based user interface."

Niagara Video will be available for general release beginning February 15, 2009.
