AMAG Plugin for Wisenet WAVE VMS gives security professionals more options for choosing the right technology for the right application.
The New AMAG Plugin for Wisenet WAVE VMS from Legacy 'ASTORS' Awards Champion Hanwha Vision America, gives security professionals more options for choosing the right technology for the right application.

Hanwha Vision America, the 2022 Platinum ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security Award Winner,  for Best Thermal, Infrared Camera Solution, has integrated its Wisenet WAVE video management system with AMAG Technology’s Symmetry Access Control software, to deliver greater system choice and flexibility for customers, especially in AMAG’s key markets including data centers, finance, banking, commercial, healthcare, and education.

This new AMAG Integration Plugin for Wisenet WAVE VMS seamlessly allows the assignment of video cameras registered within Wisenet WAVE VMS to mapped resources within the Symmetry software ,such as access card readers, which can then be viewed in the Symmetry interface.

The plug-in allows viewing Wisenet WAVE VMS-generated events, live and recorded video, and system information through Symmetry Access Control.

“Often companies are tied to their access control technology only,” explained Matthew Mendler, Integration Manager at Hanwha Vision America.

“Through this integration with our WAVE VMS, AMAG and their customers can now also use WAVE VMS, delivering more options, and more flexibility to choose the right technology for specific applications.”

Through the AMAG Integration Plugin for Wisenet WAVE VMS, system operators can add camera analytics, alarm, and event triggers registered within a Wisenet WAVE VMS system.
