ipConfigure announces Orchid, a revolutionary IP video management software (VMS) platform which runs on multiple operating systems and is universally accessible through an immersive web browser interface. Delivering an end-to-end installation and configuration time of less than 5-minutes, Orchid redefines simplicity for the surveillance industry.

Orchid is accessible.
Orchid leverages an elegant cross-platform architecture that removes operating system dependencies. An interactive multi-touch user interface allows operators to control and manage surveillance cameras from web browsers on a variety of platforms including Windows, Linux, OS X, iOS, and Android.

Orchid is adaptive.
Orchid is the first VMS to install and operate directly on a broad base of both traditional and embedded devices, including servers, cameras, and network-attached storage. With native support for ONVIF Profile S, Orchid supports a growing list of 2,500 IP-cameras and encoders, removing the need for manufacturer-specific driver support. With this widely adopted industry standard, Orchid offers instant access to the cameras of tomorrow.

Orchid is secure.
Orchid is secure. Orchid TLS/SSL encryption delivers secure video transmission from cameras to Orchid devices, and from Orchid devices to users. Ensuring the integrity of video on both open and closed networks, Orchid offers an uncompromising architecture for data security.

Orchid is freedom.
Orchid liberates decision-makers from vendor lock-in by providing the ultimate flexibility in selecting and changing cameras, operating systems, and storage solutions. With a user interface built from the ground up using our open, RESTful API, ipConfigure partners have the power to extend and adapt Orchid’s entire feature set to third-party applications.

“Orchid is a pioneering and imaginative product that is easily three years ahead of any other VMS,” said Christopher Uiterwyk, ipConfigure’s CEO. “After a decade of observing the over-complication of IP video surveillance, ipConfigure reinvents the VMS with Orchid.”

Orchid for small and medium businesses (SMB) will be released worldwide in June 2014 with an MSRP of 60 USD per camera.[…]
