Our Product Suite
Aralia's cutting-edge intelligent surveillance system comprises three key components working in perfect harmony: ilex, iberis, and aster. This powerful trio forms a comprehensive security solution that revolutionises the way organisations manage and utilise video data.
Together, these systems seamlessly collaborate to identify, catalogue, and conduct historical searches on vast volumes of video data with unprecedented efficiency. This integration allows for swift incident response, proactive threat prevention, and in-depth post-event analysis.
Explore below to discover how each component of our surveillance suite can enhance your security infrastructure and provide unparalleled peace of mind.
ILEX
The first part of a complete three-part software suite, ilex provides all the functions of video surveillance. This includes analytics, recording, viewing and rapid historical search. It is an advanced, intelligent and scalable video surveillance system, which can integrate with both existing CCTV infrastructures and the latest digital systems.
ilex sends video data to a distributed relational database, incorporating real-time cataloguing within video picture, automatic reporting of alarms and rapid SQL-based querying of the entire stored video data. All configuration and video data, including analytic metadata, are stored in the relational databases.
Our innovative approach permits ilex to use the querying and data processing capabilities of a large-scale SQL database. Pioneered by Aralia, this approach gives ilex a clear advantage over competing systems.
IBERIS
The second part of Aralia’s complete software solution, iberis is a centralised, fault-tolerant database that manages all user configurations and system policies.
iberis manages the security, alarm distribution, configuration and upgrade of large systems and can be configured to respond automatically to alarm conditions raised from the ilex video servers without operator intervention. iberis can act as an interface to existing C2 systems or function as a control room management system in its own right.
In addition to surveillance tasks, iberis can also be used to control and integrate other aspects of the infrastructure, such as access control, chemical detection system, tracking devices, facial recognition and licence plate readers.
ASTER
The third part of Aralia’s three-part software suite, aster performs historical analysis of the analytic metadata stored in the ilex database. aster incorporates all the features found in Aralia’s ilex video cataloguing engine, allowing the operator to quickly and easily search for relevant video data according to definable video features.
All captured data remains of evidential quality, maintaining a full audit trail of all operator actions. aster is designed to capture data from a wide range of sensors and store the data in native format within a relational database.
aster has a full set of forensic tools for preparing cases, including a built-in report generation system that can be used to monitor the effectiveness of the surveillance system. Additionally, aster can identify key characteristics of an object which can then be used to create a template to recognize other objects with matching specifications.
Case Study
Maryland Transit Administration
The Maryland Transit Administration Police is the law enforcement entity for the state’s transit systems, which include Buses, Light Rail, Subway, Commuter Bus, Paratransit and MARC Systems. The mission of the Maryland Transit Administration Police Force is to professionally enforce the law and to protect its transit community, employees and facilities with dignity and respect.
In aid of this mission, the MTA has deployed its Homeland Security Surveillance System. Aralia Systems has been integral in the system’s implementation. Aralia’s state of the art analytic software has given MTA Police the ability to accomplish its mission in the areas of detection, prevention, investigation and prosecution of crime and incidents within our jurisdiction.
“The Aralia software is very user friendly and easy to use. Case in point we have light duty officers being assigned to our Technical Services Division regularly and we are usually able to get them fully trained in a single 8 hour shift. We are able to provide officers with real time suspect information. This technology allowed us to monitor incidents and effectively deploy resources as well as assist allied agencies during the recent civil unrest in the Baltimore area. ”
