Senstar Announces Start Of Transition Period To Bring Aimetis Under Senstar Brand

Senstar has announced the beginning of a transition period to bring Aimetis under the Senstar brand. Senstar, a provider of perimeter intrusion detection systems (PIDS), acquired Aimetis, a provider of video management systems (VMS) and analytics, in April 2016. Since then, the two companies have worked in parallel to continue to provide PIDS and VMS solutions. However, over the coming months, Senstar and Aimetis will become one company, resulting in reduced complexity, improved performance, and unified support.

Combining PIDS With VMS

“Bringing together the PIDS expertise of Senstar with the VMS and analytics knowledge of Aimetis enables us to offer an unrivaled range of innovative security solutions and world-class support,” said Senstar President Brian Rich. “Throughout the transition period we are committed to ensuring as little disruption as possible to our business. Our customers and partners can expect the same accessible, responsive and flexible sales and support they have always relied on, and to be well-informed regarding any changes that may affect them.”

The combination of PIDS and VMS addresses a growing trend in the security industry to reduce complexity by enabling customers and partners to source comprehensive security solutions from a single provider, resulting in reduced costs and greater accountability.

Network Manager Integration

Senstar is also pleased to introduce the integration of its Network Manager alarm reporting system and Symphony VMS (formerly Aimetis). Network Manager is a software gateway that allows communication with a wide array of Senstar sensors, including FlexZone®, FiberPatrol®, OmniTrax®, and UltraWave™. Symphony, the new benchmark for intelligent video management, is an ideal software solution for recording, monitoring and analyzing video from both single server installations and multi-server deployments.

The integration enables Symphony to receive the full range of alarm and status information from Senstar sensors via an IP connection. For each sensor alarm the full range of Symphony’s security responses can be initiated, including commanding camera actions and providing visual and audio alerts.
