Having managed mission-critical video surveillance networks around the world,\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Senstar\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Symphony<\/span><\/span>\u2122 <\/span><\/span>has proven its value. However, as IT software enters obsolescence and cybersecurity becomes an increasing concern, it\u2019s time to upgrade.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Senstar\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Symphony 7 offers compelling reasons to upgrade and Senstar (formerly\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Aimetis<\/span><\/span>) can help ensure the process remains smooth and cost-effective.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Cybersecurity<\/h3>\n

Senstar\u00a0<\/span>Symphony 6 is no longer supported and additional licenses cannot be purchased. In addition, Microsoft has ended all support for Windows<\/span>\u00ae <\/span><\/span>7, making these systems a cybersecurity risk.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Obsolescent systems are vulnerable to malware, viruses, and cyberattacks. Upgrading to\u00a0<\/span>Senstar\u00a0<\/span>Symphony 7, along with a newer, actively maintained operating system provides organizations with the security, confidence, and technical backing required for video surveillance applications.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Use the Latest Cameras<\/h3>\n

Senstar\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Symphony 7 works with cameras from all major manufacturers and supports the latest industry standards, including ONVIF Profiles S and G. This means your organization can upgrade to manufacturer-supported cameras, including (but not limited to) current models from ACTi, Axis, Bosch, Canon, Dahua,\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Eneo<\/span><\/span>, FLIR, Hanwha, Hikvision, Honeywell, Pelco, Sony, and\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Vivotek<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

New Integration Opportunities<\/h3>\n

Senstar\u00a0<\/span>Symphony 7 enables organizations to streamline operations by integrating video with other security functions, including perimeter intrusion detection, alarm panels, and\u00a0<\/span>electronic\u00a0<\/span>access control from Advantech, Axis, Bosch, Gallagher, Johnson Controls, S2 Security, Siemens, and Senstar.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The\u00a0<\/span>Senstar\u00a0<\/span>Symphony client includes a new Alarm Console window that summarizes alarms from these integrated systems and links them to specific cameras and maps, while enhanced map\u00a0<\/span>capabilities\u00a0<\/span>can provide additional situational awareness.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
