Modern security systems are becoming increasingly complex, while user demands continue to grow. The release of SmartCenter version 2.1.4 opens up new horizons in the world of video surveillance: it offers an intelligent, scalable, and cost-effective platform that combines the latest technologies with user-friendly operation.
SmartCenter 2.1.2 and 2.1.3 are proven, well-structured systems that are ideal not only for small and medium-sized surveillance installations but also for environments operating thousands of cameras. With SmartCenter 2.1.4, however, Techson introduces a new-generation video management platform capable of handling up to 30,000 channels, while delivering advanced functions such as real-time face and license plate recognition, heat map–based people counting, intelligent parking management, a fully customizable live-data dashboard, and POS data integration.
Surveillance systems with 30–40 cameras are still often operated in a decentralized manner, using individual NVRs with local access. For larger installations — such as city surveillance systems, industrial facilities, logistics hubs or shopping centers — centralized management is essential.
SmartCenter 2.1.4 enables cameras across multiple sites to be managed from a single unified platform, simplifying daily operation while significantly enhancing system-level security and oversight. Thanks to its client–server architecture, network and NVR load is reduced by performing data processing centrally. This results in faster response times and greatly simplifies maintenance: updates, configuration changes and troubleshooting can all be handled from one central interface.
Beyond a refined user interface and updated design, SmartCenter 2.1.4 introduces a wide range of new and enhanced capabilities. It is no longer just video management software, but a comprehensive intelligent data processing platform, offering the following key features:
Face recognition: Real-time alerts, access control support, statistical analysis, and simultaneous processing across multiple recorders and locations
Parking management: LED display support, RS485 interface, overstay monitoring, free-space registration, entrance and exit control with up to 16 cameras, and barrier integration
People counting: Heat maps, traffic flow analysis, entry statistics, and real-time occupancy tracking
TV wall control: Automatic view switching, static and pop-up alarm windows, multi-screen support, freely resizable layouts and layered window management
Maintenance tools: Detailed system logs, configuration export/import and continuous system status monitoring
Event handling: Enhanced event management with customizable action plans (SOPs) linked directly to events
The redesigned Data Dashboard is particularly valuable, allowing users to monitor live camera feeds, face recognition statistics, temperature data, traffic flow and parking availability through fully customizable widgets — all displayed on a single screen.
In addition to the SmartCenter 2.1.4 Standard edition, a free LITE version is also available. It is ideal for home users and small businesses, while also providing an excellent opportunity to explore the platform’s core capabilities. The LITE version includes basic analytics modules, the Data Dashboard, web client access and selected TV wall functions, enabling users to evaluate system performance and functionality in real-world scenarios before scaling up.
Compared to comparable solutions on the market, SmartCenter 2.1.4 Standard is available at significantly more competitive license prices. This makes it an attractive choice for larger systems where scalability and cost-efficiency are critical — without sacrificing advanced functionality. The platform is further supported by immediate technical assistance, regular professional training and expert consultation, ensuring users receive full support throughout installation, commissioning and daily operation.
SmartCenter 2.1.4 Standard is a modern, intelligent video management system designed to meet today’s security technology requirements. With its centralized architecture, real-time data processing, customizable dashboard and outstanding scalability, it provides an ideal foundation for organizations where efficiency, reliability and cost-effectiveness are equally important. Whether deploying a 30-camera system or managing tens of thousands of channels, SmartCenter 2.1.4 delivers a future-ready solution for professional video surveillance.
