What if the screen you use to control your building’s lighting and climate could also become part of its video surveillance system? This is not a vision of the future. With Adquio VisionCore, it is already possible.
Imagine walking into an office. On the wall, an elegant touchscreen lets you adjust the lighting, set the temperature or select different moods with a simple touch.
It looks like a control screen. And it is.
But there is something you may not know.
That same screen can become a security camera connected to your building’s video surveillance system.
Without adding a conventional camera at that point. Without giving up its usual functions. Without changing the aesthetics of the space.
Welcome to a new way of making the most of the technology you already have installed.
A screen that controls your building. And can now see it too.
At Adquio, we have always championed one idea: a building’s technology should work together, rather than as a collection of independent systems.
That is why our screens have never been simple touch devices. They are points of interaction with the building, making it easier to control lighting, climate and other systems through attractive, personalised interfaces.
Now, thanks to Adquio VisionCore and our Adquio RTSP Camera application, we are taking another step forward.
Compatible screen models with a built-in camera can use it as a video source for VisionCore, our video surveillance software.
What makes this particularly useful is that the screen can continue performing its control functions while its camera streams video in the background.
Your screen is still your screen. But now it is also part of your installation’s security.
Can you imagine the possibilities?
Think of an office reception area where an Adquio screen controls the lighting and climate. Its built-in camera can also provide a view of that area for the building’s monitoring system.
Or a shop, where control screens installed in strategic locations can become additional video sources.
Or a building with different rooms and shared spaces, where making use of existing devices allows you to add more viewpoints without necessarily adding a separate camera in every location.
The benefit is not simply having more images.
What really matters is that those images can become part of a much wider management system.
Adquio VisionCore: much more than viewing cameras
Adquio VisionCore is our video surveillance platform designed to integrate with the Adquio ecosystem.
From its web interface, you can view different video sources, organise cameras in mosaics, review recordings, manage access permissions and configure recording schedules.
It also lets you configure motion detection and, through compatible analysis services, add further object detection capabilities.
But here is one of its most interesting features.
VisionCore can link video events to variables in Adquio controllers.
What does that mean?
It means that motion detection can serve as an input for an automation.
For example, in a properly configured project, an event could trigger a lighting scene or generate a notification in the monitoring system.
We are no longer talking only about observing what happens.
We are talking about buildings where visual information can contribute to decisions made by the control system.
All of this comes from a platform that also supports conventional IP cameras, allowing different video sources to be combined according to each installation’s needs.
Three Adquio screens. Far more possibilities than you imagined.
This capability is available on three models in our control screen range, through the Adquio RTSP Camera application and its integration with VisionCore.
Adquio Wall Screen 8″: discreet, elegant and surprisingly versatile
An 8-inch touchscreen designed for in-wall installation, compatible with European and American mounting systems.
With Android 13, PoE or 12 V power and a built-in front camera, it is an especially useful solution for offices, rooms, shops and spaces where functionality and aesthetics need to work together.
Lighting and climate control, personalised interfaces and now the possibility of adding its camera to the VisionCore system.
A small screen that can take on big responsibilities.
Adquio Wall Screen 10″: more room for control, more value for your building
If you want a larger screen while keeping an elegant in-wall installation, Adquio Wall Screen 10″ takes the experience a step further.
Its 10-inch display offers an ideal surface for more comprehensive control interfaces, while its front camera can add a video surveillance function through Adquio RTSP Camera.
With Android 13, Ethernet PoE connectivity and a design that projects just 13 mm from the wall, it combines presence, convenience and versatility.
A screen designed for control that can also help you monitor.
Adquio Screen 10″: a control point with an additional function
Our Adquio Screen 10″ is a touch solution designed for continuous operation, ideal for installations that need a control interface that is always available.
Its versatility makes it suitable for managing lighting installations and other systems, while compatible versions equipped with a camera can become part of the VisionCore environment.
A device intended to simplify everyday control tasks can therefore take on a second role within the security infrastructure.
More usefulness in the same space. More possibilities for your installation.
The best technology is not always about installing more devices
For years, we have associated the evolution of smart buildings with adding new equipment: more sensors, more cameras, more controllers, more systems.
But there is another way to innovate.
Enable the devices already installed to do much more.
A screen once used only to control lighting can now contribute to video surveillance too.
A built-in camera that seemed like a secondary feature becomes a new source of information.
And a security system that traditionally worked independently can start to connect with building automation.
That is exactly what we aim for with the Adquio ecosystem: each product delivers value on its own, but when connected to the others, its possibilities multiply.
What if your next security system were already partly installed?
If you already use compatible Adquio screens, there may be an opportunity in front of you that you have not yet taken advantage of.
And if you are designing a new installation, perhaps it is time to look at our control screens from a completely different perspective.
Because choosing an Adquio screen no longer means only choosing how you want to control your building.
It can also mean deciding how you want to monitor it, protect it and connect it with the rest of its systems.
Discover Adquio VisionCore and start seeing your screens in a new light.
Adquio. One building, one platform. Many more possibilities.
