Argo V1.7 introduces VLM-powered intelligent search and two-factor facial recognition access control, along with enhanced LED display, IP speaker, and I/O device integration.

VLM-Powered Intelligent Search 

Argo V1.7 integrates Vision-Language Model (VLM) technology to combine visual analysis with semantic understanding, enabling faster searches across multiple servers and cameras.

• Person appearance search using clothing, glasses, helmets, and other visual attributes.

• Custom Object search using uploaded images.

• Up to 32-channel fire and smoke detection.

• Image-Based Search for people and objects.

Upload or capture an image to quickly search for visually similar people and objects across recorded video.

Two-Factor Facial Recognition Access Control

Argo V1.7 integrates facial recognition and card authentication into the access control workflow, helping reduce the risks associated with the misuse of a single credential.

• Facial recognition and card authentication for enhanced access security.
• Integrated identity verification, access records, and video footage.
• Batch registration of access credentials, including license plates and cards.

Rotating Video Wall 

LIVE View supports automatic video rotation across different areas, floors, and camera groups, reducing manual switching.

With a single computer and multiple HDMI outputs, users can extend multi-view layouts across multiple displays for centralized monitoring.

Key applications include:

• Critical area monitoring
• Multi-floor and multi-zone surveillance
• Entrance and exit monitoring
• Large-site centralized monitoring
• Multi-display video configuration

LED Display Integration

• Display license plates, welcome messages, and alerts based on recognition results and access status.
• Vehicle data output and FTP event transmission for third-party integration.

• Graphical configuration for selected LED control commands.

Smart Parking Application

After recognizing a license plate, Argo can display the license plate number and welcome message on an LED screen, open the barrier gate, and record video footage, recognition results, and access timestamps for later review.

IP Speaker Integration

Argo V1.7 integrates with IP speakers to deliver automated warnings and voice guidance when events such as unauthorized entry, line crossing, restricted-area intrusion, or fire and smoke are detected.

For example, the system can play unloading instructions for incoming logistics vehicles or issue a voice warning when an unauthorized person enters a restricted area.

This integration supports faster on-site response and automated safety communication.

I/O Device Integration

• Real-time Digital Input (DI) status display for connected devices.
• Event-based control for access systems, alarms, barrier gates, lights, and sensors.
• Integration with video surveillance and Building Automation (BA).

Performance and Usability Improvements

• Enhanced Live View output and license plate recognition performance.
• Improved AI Dongle stability and Client memory management.
• Optimized camera editing and access record processing.
• Automatic startup and login after system restart.

Argo V1.7 helps enterprises streamline video management, access control, and device integration for more efficient and responsive security operations.
