New from Dallmeier is the VideoNetBox II. The makers describe it as a compact appliance for the recording of up to eight IP video channels. With a new, processor, all eight channels can now be recorded in real-time in HD quality (720p).
SMAVIA recording pre-installed
The SMAVIA Recording Server software for recording audio and video streams is already installed. The corresponding software SMAVIA Viewing Client allows for the independent evaluation of the recordings over Ethernet (LAN/WAN). It can be run on devices with a Windows XP / 7 operating system and is included in the VNB II’s scope of delivery.
Open Platform
The pre-installed software SMAVIA Recording Server is designed as an open platform. With the according licenses, third-party IP cameras with motion detection can be recorded and configured over the ONVIF protocol.
If the installation is to include analogue as well as IP cameras in mixed operation, the product can be expanded with the optional “Analog Upgrade Kit” for operating as many as eight analogue channels in hybrid mode.
Mounting
The product can be mounted in almost any location, it is claimed – on walls, ceilings, or as a base installation on tables or cupboards. As for installing: find a place, screw it in, and you’re finished, the makers say. Dallmeier add that even fitting or replacing hard disks has been optimised in version II, and after opening the rear panel it takes a few steps.
