With the launch of the VideoEdge Hybrid and Desktop NVR recording solutions from American Dynamics, Tyco Security Products has added more tools for end users looking to make a strategic and seamless migration to IP video.
The VideoEdge portfolio, which has tripled since its introduction in 2008, offers a full suite of NVR solutions for all size businesses, while still providing a robust feature set and future scalability.
The VideoEdge Hybrid and Desktop NVR are fast, easy to use and install, with a clean, intuitive design. The new NVRs are also a cost-effective investment into IP surveillance, allowing the end users to leverage their analogue investment whilst delivering the powerful features customers have come to expect from the VideoEdge portfolio, including dynamic bandwidth management, embedded video analytics, and health monitoring. Along with the victor unified client from American Dynamics, you can do live monitoring, record on alarms, event management, mapping and more from one unified interface.
VideoEdge Hybrid is a powerful, high-performance NVMS that records and manages video from both analogue and IP cameras, as well as high-definition and megapixel IP cameras, protecting your video investments. The Desktop offers 200Mbps throughput (100Mbps to storage and 100Mbps playback to clients), with rack-mount systems offering up to 800Mbps.
VideoEdge Hybrid is available in three form factors: a 16-channel recorder with up to eight analogue inputs, a 32-channel recorder with up to 16 analogue inputs, and a 64-channel recorder with up to 32 analogue inputs. If you have an analogue input that is not needed, you can upgrade the analogue input with an IP camera license, and connect an IP camera into that slot. This allows you to replace existing analogue cameras with IP models as needed. The VideoEdge spot analogue monitor output can provide a mixed view of both an analogue and IP camera over a traditional analogue CCTV monitor.
VideoEdge Hybrid is an appliance that delivers high-performance whilst maintaining network security. With its open system architecture design, you can deploy any number of cameras, adding camera licenses at any given time, for a solution that easily scales from a single site to a large, multi-site architecture. VideoEdge Hybrid supports multi-channel audio input for a robust video management solution and can work side by side with the server-based VideoEdge NVR.
Using VideoEdge’s innovative embedded video analytics and innovative motion-based meta-data, security officers and operators can search for recorded video very quickly, taking only seconds to search days of video. All analytics capabilities are licensed to the server and can be dynamically allocated from one camera to another.
The entire VideoEdge portfolio boasts unique built-in dynamic bandwidth management that allows you to view high-quality video in real time, even when connected through a narrow bandwidth connection. You can even cap the data transmitted over the LAN and WAN, enabling your VideoEdge NVR or Hybrid to coexist with other applications operating on the same bandwidth network. This ensures high-quality video from any location over a LAN, WAN or public Wi-Fi Internet connections.
VideoEdge Hybrid is fast and easy to install and configure and enables multiple video streams for live, record, alarm, and meta-data collection. It supports MJPEG, MPEG-4 and H.264 video compression technologies in a non-blocking architecture.
VideoEdge Go, our full-featured video surveillance app for mobile devices, allows you to quickly investigate live and recorded video from the VideoEdge Recorder. The app is compatible with all iOS devices and utilises dynamic bandwidth management to provide high-quality video over Wi-Fi and 3G connections.
The VideoEdge client allows you to manage and monitor high performance video streaming, audio, and motion smart-search. For more advanced applications such as monitoring live video, or multiple operators, the victor express or victor professional clients provide an intuitive user experience for single-point event management.
victor is designed to handle the high throughput of HD and megapixel cameras connected to the American Dynamics video platforms VideoEdge and HDVR, as well as analogue cameras connected to INTELLEX DVRs for a seamless user experience. victor easily manages real-time alarms and events and scales from a single site to multi-location global deployments, simplifying the management of large, geographically dispersed security operations.
The victor solution includes advanced policy management, health monitoring, Smart Search, instant playback, and more, ensuring the security and safety of your entire organisation. Mix and match technologies without toggling between separate client applications. The intuitive design includes advanced Windows Presentation Foundation features such as tear off, snap, auto hide, tab, and dock windows, providing an easy and customisable operator experience.
You can even use victor to manage events from connected systems such as Software House C•CURE 9000 access control system, MXZ fire panels and more.
