| 1. Unlimited recording quantities and size, no Archiving required... |
| |
By leveraging a robust architecture there are no limits to the size or quantity of recordings on any single server. This is an important capability considering other PC based surveillance applications require video to be moved off the recording server by means of an 'Archiving' routine whereas ipConfigure can retain unlimited quantities of video on a single server. |
| |
|
| 2. Independent live & recording frame rates... |
| |
Each camera allows for independent settings of both frame rates and resolutions for either live view or recording. Most surveillance solutions only support a single frame rate for both live and recording, this is problematic when trying to optimize network bandwidth while maintaining quality recordings. |
| |
|
| 3. A high camera count & megapixel support... |
| |
ipConfigure offers a highly optimized motion detection algorithm which delivers low false recording rates and support for high camera quantities. A low 'per-camera' CPU cost will support 120+ standard VGA resolution cameras or 60+ megapixel cameras on a single server. |
| |
|
| 4. Licensed by quantity, no MAC address or DLK's required... |
| |
Software license management is based on the number of cameras authorized in the database. The system administrator can easily change camera models and IP addresses freely and does not require special DLK licenses or MAC address information to re-registrater when replacing or moving IP cameras. |
| |
|
| 5. A single integrated enterprise architecture... |
| |
Starting with version 1.0 ipConfigure has focused on scalable architecture capable of supporting up to unlimited cameras, users, and locations. A three-tier computing model is the foundation of this robust design and operates under a service based process for autonomous and self-healing operations. |
| |
|
| 6. Centralized system management... |
| |
The browser based admin interface provides a single point of access for administrators to manage all aspects of the surveillance system. Because the database is leveraged for system settings there is no need to access individual servers on the system to manage user access or camera settings. |
| |
|
| 7. Secure video connections through SSL encryption... |
| |
ipConfigure supports SSL encryption to restrict access and provide secure connections between cameras, servers, and client interfaces. This technology is what provides secure connections for the on-line banking industry and ensures protection from eavesdroppers and man-in-the-middle attacks. |
| |
|
| 8. Scalability through open standards... |
| |
Utilizing open database standards ipConfigure supports a broad selection of databases (SQL, SQL Express, MySQL) which equips the software to support unlimited cameras, buildings, and users. By leveraging standard IT practices, such as backup routines, the system can be restored quickly under any conditions. Other software products utilize proprietary databases which tend to be slow unreliable while requiring lengthy re-indexing sessions or total loss of data. |
| |
|
| 9. Intelligent system health monitoring & reporting... |
| |
As an IP centric solution each component (cameras, switches, and servers) provides intelligent information about its status. This data is collected in the database and is reported to the alarm page and emailed in real-time. Now system administrators have actionable information to ensure all the cameras are active in addition to real-time notification of cameras, network and server devices. |
| |
|
10. Browser based interface... |
| |
The browser based interface removes the need to install client software while making the system accessible from any computer on the network. With the support for both Firefox and Internet Explorer the application is accessible from any Windows, Mac, Solaris, or Linux operating systems. |
