Video Management Software OR Network Video Recorder
Network Video Recorder
Benefit: No staging or installation hassle
When sourcing a complete NVR solution the software is pre installed, eliminating an obstacle to successful deployment. This mean less time at the installation site and a lower potential for problems and time consuming troubleshooting.
Benefit: Single point of support/easier vendor management
One of the benefits of an NVR is that the hardware and software come from a single vendor. This makes the management of vendors simpler. This also eliminates the proverbial 'finger pointing' between vendors when a problem occurs.
Benefit: Easier to specify hardware for a particular camera configuration
One of the major design challenges is how to specify the correct server hardware for the video recording needs. Some camera and recording configuration factors influence server processing requirements, such as:
* Number of cameras
* Recording frame rate
* Live viewing frame rate
* Compression type (MJPEG / MPEG4 / H.264)
* Resolution of recorded/live video
* Processing of the video (motion detection / Analytics)
Other factors influence storage required:
* Amount of video being recorded at a given time (throughput of the disk system)
* Resolution
* Frame rate recorded
* Retention time
* Compression type
* Scene complexity (amount of movement & variation of colors)
Video Management System
Benefit: Hardware flexibility
When sourcing a recording server hardware platform from a single vendor, the choices are limited to the vendor’s offerings.
Benefit: Compliance with organization’s standard PC vendor
