Symmetry™ ENVS®
Edge Network Video Servers
System
Overview
The Symmetry™ Edge Network Video Servers (ENVS®) provide a flexible video management
hardware platform for organizations moving towards digital video while operating
under the constraints of today’s legacy camera installations, network bandwidth
and storage limitations.
Featuring high quality MPEG-4 DSP video encoding, the Symmetry ENVS supports standard
analog cameras and is available in one or four channel models with on board data
storage. The Symmetry ENVS provides full software and peer to peer level integration
with our market leading range of security management products.
Using event based recording capability, video can be stored on any event triggered
from an access control or intrusion system. For example, a minute before – using
an internal video buffer - and after a door is opened, video can be stored or the
configuration of the video can be changed.
With up to 160GB of storage in the video server, activity can be stored and forwarded
on demand allowing for archiving to take place at off-peak times. This provides
the scalability and flexibility to meet the demands of applications of all sizes
while reducing the network bandwidth required during peak operating times.
The frame rate, video resolution, presets and any other settings can be adjusted
for individual cameras to react to predefined triggers or on a timed basis. This
provides an unparalleled level of security integration for any organization and
can dramatically reduce the storage requirement for video.
