What are Network Video Servers?

Network Video Servers

Connected to one or more personal computers, a network video server takes over many different tasks without the need for a dedicated PC. The server’s software is very easy to install and usually compatible with a wide variety of cameras and networks. A server can often run smoothly even without installing the software and simply needs to be plugged in properly to get started. Additionally, it is compatible with the Internet Explorer and Firefox browsers.

The network video server is able to carry out video monitoring throughout different rooms. This way, it is easy to manage surveillance from a PC. The server can also be used by multiple users at the same time – it can handle a maximum of up to 100 users. Alert messages are sent to users via e-mail and FTP.

An appropriately equipped network video server even enables the user to transfer live video events with sound to mobile devices.
