Virtual Video Recorder

Today’s physical security solutions are far more complex than legacy video equipment.

MMCVision Software provides an easy to deploy and use video surveillance platform that delivers unparalleled camera and storage scalability while significantly reducing initial and ongoing system costs. These benefits are achieved by leveraging an open, but inherently different architecture from the 50 year old CCTV technology used by all DVR and NVR products. The Virtual Video Recorder™ can eliminate up to 90% of the servers traditionally used as video recorders, thus saving customers 25% to 66%, including commercial and enterprise-size organizations with distributed site challenges.

+A Complete Software-Only Video Management Solution

The VVR™ provides: Access to live and recorded video, regardless of location. Centralized configuration and management of third party cameras, encoders and storage devices Indexed full-time and event-triggered video recording Replication and relocation of recorded video Event message management, including user notification, escalation and workflow logging 2-way Voice over IP communications

+The Problem with DVRs and NVRs

DVRs and NVRs suffer from using an approach to recording that is rooted in fifty year old technology. All live and recorded video must go through the recorder, creating a costly, DVR/NVR server-intensive bottleneck. From a scalability perspective, this bottleneck becomes an even bigger problem. As more cameras, storage, viewing clients, distributed sites are added, customers are required to buy more servers. Similarly, distributed sites or bandwidth challenges will likely drive the purchase of more servers as well.

Take advantage of MMCVision’s™ software based solutions that are not hardware dependent and can integrate with existing components and infrastructure.

MMCVision™ Virtual Video Recorder (VVR™) is designed for medium to large scale IP video surveillance applications and is capable of supporting unlimited cameras and locations in a centralized or distributed architecture.

The VVR™ leverages a browser interface eliminating the need to install or license client software to access live and recorded video. The intuitive interface offers advanced map navigation of cameras, a multi-monitor virtual matrix, an advanced search engine, and an alarm monitoring interface for real-time alerting. Administrator functions are also accessed through the use of a browser providing overall system management, reporting and control of all locations, devices and users. The MMCVision™ software suite is based on open standards, which leverage commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) servers, switches, storage, and cameras. The VVR™ can easily scale up and down to suit your current and future requirements.
