Management Center
Management center is the place for security managers and security guards to check live view and playback through video walls, PC workstations and other display devices. Based on the real-time view of the front camera, it verifies the alarm and dispatches the guard to the scene of the accident.
Reliable & Low-TCO System
NGN Architecture
-
Media streaming and signaling are processed separately. Video management server only handle signaling. The server’s failure will not influence the video storage and live view.
-
In traditional architecture, video recording would be lost when recording server stops running. This issue will be overcome in UNV’s NGN architecture where network camera sends the stream to IP SAN directly based on iSCSI standard storage protocol. It significantly decreases the investment because there is no media server and recording server in NGN architecture.
Tranditional Architecture
NGN Architecture
VMS 1+1 Hot Spare
-
UNV VMS supports 1+1 hot spare function. If the Master VMS breaks down, the Standby VMS will take over the service immediately. All service and data will be transferred back to Master VMS when it recovers from failure.
High-Reliable IP Storage
-
Different types of carrier-class hardware designs ensure high reliability and 7/24 operating capabilities.
Fully Redundant Modular Design
Anti-Dust & Sulfide Alarm Design
Anti-Vibration HDD Module
ANR
-
UNV cameras can automatically store video recordings into camera’s SD card when network is disconnected. Once the network is restored, the video recordings will be sent back to the storage server. Thus, all of video recordings would be saved even network fails temporarily.
IP Storage N+1
-
UNV IP SAN supports N+1 hot backup. If any active IP SAN fails, the standby IP SAN will automatically take over the service.
Cost-Effective Design
-
UNV IP storage adopts unique structure allowing 60 bays at a height of 4U with front panel hot swappable. Hence, UNV solution can save more than 60% rack space and much more power consumption under the same condition.
