Dynamic decoding buffer adjust

The real-time surveillance is able to modify the priority setting between the video’s fluency and it’s real-timing with flexibility. Should the user chose to give fluency the priority, the system will provide much fluent images. Otherwise , the system will focus on providing real-time images. Thus, the system is capable of satisfying all kinds of needs.

Centralized management

All the data of the system is under centralized management. This allows remote users to conduct real-time surveillance and video playback via internet.

Fine operability

High integration level

Other kinds of relevant information such as alarm information, voice message are also integrated in the system.

High reliability

There is also a fault-tolerant mechanism designed for the system, in order to keep the data intact, and to keep the system reliable.

Fine expansibility

Service-oriented system design, provides fine ability to expand and to adapt. Which can considerably protect user’s investments.

Other features

Allows to use E-map

Allows multi-channel playback

Able to connect to multiple devices and check their video(both real-time and playback) XML data storage

Compatible with multiple protocols for rocker keyboard Multiple kinds of alarm devices are allowed, such as CK,VISTA

Compatible with multiple kinds of 3D positioning protocols. Able to perform 3D positioning within the viewing area.
