Salient Systems is pleased to announce the release of the RM2000 hybrid video management server available in 4-channel increments from 4 to 32 analog inputs. In addition to the flexibility of the analog inputs, the RM2000 supports up to a recommended maximum of 50 camera sources providing support for simultaneous IP and analog camera recording. The RM2000 transitions customers easily from analog to IP simply by removing the 4 channel analog card and replacing it with 4 IP channels at no extra charge. Powered by CompleteView™, Salient’s VMS (video management software), this offering is a highly efficient, low cost, video surveillance solution. Read more of the RM2000 press release.
1. Bandwidth is still a concern for many organizations considering an IP video deployment. Security improvement projects can be stalled when an origination’s IT professions are concerned about the network impact of streaming video from IP cameras and supporting the cameras and recording servers.
2. Confusion is partly related to video streaming from websites, such as youtube.com, to an organizations network. In this scenario, the organizations Internet connection (WAN) is taxed by the incoming video streams. The WAN connection is much slower than internal network connections (LAN) which would be used by an IP video deployment.
3. Even using a high resolution, high frame rate configuration, bandwidth generated by an H.264 capable IP camera only amounts to a fraction of the bandwidth available on the LAN.
4. Modern LANs using switches automatically segment traffic. Each connected device has its own dedicated bandwidth meaning video generated by the cameras will not affect other network traffic, such as email.
Using CompleteView for IP video deployments provides unique advantages, such as Dynamic Resolution Scaling, which further reduces the bandwidth impact on your LAN. Additionally, CompleteView provides powerful administration features making it easy to monitor, manage and maintain a large and dispersed video surveillance installation. These features help to make an IP video deployment easier for an organization's IT department to support. For more information please check out our white paper, Why is CompleteView Network Friendly?

Selling points. Every company has them but few take the time to explain exactly what each of their selling points means to the customer. Here at Salient, we’ve decided to expand on our product features and translate, in layman terms, the real world benefits to our users. The first feature we cover is our “no cost license upgrade” with a quote from our regional sales manager, Steve Davis:
“Analog to IP migration strategy might be the most important offering we have. Consider there are tens of thousands existing analog cameras connected to DVR’s that are at or nearing their end of life. Most people aren’t going to reinvest in DVR’s again so they need a cost effective, flexible solution to move forward. With Salient we future proof their investment by either keeping their analog cameras, switching to IP cameras, or both via our Hybrid NVR solution. The cost of our analog camera license includes the capture card which converts the analog signal to digital (MJPEG or MPEG4) so there isn’t a cost for an encoder. When they are ready to switch the analog camera to an IP camera we will supply the IP camera license for free as long as the capture card is returned to us. If they wish to have all IP cameras and /or encoders we support that also.”
Thanks Steve. Simple and to the point. If you’re in the northeast or mid-Atlantic area and want to find out more, feel free to call Steve at 484-888-5684 or email him at steve.davis at salientsys dot com.
