CompleteView Differences

Not all Video Management Systems are the same

What makes Salient’s CompleteView different?

1) Single Seat Administration

•Single management application for multi server / multi client environment
•Push server and manage client software updates centrally
•Control configuration of multiple servers and clients simultaneously
•Monitor health and status off all servers and cameras system-wide from one console

2) Enterprise Focused / Scalable

•Scales to any number of cameras/servers both in the CompleteView client and server applications

3) Unique video storage structure

•Works with IT backup software; no need to use proprietary ‘archiving’ feature with limited configuration options and functionality
•Recorded video files and metadata are stored in small file chucks which avoids reliability problems seen in other Video Management systems.  Other systems use large databases that can become corrupt and need ‘repair’, or can lead to video data loss.

4) Seamless with Analog & IP Cameras

•Analog and IP cameras are displayed without distinction

5) Low cost of acquisition (TCO)

•Lower cost per video channel license fee than other comparable tier-1 Video Management Systems

6) Easy Licensing

•IP Camera license is not tied to hardware address (MAC Address)
•Server license is not tied to server hardware.
•All server and camera licenses are movable without Salient intervention
•Move camera licenses between servers

7) Salient offers software only or complete NVR/Hybrid DVR

•Purchase software only for flexible deployment
•Full server configurations with software preinstalled for easy specifying and a single point of support for the Network Video Recorder
•Add video capture cards for an enterprise ready hybrid analog to IP solution

8) Dynamic Resolution Scaling 

•One stream is downloaded from the camera and resized for display
•Original resolution and quality is recorded
•Video is scaled for transmission  based on viewing size in the client to minimize bandwidth usage

9) All client’s are included at no extra cost

Alarm client, Video client, Mapping functionality & Web client included with CompleteView Standard & CompleteView Enterprise
•Unlimited instances of the client can be installed and running simultaneously

10) Unlimited client connections are allowed simultaneously

11) High performance, metadata based Smart Search feature

•Motion is analyzed in real time & results are displayed immediately. 
•The investigator can review clips while the Smart Search is running

12) High performance multi-threaded engine

•A Multithreaded application allows multiply tasks to be executed simultaneously. 
•Multithreaded design is required to take full advantage of multiple core or multiprocessor servers.

13) Flexible and responsive support/training and sales support

•Customer almost never sits on hold
•Friendly staff who are happy to help with any question
•US based team

14) Alarm client

•Blank video windows, only display on motion or external alarm event
•Identify event, remove potentially irrelevant video from displaying
•History list collects all events for quick replay

15) Advanced mapping client

•Definable field of view cones allow the operator to see more than just camera direction
