By 2022, more IP traffic will cross global networks than in all prior “Internet years” combined up to the end of 2016, according to Cisco’s Complete VNI Forecast. In other words, more traffic will be created in 2022 than in the first 32 years of the Internet.

For organizations choosing to implement or expand an IP video surveillance system, the ability to efficiently manage video streams and storage is crucial to ensure the best use of the network and reduce costs associated with deploying and operating the system.

This series of network video recorders (NVRs) come with either 4- or 8-port embedded Power over Ethernet (PoE) switches, and they are pre-configured with video management software and have 2TB and 4TB of storage, respectively.

 Whether you were hired to breathe new life into a stagnant security program or if your security system is just in desperate need of an overhaul, a retrofit is likely in your future.

The Town of Addison, Texas, is also seeing a return on its surveillance investment through easier-to-manage VMS. After a routine camera filter-and-replace, the Town’s IT department replaced cameras at three locations throughout the community: a 150,000 square-foot Athletic Club , a 44,000 square-foot Conference and Theatre Centre , and the 20-acre Addison Circle Park.
