Intransa Reduces Surveillance System Costs
Report Details Shared, External IP Storage Savings for One or More DVRs and NVRs
SAN JOSE, California — September 10, 2008
Intransa, the global leader of shared, scalable and simple external IP storage solutions, has announced the release of 12 Reasons for External IP Video Storage, a comprehensive report on the benefits of IP storage for video surveillance systems.
“Storage is often overlooked by security practitioners, consultants, integrators and dealers, yet nowhere is there more opportunity for savings, reducing both operational expense and capital expenditure for video surveillance systems,” said Bud Broomhead, CEO of Intransa. “The report helps security professionals understand the benefits of shared, external IP video storage whether for an all-new IP solution or to upgrade one or more DVRs.”
The physical security industry is experiencing a technology shift from familiar single vendor, closed analog systems to standards-based, IP digital solutions from multiple vendors. As a result, the potential for cost savings, improved video quality and increase retention for video surveillance systems in particular are dramatic with IP storage.
There are multiple reasons for deploying shared, external IP storage including the ability to reduce the cost of video surveillance for a single DVR and benefits increase as more cameras, DVRs and NVRs are added. The best IP storage delivers the ability to reduce the total amount of storage required, and to upgrade and add capacity without ever halting recording, while eliminating the risk of moving to IP to enjoy all of the benefits of doing so.
Other topics covered include:
- The ability to extend retention periods at maximum resolution and frame rate for analog and IP network cameras indefinitely
- Enhance video and system reliability
- Eliminate the need for offline storage
- Reduce maintenance and administration
- Leverage existing infrastructure instead of being forced into rip-and-replacement of analog technology
- Adding support for new, non-traditional applications
- Optimizing performance of DVRs and NVRs
- Enabling the migration from DVRs to NVRs, as needed
The 12 Reasons for External IP Video Storage report is available for download from the Intransa website at www.intransa.com, and also from Intransa StorPartner Security Integrators worldwide.
