Features

Flexible in design, StarterBlock™ is ideal as a DVR/NVR shared IP storage upgrade. Often costing less than upgrading fixed, captive storage for just one DVR, savings and other benefits increase as additional DVRs, NVRs or cameras are added. And StarterBlock™ is also ideal as a low cost, high performance, all-IP edge recording or site storage platform.

Shared IP storage in StarterBlock™ can significantly reduce the total amount of capacity required compared with fixed, captive DVR storage.

This results in further cost savings, since less storage is required while more video can be retained. Global spares eliminate the high overhead cost of DVR/NVR storage systems that are RAID equipped. Advanced RAID 5 data protection ensures that even if a disk fails, it can be immediately replaced and recording does not halt. Email and web alerts notify the security operator and/or the support organization automatically. StarterBlock is an advanced IP-SAN (storage area network), eliminating the disk fragmentation problems of DAS (direct attached storage) and NAS (network attached storage) solutions. Video recorded to one StarterBlock™ can be transmitted to other local or remote StorStac Systems™ or viewed online for video analysis, incident review, or long term retention and archiving, and avoiding the need for off-line storage for many situations.
