Innovative APViS™
Stores important video for longer
Older video recordings can contain vital visual evidence. But when the hard disk in any conventional DVR is full, it is simply the oldest recordings that are indiscriminately erased in order to make room for new ones. It’s standard FIFO logic: the First image In is the First one Out. But, is this really the smartest way of managing modern surveillance video?
Using innovative APViS technology, the AXIS 2460 Network DVR makes more efficient use of valuable disk space to preserve video recordings for longer. Flexible event management makes it possible to define up to 100 separate events, combine scheduling with alarm inputs, and by intelligently using event and alarm data, it cleverly differentiate between ‘important’ and ‘less important’ video.
Using these criteria, the AXIS 2460 is able to store top priority video sequences at their original recording rate up to four times longer than any conventional FIFO storage solution — and up to sixteen times longer using an incrementally reducing framerate. In practical terms, this can be the dramatic difference between having the evidence — and not having it!
Example
The graph below displays typical storage times for APViS ‘Extended’ recording mode versus conventional ‘FIFO’ storage, based on the following configuration:
Original recording frame rate = 10 fps
Average image size = 8kB
1 x camera
4 x 40GB IDE HD
Continuous low priority recording, and a single top priority alarm recording with 30 minute duration
Secure Storage. Secure Video.
In security applications, consistent quality of the recorded image is vital. With three different resolutions available per connected camera, the AXIS 2460 records in Motion JPEG format and guarantees consistent
The unique use of database mirroring and distributed video storage on all available hard disks allows the AXIS 2460 to tolerate hard disk failure without losing vital parts of video recordings. The practical implication of hard disk failure is a relative reduction in the frame rate of the recordings.
AXIS 2460 has three levels of user/password protection, with built- in firewall functionality based on IP filtering for secure remote system access over TCP/IP networks.
