disk storage devices that are utilized by the server for network connectivity and storing video data. The latest list of supported devices must be available on the manufacturer’s web site.

10.The Network Video Recorder software shall include support for Motion JPEG (MJPEG), MPEG-4, and a patented proprietary compression scheme called Active Content Compression (ACC) that differentiates motion from video noises. The latest list of supported codec’s must be available on the manufacturer’s web site.

11.The Network Video Recorder software shall provide picture-in-picture (PiP) support to enable digital pan-tilt-zoom control for all fixed cameras. The client management software shall allow these digital preset positions to be saved onto the local client machine.

12.The Network Video Recorder shall incorporate open and innovative design architecture.

13.The Network Video Recorder’s operating system and application must be installed on a dedicated hard drive, separate from the hard drives used for video recording, to dramatically reduce the risk of system failure.

14.The Network Video Recorder software shall utilize minimum number of open ports for discovery and communication to reduce the risk of attack from malicious programs and system hackers.

15.The Network Video Recorder software shall easily integrate with other business-critical systems and third party applications using its 100% Application Programmers Interface (API) driven interface. The manufacturer of the unit shall also offer a Software Developers Kit (SDK) to select third party manufacturers, in addition to sample modular programs with their source codes in C#, allowing programmers to develop their own software to control the unit’s functions.

16.The Network Video Recorder software shall utilize standard server-client architecture for access and management of the server and its resources.

17.The Network Video Recorder software shall provide virtualization so that any number of Network Video Recorder servers and cameras from one or more sites can be managed as a single logical Network Video Recorder using the client management software.

18.The Network Video Recorder software shall support automatic and seamless bridging of multiple networks. This will enable the utilization of one physical/logical network segment for all users to access the Network Video Recorder while a separate physical/logical private network segment can be used for IP cameras and encoders. The software shall automatically bridge multiple networks to enable both IT and security managers to collectively integrate the server into existing networks without compromising security
