VIVOTEK

Overview

VIVOTEK VS8102 is a 1-CH video server supporting the high-performance H.264 compression format that drastically reduces file sizes and conserves valuable bandwidth and storage space. With MPEG-4 and MJPEG compatibility, video streams also can be transmitted in either of these formats for versatile applications. The streams can also be individually configured with separate frame rates, resolution, and image quality so as to meet different needs or bandwidth constraints. Users can receive multiple streams simultaneously in different settings for viewing on different platforms such as PCs or mobile phones.

The integrated 802.3af compliant PoE function reduces cabling problems, making the VS8102 a cost- effective surveillance solution. The built-in SD/SDHC card slot offers a convenient and portable storage option to prevent data loss in case of network disconnection. Since all data can be stored on a SD/SDHC card, the on-board storage design significantly reduces bandwidth consumption.

The VS8102 comes with VIVOTEK’s ST7501 32-CH central management software for high scalability and easy-to-use operation. With the VS8102, you can upgrade to a full-featured, high-end IP surveillance solution using existing infrastructure.
