Product Overview
Product OverviewProduct Overview
Product Overview
Arecont Vision offers AV100, a f ll-feat red video s rveillance software system, to complement its line of
megapixel IP cameras. AV100 s pports f ll-motion, real-time, m lti-camera viewing and policy-based
archiving, remote access to live and archived video via Internet Explorer, post-event zooming from digital
archives, sim ltaneo s viewing of f ll-field of view and m ltiple zoomed images and a m ltit de of other
feat res that take advantage of niq e f nctionality and performance of Arecont Vision cameras.
A typical system consists of a n mber of cameras connected over a local or wide area network to a server PC
which is r nning the AV100 software. To achieve f ll motion archival rate, the server may be placed locally to
the cameras so that the interconnecting LAN has s fficient bandwidth and a small ro ndtrip delay between
the cameras and the server PC.
Alternatively, a remote PC can connect to a Server PC over a slower network connection, s ch as Internet.
Once connected, the remote PC can display the live video stream and browse archives sing Internet
Explorer. Note that when connected to the AV100 software, the remote PC does not connect to the cameras
directly. Rather, the remote PC connects to the server PC on which AV100 is r nning.

A PC with a single, slower CPU is s fficient in the case when images are to be archived, b t not viewed live.
HDD size depends according to the desired capacity of the video archives (approximately 200Kbytes/image).
As an example, two 400GB drives will yield approximately 6 days of archiving capacity for an 8 camera
system recording at 1 frame per second in JPEG mode, or over 30 days recording in h.264 mode.

Using a 100 Mbps Ethernet Switch with PoE ports or a Ro ter with PoE ports is recommended. A gigabit
Ethernet Switch with PoE ports for m ltiple camera connections is highly recommended, especially in the
case of a m lti-camera installation. Simple h bs do not provide collision management and are not s itable for
a m lti-camera Arecont Vision system.
