1. Introduction
This Video Server provides a stable platform for transmission from traditional analogue CCTV cameras to an IP-
based system.
With the ability to select H.264 or MJPEG video compression, the Video Server offers scalability and efficient use
of network bandwidth. By combining the Video Server with a NVR that can receive IP signals from the internet,
users can upgrade analogue cameras to become an IP-based surveillance system that reduces the wiring costs
and maximises the convenience of distant surveillance applications.
