5Product Description
The CR67 series of compact IP video appliances deliver enterprise-class video recording and management
solutions to small, medium and large single or multi-site surveillance deployments. These appliances
provide an embedded, high-performance networked video platform capable of recording multiple cameras
with high sustained data throughputs to meet a multitude of requirements. The CR67 series appliances
can host enterprise-class video management (VMS) software solutions commonly used in the market. With
a pre-loaded operating system and your VMS of choice for on premise video recording, IONODES takes the
hassle away from complex set-up and configuration of an IP video management environment.
Combining the CR67 series appliances with your IP cameras and IP video encoders of choice provides a
cost-effective means to convert legacy analog video systems to IP, and build new, state of the art, IP video
surveillance deployments. The CR67 series supports all IP cameras and IP video encoders supported by all
major VMS solutions.
The CR67 Series appliances and VMS software combine to provide innovative configuration options and
tools that significantly decrease the deployment time and the effort needed to deploy your security
solution. Simply connect a USB keyboard, mouse and monitor to the appliance, install your favorite VMS
and you are ready to add your IP cameras and encoders to your video system. Alternatively, remote
configuration is also possible via network web access or VMS client application(s).
To support a wide range of deployment scenarios, while ensuring reliability and high availability, the CR67
Series appliances use industrial grade components and high-performance storage drives designed for 24/7
video recording.
