Chapter 2 - Video Server Overview
The Brickcom VS-01A series is a high performance video server which helps users
makes an easy transition from an analog to IP-based surveillance system. It offers a
single channel solution which integrates any analog camera into the IP system.
Equipped with outstanding video processing capabilities, the VS-01A brings the high
video quality of IP cameras to any analog system.
The VS-01A is able to automatically scan analog signals (NTSC/PAL) and adapt to the
optimum operation mode to offer the best video conversion. By offering
H.264/M-JPEG/MPEG-4 triple codec compression, it is able to offer a flexible system
which does not require high bandwidth and storage capabilities. Through these
features, the VS-01A is able to simultaneously deliver dual configurable video streams
at 30fps at D1 resolution.
The wireless model of the VS-01A transforms any analog camera into one that is not
restricted by location or landforms. By adopting the technology of IEEE 802.11
a/b/g/n, the camera only needs to be set in an area with wireless coverage to transmit
the video feed. The WPS button on the WVS-01A allows for easy configuration and
troubleshooting by simplifying the complicated camera to AP/Router connection.
Users do not have to worry about the data connection failing because each video
server is equipped with a SD/SDHC memory card slot for local storage.
Support for Power over Ethernet enables the video server, as well as the analog
camera, to use the same cable for power and data transmission, eliminating the need
to install an external power supply.
By adopting the technology of video enhancement (3D de-interface, 3D noise
reduction and WDR enhancement), the Brickcom VS-01A equips analog cameras with
the accessibility and high video quality of IP cameras while allowing the user the
flexibility to use their existing analog infrastructure.
