The defects of traditional solution
Traditionally, users need to install professional PC-based storage
software into the computer and save the recorded video files
from network cameras to PC or network storage device.
The disadvantages of installing PC-based storage software:
◦Need to setup PC environment firstly and extra time is
needed to install the software. There may be many technical
issues happen such as software compatibility problems.
◦There are so many things that PC OS need to take care of
except recording video from network camera, so the unsteady PC
performance may a󰮏ect recording quality.
◦When PC or the peripheral network devices encounter errors,
recording process will be terminated. There are still risks from the
Internet, such as virus attack and hacking which may cause the
system unstable.
◦The users have to possess professional network knowledge
and skills to complete the complicated of the installation process.
◦It is hard to identify the source of the problem by scanning
and checking PC components and its peripherals when recording
error occurs.
