VideoEdge is a high-performance NVR
that supports multi-channel audio and
video for a robust enterprise video
management solution. Pre-configured
bundled server solutions utilize an
embedded Linux 2.6 kernel operating
system, web server, as well as
user, camera, network and storage
management applications. With the
unique victor unified client and site
manager you can view and manage all of
your VideoEdge NVRs, as well as Intellex
DVRs you may have, all from one intuitive
interface.
H.264 takes video compression
technology to a new level. It is capable
of providing good video quality at
substantially lower bit rates than previous
standards (MPEG-4 or MJPEG). H.264
greatly reduces bandwidth transmission
and storage requirements and associated
savings in terms of network and days of
video storage.
The VideoEdge NVR software has been
performance tested
2
with up to 64 IP
cameras on the 2U rack mount bundled
server. It supports devices, including
megapixel cameras, from a variety of
manufacturers

. Using encoders

, you
can also utilize analogue cameras.
The open system architecture of
VideoEdge NVR allows you to start with
any number of cameras and scale up as
needed by uploading a newer camera
license. There is no need to register each
individual camera as required by many
other similar products on the market
today.
VideoEdge bundled NVR is based
on Intel’s Westmere CPU for high
system performance. The NVR uses
Tier 2 near-line SAS hard disk drives
specifically designed for high throughput
performance critical server applications.
Unlike commonly used low cost SATA
drives Tier 2 SAS drives are intended for
24 x 7 reliability and an extended lifetime
Innovative Technologies
VideoEdge NVR has a true server-client
architecture designed to manage video
very efficiently and achieve superior
performance. The processor, memory,
and disk space overhead typically
associated with commercially available
operating systems do not apply to
VideoEdge NVR.
VideoEdge systems provide unique
built-in virtualization so that any number
of NVRs and cameras from one or more
sites looks like one logical NVR. This
enables you to better manage a large
number of devices and/or locations.
As the number of cameras increase
at a facility, resolution and frame rate
performance can become a challenge.
VideoEdge NVR features many unique
algorithms to achieve maximum read and
write performance. Innovative techniques
enable VideoEdge NVR to achieve the
highest possible performance while
supporting more devices and storage for
the lowest total cost-of-ownership.

Network Video Recorder
(1) Refer to www.americandynamics.net for the latest list of supported devices, hardware, codec’s, browsers, and other related information
including recommended system requirements for hardware and storage. All proprietary hardware components (e.g. RAID controllers) or devices
(e.g. new IP cameras) require special drivers or unique camera handlers. Therefore review information related to the latest released version.
(2) VideoEdge NVR bundled server has been performance tested with up to 64 cameras on a single NVR. The camera license is based on a per
video channel input; 8-channel encoders, will each occupy 8-channel slots. Therefore, review information related to the latest released version.
The configuration of the NVR, number of cameras, codec, frame rate and recording modes will impact its performance and functionality.
