Forward: CAM SS Workstation
CAM SS Workstation  is a complete digital video surveillance solution that may be used both for long term digital
video recording of quality video scenes onto reliable hard disk or as a remote surveillance system allowing for “dial in” or
remote LAN access as well as remote alarm video transmission to a previously assigned remote video operator work
stations.
Conceived in a 4U, 19” rack mount format and secure enclosure, CAM SS Workstation DVR's (digital video recorders)
may accept up to 16 camera inputs depending on the number of 4 channel capture cards preconfigured within the recorder.
(Optional 1 channel High FPS cards are also available for configuration)
The system may be used as a stand-alone recording device with a SVGA monitor and keyboard connected to the recorder,
or, be connected to either a 10BaseT or 100BaseT Network, allowing up to 32 remote operator review stations to
simultaneously communicate with a single recorder, offering both live view, playback as well as remote file transfer. (The
greater the number of recorders, the greater the number of simultaneous remote operator review stations…32 X # DVR's
on the Network…).
In addition to this feature and unlike other systems, the CAM SS Workstation recorder itself may be set up as a client to
view video from other remotely or LAN connected CAM SS DVR recorders without the required use of a dedicated
server or dedicated review station/PC as with other competitive technologies.
