Chapter 1: Installation
The CamSS Digital Video Surveillance System is an all-in-one system that integrates various functions
including monitoring, video recording and playing, alarming, controlling and remote monitoring. CamSS
transfers recorded image signals into digital signals then compresses and saves them in your computer.
SDMCT (Super Dynamic Motion Compression Technology) has been applied to this system. The super data
compression ratio makes it possible to save image data in the hard drive of a computer for weeks and/or even
months.
Although the SDMCT (Super Dynamic Motion Compression Technology) provides an extremely high image
compression ratio, the image quality is not affected. Small volumes of data enable it to transmit images
through limited bandwidth (narrow band) transmission media (e.g. MODEM) at a higher performance level.
SDMCT was specifically developed for the security market.
CamSS has the following features:
Simultaneously supports three types of CamSS capture cards: Cam SS 1 Channel,
CamSS 4 Channel, and Cam SS 2 Channel Audio/Video.
- CamSS 1 Channel card supports one video input
- CamSS 4 Channel card supports four video inputs
- CamSS 2 Channel Audio/Video card supports two video and two audio inputs.
Multi-card design architecture: One PC supports up to 4 cards, 1~16 video inputs, and
up to 8 audio inputs. The installation can be a mix of three types of Cam SS cards.
SDMCT with high video compression ratioprovides superior image quality and extended recording time.
Adjustable image size, quality and recording speed.
Image data can be stored onto all of the hard disk drives that are installed in a computer.
Provides up to 8 audio channels to work with cameras for audio recording or playback.
