System solutions for optimal functionality and performance
Each facility is unique and has different requirements for a video surveillance system. By combining different models of Ethiris NVR, NVC and NVP, our customers, e.g. system integrators, get great opportunities to create a system that meets the varying requirements for video surveillance in different facilities.
Kentima offers the market three different series of NVR/NVC/NVP with different performance for different needs. Series 1 includes surface-mounted panels for viewing a small number of cameras at the same time. The Series 1E is well suited to small to medium-sized facilities with up to 32 cameras. Series 4 is suitable when you need really powerful devices for a large number of cameras or for extra demanding applications.The NVR-1E has the ability to connect up to 32 cameras and have an internal video storage of up to 22TB. The NVR-4 can accommodate dual video storage disks and thus up to 44 TB. The NVR-4 can connect up to 200 cameras. NVRN-4 is intended to store video on an external NAS and therefore has no internal video storage disks. The NVRN-4 can connect up to 200 cameras. NVRC-1E and NVRC-3 are intended to run both Ethiris Server and Ethiris Client at the same time. NVRC-1E can connect up to 12 cameras with up to 22 TB of internal video storage and NVRC-4, and can connect up to 64 cameras with 22 TB of internal video storage.
The NVC-1E is designed to run the Ethiris Client and can connect 1 monitor. NVC-4S and NVC-4L are designed to run Ethiris Client and can connect up to 3 and 4 monitors respectively.
Ethiris NVP is a panel with a built-in touchscreen with different screen sizes, resolutions and processor options. These are intended to run the Ethiris Client.
Here are some selected examples of system solutions with different combinations of Ethiris NVR, Ethiris NVC and Ethiris NVP:
Smaller ”All-in-one” systems
NVRC-1E fits well in smaller systems where you only want one unit in the video surveillance system. Ethiris NVRC-1E is optimized for running both Ethiris Server and Ethiris Client simultaneously. To NVRC-1E you can connect up to 12 cameras and one monitor.
Smaller system with separate client
Since it makes sense to place your NVR in a safe location, this example uses an NVR-1E placed in a server room. Via the network, clients are connected at desired work spacesto view live and recorded video. You select desired client model based on the requirements, for example an NVC-4S and an NVP-1E-311.
Mid-size systems
In our third example, there is a requirement of being able to view the video from several operator stations. If only one or two monitors are needed, NVC-4S is used and if there is a need for up to four monitors, NVC-4L is used. Both NVC-4S and NVC-4L can retrieve video from one or more NVRs. Since the facility has more than 32 cameras, our NVR-4 is used with the ability to receive information from up to 200 connected cameras. There is a possibility to run all NVR-4 in the facility as an Ethiris Cluster. This facilitates administration and configuration of the system and provides the possibility to create a redundant system. Ethiris Cluster is available at license level Premium or Universal level 6.
Large redundant systems
There is basically no limit on how large systems you can build with our various NVR, NVC and NVP models, besides the available network bandwidth. In this example we have a facility with a large number of NVRN-4.NVRN-4 has no internal video storage since it is intended for storing video externally, e.g. on a NAS. All NVRN-4, in this example, are run as an Ethiris Cluster and thus creating a redundant system with a high level of security and reliability. Furthermore, all NVRN-4 are connected to a NAS. To get redundancy for the video storage as well, a NAS allowing RAID-5 or RAID-6 is selected.
Ethiris Cluster is available at license level Premium or Universal level 6 in Ethiris VMS. You can determine the level of redundancy yourself by purchasing the necessary number of extra camera licenses. If one or several servers in the cluster fail, the remaining servers automatically take over the cameras that the failing server(s) handled. To get maximum redundancy, the remaining servers need a sufficient number of camera licenses to be able to handle all the cameras in the system.
