 Video servers for video over IP
Why to buy a video server

Video-servers convert an analogue video signal, for example the output of an analogue camera or DVR, into a digital video streaming that can be transmitted over a LAN network and managed by personal computers.

Integrating analogue cameras into IP systems

RJ45 BNC Today, CCTV systems can be developed using 2 different technologies: analogue TV or IP network TV. Both technologies are up-to-date and satisfy different marketing needs. Video servers are used to connect an analogue video source to a digital IP network so that it can be received by any PC on the net.
It's important to point out that all VSE video-recorders for analogue cameras include a video server function and come with LAN port. This means that any PC in the LAN can access the analogue cameras through the DVR, exactly as they were IP cameras.
This range of video servers can be useful to connect an analogue camera to an IP network, where a DVR cannot be installed. Besides, they can be used to integrate an analogue camera into a system made of IP cameras and control all of them from a single monitoring software.

Software compatibility

You do not need a special software to be used with the video servers. You can get video and configure the device just using an internet browser like Internet Explorer.
Anyway if you are planning to develop an IP CCTV system made of IP cameras and video servers on the same network, please consider that the recording software supplied with the VRN-S6901E H.264 model also supports all VSE H.264 Megapixel IP cameras.

 How the video-server works
Easy installation

VSE video-servers are compact (120x146x46 mm.) stand-alone units. On the camera side there are 1 video input (BNC) and 1 audio input (Mini-jack/RCA) which can be connected to any analogue camera or composite video source. An analogue video output is also available to connect external devices. On the network side there is an RJ45 connector for the LAN, the 12VDC power plug (adaptor included), and an RS485 port which can be used for sending commands to SD Speed Dome cameras.

Wi-Fi version (MVS-S14WE)

WiFi MVS-S14WE model includes a Wi-Fi transmitter for connection to IEEE 802.11g wireless LANs. The device includes the site survey feature that detects all available access points in the area. The MVS-S14WE video server supports WEP encryption to protect the video streaming from unauthorized access.

Instant configuration with software tool

Once the LAN is connected you can set the IP address of the video server. We provide an IP INSTALLER software which enables any PC in the network to detect the video servers, and configure the network settings according to your needs.

LAN Access with Internet Explorer

Camera images can be monitored from any PC in the network and even on the Internet, just by entering the IP address of the video server into the address box on Internet Explorer. A clear Active-X graphic interface is used to display the video and configure, if authorized, all device settings. All VSE video servers support RTSP protocol so they can be monitored also using RTSP players like REAL PLAYER, QUICKTIME, VLC etc.

iPhone control (VRN-S6901E only)

Works with iPhone VRN-S6901E video servers can be monitored by mobile devices, like iPhone or PDAs. Cameras can be watched full screen on your smartphone over internal LAN or over the Internet.

Local recording via USB (VRN-S6901E only)

USB The VRN-S6901E video server, the latest development of the range, come with 2 USB ports that can be used to connect USB drives like pen drives or Hard Disks. It's possible to record video locally on the base of the built-in weekly scheduler, without depending on the network. Recording video within the video server can be very useful for example if you do not have a network video recorder or if you want to keep a security backup of your videos.

 Main features
Dual-codec compression

In order to keep the video streaming light in terms of bandwidth, all VSE video servers include dynamic compression chips.
The MVS models use MPEG4 compression while the VRN-S6901E uses the H.264 compression. All models support also the MJPEG format, in case you prefer minimum compression and you are ready to dedicate large bandwidth.

Full D1 resolution 720x576 pixels

All VSE video servers produce the highest resolution allowed by an analogue video signal: the D1 resolution - 720x576 pixels (same as DVD). The video streaming is crystal clear and you can watch it full-screen and zoom in.

Frame Rate of 25 frames/second real-time

Thanks to the use of dynamic compression the video streaming is smooth and never jerky, even at maximum D1 resolution.

Long-term operative stability

The main parameter to take into account when choosing an IP video server is operative stability. In video over IP there is nothing worse than an unstable device, subject to firmware crash and needing reboot from time to time.
The firmware of all VSE video servers undergoes lengthy testing and careful beta-testing before each new release. You can confidently install the device, safe in the knowledge that it is not going to bring you troubles.
Firmware updates can be downloaded from any PC over the network.

Synchronized audio

Audio The video-server has an audio input for transmitting PCM compressed audio signals.
The audio quality has maximum fidelity, without gaps or interference of any kind.
The audio is reproduced on the remote PC perfectly in sync with the video images, without any delays or echoes caused by IP transmission.

Video conference

All cameras connected to video servers can be used for video conference. Up to 10 colleagues can talk to each other with no need of personal computers.

PTZ control for speed dome cameras

Speed dome Video servers come with an RS485 port in order to control speed dome cameras via Internet Explorer. The most common communication protocols PELCO P/D are included for perfect compatibility with VSE speed dome cameras.

Password protection
