How the video-server worksEasy 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) 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) 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) 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 featuresDual-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 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 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 The remote access to videos and configuration is password protected in order to avoid unwanted access. DDNS You wish to watch your cameras over the Internet, but you have no fixed IP address? No problem. VSE IP video servers support the most common DDNS services like DynDNS.org
PPPoE Straight connection to ADSL modem (VRN-S6901E only) Integrating the PPPoE protocol the VRN-S6901E video server can be connected straight to an ADSL modem and log-in to the Internet without the need of other equipments like PC or routers.
This is useful if you wish to create stand-alone surveillance spots that just need an ADSL cable to connect to the world (e.g. CCTV in public sites). Motion detection and E-mail/FTP notification IP video server include motion detection analysis and can start an alarm in case an intruder brake-in.
In case of alarm, the unit can switch a local alarm output and send pictures or videos via e-mail or FTP protocol. Pictures and videos can also be uploaded regularly on a time base for example to update a web site page. Alarm I/O Video servers come with 1 alarm input and 1 alarm output.
Inputs can be used to connect alarm contact and sensors. Outputs can activate other equipments like lights etc. in case of alarm or by manual activation from remote. Advanced WEB services (VRN-S6901E only)  The VRN-S6901E video server, the latest development of the range, includes many features which make Internet use easier and is compatible with the most advanced Web technologies. In case of alarm, generated by motion detection or external input, a video clip can be automatically uploaded to a YOUTUBE account. This is a very convenient feature to create a remote back-up video storage, easy to access from anywhere. When uploading files to YouTube you can choose to TWEET a TWITTER account in order to be informed in real time. The video server also supports the YOICS service which makes the remote access over the Internet very easy and convenient even if you don't have a static IP address or cannot set the router ports.
Recording software Unlike analogue systems that need all cameras to be connected to video-recorders, in IP CCTV the video-recording is usually operated over the network by IP surveillance software.
All VSE video servers come with a free professional NVR software for Windows XP/Vista/7 to watch and record up to 16 cameras.
The video-recording software supplied with the VRN-S6901E is also suitable for all VSE H.264 megapixel IP cameras. The software include many control features like: - AUTO CONFIGURATION — The program searches for VSE video servers within the network and configure them automatically.
- ADVANCED MONITORING — Monitoring screen can be configured and you can set zoom and play speed when watching the cameras.
- SCHEDULED RECORDING — With programmable weekly scheduler.
- MOTION DETECTION — To start recording in case of intrusion.
- ADVANCED SEARCHING — Time-line based searching make video management easy and convenient.
VSE video servers are also compatible with most multi-protocol IP recording software on the market. Get more info by clicking on the title. To install the latest version of Adobe Reader, please click here. Discount: - 10% Availability: 2-3 business days | 
EBAY LISTINGS
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.
