August 13, 2007 — CoVi Technologies, the high-definition video surveillance company, recently introduced its first Distributed Media Manager that supports third-party IP cameras. The DMM-2000 is an intelligent video recorder, stream server, and video information manager designed to work seamlessly with the Sony IPELA camera line. Up to two Sony cameras can be connected to a single DMM-2000, and video, live or recorded, can be streamed to multiple users simultaneously.
CoVi says its DMMs are unique in their ability to deliver recorded video as good as live, whereas other solutions downgrade the quality of video to enable transport and storage. Each DMM operates at the edge of the network and provides dedicated processing and storage capacity for individual surveillance cameras.
According to CoVi, the ability of the DMM-2000 to support Sony’s IPELA video surveillance cameras significantly expands the market for CoVi IP-based Security Camera Area Networks (SCANs) in a wide range of commercial, industrial, and governmental environments where IP security cameras are widely used today. CoVi plans to provide support for a wide range of other leading third-party IP cameras in the future.
CoVi SCAN is used for the deployment of video surveillance over IP networks. It reportedly allows high- bandwidth video to run efficiently on existing data networks without requiring expensive infrastructure upgrades or a separate network. With CoVi SCAN, surveillance video can be transported, stored, recorded, and accessed without compromising either the video quality or the network performance, claims CoVi.
