D14D Camera Manual: Superior Storage Solution
SUPERIOR STORAGE SOLUTION
These days, video data is normally pre-processed and stored centrally on a PC or digital
video recorder (DVR) using video management software. Video and audio streams from
all installed cameras are directed to this central device. In this case, using high-resolution
cameras often results in data jam. Above all, storage is inecient, because if the PC has
limited computing power, the high-resolution video with a high frame rate must be sent
directly to a storage device before it can be processed.
If, like with MOBOTIX cameras, the camera adjusts the image format and the frame rate to
the correct values for the specific application (at a gas station, two frames per second are
enough for the recording), it relieves the load both of the network and of the recording device
(PC, server). MOBOTIX cameras can of course also minimize the recording independent
of the live video, and the sound channel is recorded even with video recordings of two
frames per second.
No Storage Limit
The decentralized MOBOTIX concept enables the user to save around 10 times the number
of cameras on a single storage device because the camera manages the recording
itself (on a PC, server, NAS), thus reducing load on the device. For this reason, practically
speaking, there is no memory limit for the entire system because theoretically, each
camera is able to manage its own terabyte-sized storage device via the network. Another
benefit of this concept is the use of aordable, reliable NAS drives that do not require any
special software.
