LAS VEGAS — Tyco Security Products unveiled a broad array of new offerings at ISC West, among them American Dynamics’ latest release of its VideoEdge network video management system (VMS) with a feature set especially designed for the enterprise space. The latest release adds a new transcoding engine that provides 14 video streams per NVR for frugal bandwidth utilization as well as CPU resource optimization and memory usage. This capability allows users to pool NVRs to provide up to 84 H.264 video streams per NVR cluster without the need for any dedicated transcoding server, something AD claims no other network VMS can do.
