Vess A2330 is a cost-effective and reliable solution for small sized surveillance projects of up to 40 IP cameras. Vess A3340 is a 2U 8-bay NVR appliance designed for mid-sized surveillance deployments of up to 80 IP cameras and is also available with a built-in smart Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch which is managed via a web browser. The built-in PoE switch makes camera set up more flexible since without cabling issues there is more choice over camera locations and system management is much easier.

“Security professionals are faced with planning projects with tens or hundreds of high resolution IP cameras with longer retention times than ever before. This places an incredible importance on installing recording appliances that deliver high-bandwidth, low latency performance which also offer easy access to video that needs to be stored for months or even a year or more,” said John van den Elzen, GM, surveillance business unit, Promise Technology. “The new Vess solutions are custom designed for video surveillance and include unique technologies that allow them to overcome performance bottlenecks and handle a higher number of IP cameras than competing solutions. Plus, as retention times grow, Vess can easily expand to meet the new requirements of event the strictest regulations.“
