ISC West Scoop: Plug-And-Play Video Server

  • Feb 22, 2008

VideoProtein will formally unveil what it claims is the industry’s first IP video server at ISC West in April.

The Delray Beach, Fla.-based manufacturer has been previewing the device at various venues, including the IP User Group’s IP-in-Action Live conference Feb. 12 in Lakeland, Fla.

The product, VideoRouter, is the industry’s only auto-discovering, self-configuring video server, Paul DiBerardino, VideoProtein’s executive vice president of sales, told attendees in a presentation during the conference. Upon introduction, the device, which operates as a 2-terabyte NVR/DVR and power-over-Ethernet switch, will support IP cameras from Axis, IQinVision, Mobotix and Sony. Users and installers simply plug the cameras into the VideoRouter and the device automatically configures the network and communicates that information back to the host VideoProtein Web server, DiBerardino said.

The VideoRouter represents a major addition to VideoProtein’s product line. The company manufactures browser-based IP video management software designed to run on open-source platforms such as Linux and Sun Solaris, as well as Windows and Mac.
