Razberi Launches Next Generation of IP Video Surveillance Appliances

  • Apr 07, 2016

Razberi Technologies is pleased to introduce Razberi ServerSwitchIQ, the new generation of all-in-one, intelligent IP video surveillance appliances. Built for security and engineered for performance, the Razberi ServerSwitchIQ product line is optimized to reduce the impact of megapixel cameras on the IP network. The new appliances are compatible with leading VMS and IP camera providers and represent a complete suite of video recording appliances scalable for enterprise-wide to rugged locations. All models include cloud-based cyber security and health monitoring features.

 

"Deploying Razberi ServerSwitchIQ appliances in a distributed architecture can reduce the impact on an organization's IP network by up to 95 percent," said Tom Galvin, CEO, Razberi.  "Connecting IP cameras directly to Razberi ServerSwitchIQ™ appliances not only reduces traffic on the main network, but it enables our intelligent cyber security and health monitoring toolset to proactively protect the video management system."

 

Razberi ServerSwitchIQ is a family of intelligent, all-in-one appliances that embed a managed PoE switch, server and video storage. The appliances are built with high performance Intel® CPUs and a smart, powerful Ethernet switch fabric that delivers full wire speed data and PoE Plus on every port. Built with Intel Quick Sync video technology, Razberi ServerSwitchIQ™ supports video viewing and playback through an HDMI port with full 4K compatibility, eliminating the need for a separate PC workstation. Built-in RAID storage scales from 1TB to 64TB with enterprise disk drives and a redundant power supply, providing a cost effective, reliable alternative to general purpose servers and switches.

 

"We have taken Razberi ServerSwitchIQ appliances to a new level since we pioneered and patented the industry's first NVR with an integrated PoE switch. Now much more than an NVR, the Razberi ServerSwitchIQ is a smart alternative to expensive centralized, general-purpose servers, switches and storage. Putting more horsepower in our appliances is critical to meet the demands of megapixel video management, video analytics and 4K video viewing. Our cloud-based health monitoring and cyber security capabilities give our integrators simple, but powerful tools to proactively protect the integrity of the video management system," Galvin said.

 

All Razberi ServerSwitchIQ models include intelligent features that make it easy to manage, maintain and protect appliances, evidence and IP networks from wherever you are. It comes fully equipped with cloud-based health monitoring via Razberi VyneWatch providing proactive notifications of camera issues and tampering. Razberi LocBeri provides cyber security protection with the ability to easily lock down exposed IP camera ports from hacking. All Razberi appliances are built on open architecture and certified to support world-class video management systems (VMS).

  • The Evolution of IP Camera Intelligence

    As the 30th anniversary of the IP camera approaches in 2026, it is worth reflecting on how far we have come. The first network camera, launched in 1996, delivered one frame every 17 seconds—not impressive by today’s standards, but groundbreaking at the time. It did something that no analog system could: transmit video over a standard IP network. Read Now

  • From Surveillance to Intelligence

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
