The Sentry VMS video management solution provides organizations with a complete solution including software, hardware and storage. Its purpose-built hardware platform is custom designed to withstand with rigors of 24/7 IP security applications. Increased redundancy, performance and simplicity are provided by RAID 1 storage. Sentry VMS supports all megapixel and HTDV video resolutions. The solution offers system health monitors that send alerts if a system is disturbed by power outages, cameras offline, temperatures out of range, etc.

"Our VMS systems have been deployed in over 1,000 installations," said Steve Sleicher, COO of IPVideo Corp. "Our new integration capabilities with access control systems and our C3 Fusion PSIM solution demonstrate how we continue to enhance our solutions to meet customers evolving needs."
