Grandstream Interoperability of GXV IP Video Cameras with Bluecherry Digital Video Recording

  • Dec 16, 2011

Grandstream Networks, manufacturer of IP voice/video telephony and video surveillance solutions, and Bluecherry, an Ubuntu Linux-based surveillance application that supports both IP and analog cameras, recently announced the successful completion of interoperability testing between Grandstream’s ONVIF-compliant IP video surveillance cameras and Bluecherry’s DVR software. Residential and small business customers can now add Grandstream’s complete family of GXV36xx Series IP Cameras and GXV35xx IP video encoders to Bluecherry DVR solutions. 

"Following requests from our customers to add Grandstream cameras to Bluecherry video surveillance solutions, we completed an effortless testing and certification process,” said Curtis Hall, founder of Bluecherry. "Adding Grandstream cameras with our Linux-based digital recorder/surveillance solutions allows us to expand our offerings as well as offer an affordable, feature-rich and high usability solution that is crucial to the safety and financial success of any organization. Grandstream was responsive and provided all the documentation and technical assistance we needed to quickly add the Grandstream product line to our latest product release.”

To meet the varying application needs of customers for high definition/low light conditions, Grandstream cameras range from CMOS IP, fixed dome, cube cameras and more. Grandstream’s line of award-winning IP video surveillance solutions deliver crisp, clear picture quality, rich telephony features, full compliance with industry standards and broad interoperability with most service providers and 3rd party SIP based VoIP products.

“We are pleased to extend our cameras to the community of businesses basing their technology platform and applications on the power and flexibility of Linux,” said David Li, CEO of Grandstream Networks. “Business security is very valuable, however, that doesn’t mean a video surveillance solution has to be cost prohibitive.  Together with Bluecherry, we can help customers build better than ever video surveillance solutions that are reliable, packed with features and highly affordable.”

  • 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.
