What is GV-Recording Server?
• It is designed to handle the heavy lifting for large-scale systems. Instead of each user connecting directly to a camera (which slows down the camera and eats bandwidth), everyone connects to the Recording Server.
GeoVision GV-Recording Server: Large-Scale Video Management
The GV-Recording Server is a professional video streaming and management solution built for high-density surveillance environments. It acts as a powerful Video Gateway, sitting between hundreds of IP cameras and the users who need to view them.
• Massive Scalability: Supports recording for up to 256 channels.
• Efficient Distribution: Can stream video to up to 600 clients simultaneously.
• System Performance: Significantly reduces the CPU load and bandwidth strain on individual IP cameras.
