S2 Security video management family expands to hybrid NVR

S2 Security Corporation (S2), the leader in IP-based integrated physical security systems, introduced S2 NetVR 500, a hybrid IP and analog video server network appliance. S2 NetVR 500 is the newest addition to the S2 NetVR series of video management systems (VMS) and follows the release over the summer of the NetVR 100, S2's all-IP model.

Each new addition to the VR series expands the range of applications available to enterprise customers mentioned John L. Moss, CEO, S2 Security. With the NetVR 500, users of legacy systems can tap into the advanced, integrated SMS and VMS, as well as their Forensic Desktop search tools.

As a hybrid analog/IP appliance, the NetVR 500 allows users to leverage their existing analog investment, including cameras, associated cables and hardware. The NetVR 500 supports 16 or 32 analog video cameras, plus up to 64 IP cameras.

S2's NetVR products provide advanced video forensics and tight integrated access control and video monitoring for users of the S2 NetBox, S2 Enterprise and S2 Global products. Real-time video surveillance has been integrated into the Monitoring Desktop and Widget Desktop through a common web browser. The home page can display a single camera or multi-camera views. For larger installations, multiple NetVRs can be linked to a single S2 network controller.
