Veracity promotes direct-to-disk video storage

Veracity, a leading provider of innovative, intelligent solutions that solve real-world IP video challenges in transmission, storage and display, will be promoting the unique benefits of TRINITY and its simplified system architecture which records IP video directly from camera to COLDSTORE, a surveillance storage system, uniquely and specifically designed for video surveillance.

Open platform cameras are generally aimed at supporting video analytics applications but are, with the right software, capable of much more. Veracity has developed dedicated software for such cameras which writes video, audio and meta-data directly to a hard disk array. This "direct-to-disk" concept completely removes the need for NVR servers resulting in substantial savings on server hardware and NVR software licences whilst simultaneously reducing system complexity and increasing system resilience.

TRINITY is made possible by the combination of Veracity's advanced camera code and the COLDSTORE surveillance storage system, uniquely and specifically designed for video surveillance. The lifetime cost of system ownership is further reduced, thanks to the increased disk reliability of COLDSTORE by a factor of 20, and it's very low power consumption at 0.5W per TB.

The recordings can be played back by Veracity's own VIEWPOINT Player utility or, more significantly, by any third-party PSIM or VMS front-end system which incorporates the simple TRINITY Media SDK. Example PSIMs which are integrated with TRINITY include ISM, Meyertech, Visual Management Systems, i-Comply and Synectics.

The result is a simplified, serverless, robust, highly scalable and very cost-effective video management system with innovative features such as camera-level fail-over, optional dual-stream or redundant recording, resilience to network interruptions via internal camera recording, and all the existing benefits of the highly successful and award-winning COLDSTORE surveillance storage system.
