Spectra Logic Unveiling NVR3

Spectra Logic Corporation unveiled a new global division: Spectra Video Surveillance, and simultaneously announced Spectra NVR3, an integrated video management software (VMS) with intelligent analytics and multi-tiered storage.

“Many industries utilise video surveillance for a variety of reasons, and today these projects include vast amounts of higher resolution cameras, more video footage and legal requirements that mandate its archival for years,” said Brian Grainger, chief sales officer, Spectra Logic. “This market moves at unprecedented speed and operates within stringent guidelines. Our new unit, Spectra Video Surveillance and newest product, Spectra NVR3, are natural next steps to help our clients stay ahead.”

Spectra NVR3, is a purpose built,  video management software combined with long-term retention. It is an integrated video management solution to include a feature rich VMS, analytics software and tiered storage – eliminating any unnecessary complexities associated with using multiple vendor solutions. With an intuitive user friendly interface, NVR3, allows customers to live view, manage, analyse, record, retain and retrieve surveillance video. NVR3 is optimised for mission critical functions and provides the highest levels of data assurance combined with easy to use surveillance video management.

NVR3 overview:

• Integrated enterprise video management solution includes a performance server, digital tape library, and a full feature VMS.

• Scales to accommodate unlimited cameras, increasing bandwidth requirements, and long term video retention mandates.

• Tiered storage allows for 100% of video accessibility 100% of the time.

“With increasing resolution, the migration of analog to digital video format, and longer retention terms, rising cost of standalone video management systems, network video recorders, and disk-only storage have made video management and retention prohibitively expensive,” added Grainger. “Our NVR3solution fits seamlessly into existing infrastructures, allowing customers to affordably retain petabytes of video content, indefinitely.“
