Alpha Sentry Surveillance
Highly scalable network-based surveillance system
Product Overview
Alpha Sentry Software is a highly scalable network-based video surveillance system. Our surveillance and object protection software runs on industry-standard servers which store video coming from the cameras. The video travels over standard computer networks, and the software is compatible with most major camera manufacturers and networking equipment. Our system runs on non-proprietary equipment and infrastructure, making it easy to integrate and maintain.
Advantages
- All support based in the USA
- No user licensing fees
- Replaces antiquated VCR and DVR systems
- Runs on an industry standard server with no proprietary hardware
- Contains no proprietary video compression algorithms
- Video can be exported and is playable with common video players
- Users can view and save camera recordings and images on their PCs and mobile devices
How it works
OPEN ARCHITECHTURE SYSTEM
Our system architecture is the most flexible on the market
- Non-proprietary architecture
- Uses industry-standard servers (Dell, HP)
- Uses industry-standard operating systems like SUSE Linux and Windows servers
- Compatible with most major camera manufacturers and networking equipment
Cameras
Our system supports both analog and digital cameras and is compatible with most major camera manufacturers. This gives you the flexibility to use existing cameras or integrate new cameras seamlessly into one video network. The Alpha Sentry Software allows for unique camera settings for each camera installed, such as image capture rates, resolution settings and compression settings.
Among the camera-types supported:
- PTZ (Pan/Tilt/Zoom)
- Fixed
- High-speed
- High-resolution
- Infrared
Video Network
The system supports most wired network architecture, including fiber optic and ethernet. Existing CCTV systems can continue to use existing wiring, including coaxial cables, as well as digital computer network cables for advanced flexibility. This allows clients to use what they have already installed, limiting new infrastructure costs. To expand the system new digital cameras can be added running on standard computer network cables. Additionally, wireless architecture allows for remote installation of cameras without the high cost of cable installation.
Alpha Sentry Software Server
Alpha Sentry Software runs on a fast, tested, dependable Linux or Windows operating system on a standard server with no proprietary hardware. As images are captured, they are transmitted over the video network and stored by the server. This allows direct access to archived images and live viewing. Like all modern CCTV systems, images coming into the Alpha Sentry Software are recorded on hard drives, which can be scaled to your specific storage needs. Video and images in the system are stored for a user-defined number of days which can be manually adjusted.
Client Network
An Alpha Sentry Software server is integrated into any network that supports the TCP/IP protocol. A 100+MB network provides optimum performance, but Alpha Sentry Software can operate on slower networks as well. The speed of the client network has no effect on the capture rate or storage speed from the system’s video network. Alpha Sentry Software client performance will depend on the speed of the client network.
Alpha Sentry Software allows you the flexibility to work with Windows or Linux operating systems. This means it’s also Mac-friendly!
