128 IP channels under one server
This application is very powerful for sites where large amount of IP video streaming are to be stored at one location, for later retrieval when needed. By traditional DVR/NVR designs, a site of 1,000 IP cameras may need 32 DVR/NVR units at site for view and storage (assuming each DVR/NVR supports 32 channels). With GV-Recording Sever, the number of server unit is down to 8 in this case, which saves 4 times as much space, since one GV-Recording Server receives and stores up to 128 channels from various GeoVision IP devices, including IP cameras, video servers, compact DVRs, and compatible 3rd-party IP cameras.

Simultaneously 300 channels to client sites
To playback, operator may access GV-Recording Server by IE browser from remote, or one of the supporting GeoVision management software such as GV-System (DVR/NVR system), GV-GIS (geographic information system), GV-Control Center (central monitoring system) and Multi View (viewing software). GV-Recording Server could simultaneously send up to 300 channels to these client systems, adding the flexibility for remote playback management.

Storage option for mobile devices on the go
GV-Recording Sever is also a good storage option for mobile devices on the go. When the mobile device is on 3G wireless network, most of the current storage solution is to save to the on-board or attached devices (such as SD card or external HDD). However, with GV-Recording Server, supported mobile devices (GV-Video Server, GV-Compact DVR) will stay connected to GV-Recording Server, transmitting video without needing to know the public IP addresses of the mobile devices.

Redundant for 128 IP channels
GV-Redundant Server is used when large number of IP video needed to be securely backed up as another copy to a remote location. It can record up to 128 IP channels of the connected GV-System hosts.

Surveillance-focused
As a surveillance-focused redundant server, GV-Redundant Server provides many useful ways to specifically help manage and retrieval of IP videos at large amounts. For example, connection and storage status of each IP camera, event-based notifications, filtered and searched by conditions, etc. are all designed to present in the way convenient to security professionals. In fact, same design scheme applies to GV-Recording Server in terms of intuitive operation.

No room for error
If a backup copy is needed only in case of system or network issues, GV-Failover Server will be the alternative choice. Unlike GV-Redundant Server which basically runs as a duplication of the primary server, GV-Failover Server takes over when (1) host GV-System starts up without monitoring; (2) file recycling fails; (3) error occurred in hard drive; (4) error occurred in Failover Plugin program.
