Competitive Study: Open Platform IP Video Management Software
Summary
On the surface, many IP video management software products look very similar. A core set of video viewing and recording functions for network cameras and video servers have become widely implemented across many software products. Basic GUI features to select live video feeds, control pan-tilt cameras and export recorded video to CD are universally expected.
Many of the biggest product differentiators lie below the surface of the user interface. Product differentiators include scalability, network management, fault tolerance, “thin” versus “fat” clients and the use of standards that integrate with existing network infrastructures.
NetVideo Consulting’s competitive study provides a comprehensive product review of the leading IP video management software products that support multiple manufacturers of network cameras and video servers.
The report includes a background white paper on the role of software in IP video architectures.
Individual product reviews provide detail on market share, price, features and measured performance in key functional categories.
The report is organized into individual product reviews and comparative matrices on features performance and price.
The report is based on an independent lab evaluation and objective assessment of the software features and performance of each product. All software products in this report were installed, tested and evaluated at NetVideo Consulting’s network video laboratory. Additional background information was collected from interviews with company representatives.
