It has become clear in the previous years that the growth of IP based security and video surveillance systems are unstoppable. As a result of this changing need a large number of players became active on this market segment. These players include new players as well as established companies, which introduced an IP based video portfolio. From a management point of view it becomes increasingly important to utilize a uniform platform to handle all the different systems in the same way. Deployment of the right technology enables users to realize this goal.

It is very important that software companies have the vision that software and technology must support users and are not there for the technology as such. The video management software is designed to view, record and retrieve video information and offers functionality and features to manage network camera and video servers. The software must offer ease of use without the need for intensive training sessions. People who use technology do not have bordered by technology. In other words: software must be simply applicable and the software in combination with underlying hardware and network infrastructure cannot lead to restrictions.

Advanced new technology is there to serve security management goals of organizations. Key focus points thereby are scalability, reliability, flexibility, resources and the possibility to modify the settings of the software towards changing needs or availability of newer technology.
