IP Surveillance NVR: GVD Launched NVR Series

The next big thing in IP surveillance solutions is here - Genius Vision Digital's (GVD) NVR system! ABP hosted a Power Launch on August 11th to showcase exactly how user-friendly and fast-driven the new NVR by GVD is. Attendees were able to have hands on experience with the high performance NVR on our impressive 4K upgraded Video Wall and saw first hand exactly how easy and compatible the system is; supporting thousands of camera brands, including MOBOTIX and Brickcom (which were presented at the Launch). In addition to the NVR, the new In-Vehicle Mobile NVR and M4 Series (for License Plate Recognition solutions) as well as the VMS, CMS and Analytics were used to learn from demos of real case studies and applications.

The GVD solution has a proprietary video indexing technology and intuitive user interface, to make scanning or searching of video extremely fast, efficient and simple. This comes into play in stressful or emergency situations, when individuals who may not be familiar with the software need to use it. But GVD's new NVR doesn't just simplify for those unfamiliar, it also provides a layer that has features much more sophisticated and advanced for the experts and specialists to utilize. GVD has always offered high performance NVR and VMS systems loved by both small and large end-users. If you're already a GVD user and advocate, you know why; If not, let us help you figure it out.

We carry multiple lighting solutions from companies like Raytec to make even the darkest corners safe and seen. Not to mention, Raytec lights have a projected 10 year lifespan and low power consumption.

Speaking of power, perhaps you're worried about power failures or interruptions? A surveillance system doesn't do anyone much good if it's not up and running. No problem, we carry Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) from Minuteman that's had a reputation of reliability and quality since 1982 to keep your system running and protected.

Keep in mind the benefits of using ABPTech's special MOBOTIX pre-formatted SD cards for your MOBOTIX cameras as well as our ABP-POE-EX2 for wiring certain camera projects. This is a single POE port that can feed 2 MOBOTIX cameras or even four when using two S15 without any additional power supply. The ABP-POE-EX2 can also be used as an inline POE Extender/ Distance booster and again it needs no local power supply.
