Modern Security Solutions Leverage IP Power

May 17, 2005—London—Modern Security Solutions, Wiltshire-based manufacturer of network digital video recorders (NDVRs) keeps well abreast of two rapidly developing technologies: IP and digital cameras, and their products demonstrate the synergy of that approach. The AFIANT IP, for digital security networks, fully supports advanced camera features such as Pan/Tilt/Zoom, allowing users to combine the system-level functionality and convenience of networks and Internet with the superior image resolution of digital video.

The near-universal deployment of standardized network infrastructures now gives homes, small businesses and branch offices ready access to the same advanced digital security surveillance used in large enterprises. The Afiant IP NDVR is the ideal management tool for such a system, specifically engineered to integrate into the local network of a small-to-medium business or branch location. Its full support of the latest developments such as P/T/Z gives users precise control over cameras on the network, whether they are downstairs, around the block or across the country.

Increasingly, the public is aware of the full range of CCTV now available. AFIANT IP makes monitoring of sites such as car parks, recreation areas, and petrol stations an affordable reality. The user interface is easy to understand, and installation and configuration of the software can be completed in 15 minutes. “We knew our network clients would require the same easy installation and intuitive dashboard for surveillance management they are accustomed to from other network peripherals, such as printers and modems,” states Andrew Jones, managing director of Modern Security Solutions.

AFIANT NDVRs utilize the extremely stable Linux platform. Linux reliability, coupled with the convenience of online access and network control, forms the foundation of Modern Security Solutions. As the quality and functionality of CCTV continues to improve, and networks continue to spread, Modern Security Solutions is ideally positioned to make available the full range of scalability and features obtainable in a video security solution.
