Standalones Catching up with PC Based Systems
Filed under: CCTV Articles, CCTV Security DVR Cards, Security DVR, Software
Well, as technology continues to move forward, one of the biggest changes I have noticed lately is that the Standalone and PC-Based DVR systems seem to keep getting closer and closer in terms of what they have to offer. Used to, if you had multiple locations and needed Central Monitoring Software, the PC based system was your only choice. And not only CMS software. If you needed to view your system on an iPhone or needed a RAID configuration and several other features, you had no choice but to purchase a PC based system.
Well, no more. I saw a stand alone system at www.apexcctv.com with all of the above features and even more. The system comes with free Central Monitoring Software already installed. Along with the CMS software, this workhorse of a unit can be configured with a RAID configuration, can be viewed with the iPhone, windows Mobile, BlackBerry and Android phones. It also has a MAC Client for viewing on an Apple computer! I have even heard that a POS system is being tested for use with this stand- alone unit. Seems the only thing the PC Based System has on this unit is the use of IP cameras. At the rate technology is moving though, can that be far behind.
