Scalable Video Quality Recording (SVQR)

SVQR is a technology that extends the functionality of Edge Storage and enhances the existing synergies of recording video and audio in both the camera’s Edge Storage and the XProtect VMS product’s recording server.

SVQR does this by making it possible to record high-quality video in the camera’s Edge Storage, while sending a second low-quality “reference” video stream to the XProtect VMS product’s recording server where it can be viewed and recorded.

In the event of an incident or an investigation, the initial assessment can be made using the centrally recorded low-quality reference video, while allowing the user to retrieve the high-quality video sequences from the camera’s Edge Storage when needed.

By recording high-quality video on the camera’s Edge Storage and low-quality video in the VMS recording server and given the option to retrieve the high-quality recordings only when needed, SVQR significantly reduces the network and storage requirements and cost while still providing users of the XProtect VMS products access to high-quality recordings when they need it.
