Edition 7, Week of October 3, 2011
VNS is expanding it's PoE enabled NVRs to include a 4-port version of the VP products. The new 4-port
embedded PoE switch is powered by the in NVR power supply and comes with the same storage options
and form factor as our 8-port NVR. In addition to the VP Series Products we are now making the embedded
PoE switches available to our Custom Product Lines. This first 4-port PoE system shipped this week into a
video conferencing application. Check out the updated data sheet and be sure to stay tuned for news on
this exciting product line in the coming weeks.
Edition 6, Week of September 19, 2011
This week the annual ASIS trade show is taking place in Orlando. At the show VNS will have two VX series
NVRs in the Veracity booth. The VX series products are optimized for use with Veracity's external storage
system: COLDSTORE. One of the NVRs will be running Genetec's Omnicast Video Management Software
while the other one will be running OnSSI's Ocularis along with Solaretec's Phoenix software. More
information on the VX series products can be found here. These low power, small form factors are an
excellent match to the low power COLDSTORE architecture. Be sure to stop by and see these systems in
action and tell them... VNS sent you.
Edition 5, Week of September 5, 2011
This week we have updated the PoE enabled NVR data sheet to add a storage selection guide. Simply
estimate the amount of storage you expect for your application, go down the column until you find the
desired days of storage and the row heading will give the amount of storage needed - rounded to 1 TB, 2TB
or 4 TB. This storage number can then be used as for ordering. Visit the Modular Standard Products Page
to download the data sheet.
Edition 4, Week of August 29, 2011
This week VNS is making our Motion Estimation Tool available for down load on our web site. This tool has
been part of our NVR Configuration Assistant and we are now making it a stand alone application available
to all visitors. Please visit our Tools page (linked to from our Products page) for more information on the
tool and to down load it for your own use.
Edition 3, Week of August 22, 2011
This week VNS is releasing our first Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) enabled Network Video Recorder. The NVR
comes in a desktop form factor with a convenient carrying handle and an embedded 8 port PoE switch. The
switch looks like a LAN port and has been configured with a 192.168.1.1 static IP address before shipping.
The VP108 has been developed with megapixel cameras in mind so when used with 1080p cameras the 8
port system can support the same viewing area as 54 channel DVR (with 4CIF analog cameras). You'll find
the VP series data sheet on the Modular Standard Products page.
Edition 2, Week of August 1, 2011
This past week VNS extended it's foot print in K-12 schools with the shipment of systems to a national
integrator for installation in 4 school buildings. These systems were part of our custom configured product
line and had 8 TB of raw storage with 3 types of RAID arrays - RAID 1, RAID 5 and RAID 10. We started out
with our Configuration Assistant and the camera parameters provided. Then working with our sales
channel, the integrator and the VMS (Video Management Software) provider a solution was tailored to meet
all stake holder needs within the given budget.
Next week is the annual Rally in Sturgis South Dakota. Once again, a VNS NVR will be providing the
command, control and recording for the IP cameras at the Full Throttle Saloon (the worlds largest Biker Bar)
through our customer Clearwater Consulting with whom we have been working with for over 5 years. If you
plan on attending be sure to check out the Full Throttle. If you can't make it you can get an idea of what you
missed from the TruTV series at www.trutv.com/shows/full_throttle_saloon/index.html.
Edition 1, Week of July 24, 2011
Well the news this week is pretty obvious - we have an all new web site. We have changed the layout,
retooled our logo, added new information and filled in some of the gaps our customers have identified. Our
objective was to make the site simple, easy to navigate and informative so that you can get in, find the
information you need and get on with your work. As such, you'll notice that the layout is clear, concise and
devoid of distractions that don't inform. One of the key changes is how we have laid out the Products page
with a "wheel of products" symbol where each spoke is a different product line now with its own page of
information. Data sheets for each of the products are easy to find and we've included for the first time our
Viewing Station products which allow users to view video across multiple monitors. Also new to the site is
a search function, information regarding our OEM program, insight into our NVR Configuration Tool, an
External Storage NVR and a list of some example installations using VNS SurVIS solutions.
