Intransa VideoAppliances are tightly integrated with leading video management systems, like Pelco Systems, as well as with IP camera vendors and access control systems.

4 Intransa Technology Labs Hundreds of physical security applications including video surveillance, access control, video analytics, cameras, DVRs, NVRs, life safety and utilities have been tested and certified with Intransa solutions through the Intransa Technology Labs. Also certified are a wide variety of imaging, IT and technology products, ensuring risk free integration with Intransa VideoAppliance. Product Profile: Intransa VideoAppliance simplifies physical security Maximum Simplicity Server/Storage Appliances are ready right out of the box. Each comes with a choice of leading VMS software (in this case, Intransa SELECT ELITE Certified Pelco Digital Sentry ) ready to be initialized and running in five minutes or less. They are ideal for 1 to 86 IP camera deployments, and a single appliance can scale from days to years of recording. Access control and video analytics products can be similarly selected, to run simultaneously with Pelco, thanks to the power of Multi-Mode. Multi-Mode is a feature of our patented Video Data Management & Retention (VDMR) technology, enabling a single Intransa VideoAppliance to replace 2, 3, 4 or more complicated commodity servers and storage hardware. Multi-Mode options are Duo-Mode (replace 2 servers and storage), Tri-Mode (replace 3) or Flex-Mode (replace 4 or more). VDMR technology also includes our patent-pending Video Surveillance Optimization (VSOP) which reduces overall storage requirements while improving performance, capacity and reliability. VDMR also includes advanced software-based RAID 5 and 6 data protection, eliminating the risk of lost video, and the unique Video System Administrator (VSA) Console graphical user interface (GUI). The VSA Console enables installation of Intransa Server/Storage Appliances in just minutes, and additional storage capacity can be just plugged in without halting recording or other operations, and without rewiring. System changes are implemented with the VSA Console GUI that operates just like a familiar camera/storage estimator and uses physical security terminology, instead of requiring knowledge of complex IT storage terminology and technology. Intransa VideoAppliance allows physical security users to choose from a wide range of different appliances depending on the application needs. This further reduces complexity, since performance and recording capacity are known in advance and eliminate most application and installation testing requirements. / Intransa, the VideoAppliance TM Company 4
