VDS (Video Data Server)

Video Data Servers provide a networked video data archive, allowing authorised Surveillance Control Stations to replay or download historic data (typically: from a few seconds, to many months old). VDS’s can be employed to provide a data backup to increase system availability. They are used particularly where the primary CIS may be at risk from criminal damage or where radio networks may be temporarily unavailable. On larger systems they provide extended data storage for archive material and video data distribution that otherwise may be overwritten at a CIS.
