Keep More Footage,Spend Less on Storage.
Extend retention without losing resolution. H.264/H.265 compression and deduplication shrink storage, while retention policies, cloud storage and failover keep evidence safe.
- H.264 / H.265 compression, no resolution loss
- Deduplication of frozen and repeated frames
- Retention policies with auto-overwrite

Compression
Compress archives to H.264/H.265 for long-term storage without resolution loss.
Deduplication
Detects frozen streams and removes repeated frames to save storage.
Retention Policies
Keep footage as long as you need, with automatic overwrite of the oldest.
On-prem, NAS & Cloud
Record to local servers, password-protected NAS/SAN or cloud storage.
Failover
Standby recording, directory and role servers take over automatically.
