User friendly HD-Video Surveillance Software specially developed to support MultiMegapixel cameras and extreme fast event search

MULTIEYE-NET Software Network Videorecorder- and Management Software
Future proof, multi-functional, modular and scaleable. With MULTIEYE-NET software you will get a highly professional PC- and server-based video surveillance software (NVR = Network Video Recorder) with 2 – 32 IP video channels.

Regardless of the number of channels MULTIEYE-NET offers beside other features live-monitoring, recording, playback and remote surveillance. The software supports more than 800 of the most popular IP-cameras and videoservers from 80 different manufacturers and enables a fast and easy integration of cameras by automatic detection of the camera IP addresses on the network and maximum flexibility.

The activation of additional IP video channels is very flexible with the IP-1 or IP-4 licenses (extending to 1 or 4 channels) up to 32 channels per recorder.

In combination with the MULTIEYE VideoCenter III software projects with 1000+ cameras can be realized.

MULTIEYE-NET is an innovative and multifunctional software which, by its modular design, can be always modernized and adjusted to the customer-specific requirements.

The MULTIEYE software is based on technologies developed by artec technologies AG:
 

• The patented CVoD process makes event-related, time-shifted playback witin networks.
• With the DirectStream technology, IP video data is recorded and processed directly. As a result, recording rates up to 800 fps and image data processing rates of up to 2.500 megapixels/second per recorder/server can be achieved. 
• The MD indexing procedure enables ultrafast smart video analysis of recorded data, via networks as well.
• With the remote bandwidth throttle optimisation, video data is optimized in such a way that even megapixel cameras can be monitored via DSL lines, yet zoomed-in areas retain their maximum resolution when transmitted. 

Included in delivery of the MULTIEYE-NET is the software on USB stick (user’s manual and marketing material etc.),  Quick Installation Guide and a USB-license dongle.

The MULTIEYE-NET software is the basic software of all MULTIEYE products. All functionalities are identical for all recorders (NVR/HYBRID, SmartWatch and GreenWatch) and for the DVR-Kits.
