Smavia, Dallmeier's smart recording technology

Dallmeier, manufacturer of professional videosecurity technology and network-based IP video surveillance systems, offered by Smavia software, that allows you to record images to a wide variety of codecs and a wide range of hardware platforms.

Dallmeier has launched the Smavia solution on the market, that allows the recording of images and video streams in a wide variety of compression and image transmission codecs (H.264, MPEG-4, MJPEG). In addition to the standard definitions, Smavia also supports Full HD (1080Q) and even 8 Megapixel.

“For the first time in our company's history, We are able to commercialize our expertise in the field of recording technology detached from any given hardware platform: Smavia is available for purchase in a variant of “Software only”. As the name suggests, Customers only buy the software – which includes both recording and management software – And then you can install it on your own servers. In addition, There are special devices, I mean, Dallmeier hardware platforms, where the software has already been preloaded “, the company said.

Standalone or preloaded software

Smavia recording server software can be used on a wide range of hardware platforms, either on special video recording servers made by Dallmeier or as standalone software on standard servers or PCs. Smavia is compatible with Linux and Windows.

The corresponding Smavia Viewing Client management software offers the perfect interface for convenient processing of live images and recorded images. In conjunction with the SeMSy Safety Management System, Smavia supports cascade recording systems with 2.000 video channels.

Support for ONVIF and PRemote-HD

A highlight of Smavia is its ONVIF compatibility: ONVIF-compliant cameras can be configured and recorded with Smavia.

Smavia also supports the PRemote-HD feature, a method developed by Dallmeier that uses transcoding to enable the transmission of HD and megapixel streams even at low bandwidths. PRemote-HD is particularly useful for places where images need to be recorded in the highest quality, But they have only a low-bandwidth network available, for example, DSL networks with a speed of 128 kbit. Unlike standard transmission methods, such as dual-stream streaming that allow the user to change only the quality settings for live image streaming, PRemote-HD also offers bandwidth-saving transmission of recorded images. So, Not only is it possible to view live images, but also evaluate recordings over long distances in higher resolution.
