Restrictions

Terms such as “any”, “individual” or “unlimited” used in the descriptions mean that no deliberate restrictions have been programmed or technically specified in the system. However, they also mean that in reality, not every arbitrary combination or expression of the described features is possible - if the combination is not technically possible, not reasonable, or limited by the circumstances. Some features require specialized hardware that is individually selected for each project.

Performance limits

Due to the system’s open design, performance limits must be evaluated on a project-by-project basis. For example, recording network streams with superimposed watermarks and blacked-out or blurred areas requires considerably more resources than recording the native, AMC-based video feeds from Axis cameras. Almost any system scaling is possible by the interconnection of multiple VideoSyncPro Studio systems.

System Requirements

The minimum hardware requirements for Mangold VideoSyncPro Studio largely depend on the number of simultaneously recorded cameras. The following requirements are guidelines; actual requirements may vary. Sufficient local (hard drive) storage is required to store your recordings, ideally on an SSD. The space required depends on various factors: • The number of Videos recorded per session. • The length of the recorded sessions. • The resolution of the cameras. • The amount of motion that occurs in front of the cameras during a recording session.
