Overview

VK-64 is software that allows you to view and record images transmitted from the

Network Camera Server VB150/VB101 and Network Camera VB-C50i/VB-C50iR/

VB-C10/VB-C10R (hereafter referred to as ‘Camera Servers’). The software can

support up to 64 cameras via an IP network such as a LAN, or up to 16 cameras for

Network Video Recorder VK-16 v1.1.

VK-64 consists of two applications: Storage Server that lets you record video from

multiple camera servers and save event information (sensor and motion-detection

inputs); and Viewer that lets you view live video from multiple Camera Servers and

playback recorded video stored on Storage Servers.

Video resolution can be as high as 640 x 480 pixels, 30 fps for NTSC and 768 x 576

pixels, 25fps for PAL (depending on Camera Servers installed).

The following table shows each product and license number:
