Smavia, Dallmeier's intelligent recording technology

Dallmeier, fabricante de tecnología de videoseguridad profesional y de sistemas de videovigilancia IP basadas en la red, offers the Smavia software, which allows the recording of images in a wide variety of codecs and on a broad range of hardware platforms.

Dallmeier has launched the Smavia solution on the market, which 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 standard definitions, Smavia is also compatible with Full HD (1080p) and up to 8 megapixels.

“For the first time in the history of our company, we are in a position to market our expertise in the field of recording technology independent of any specific hardware platform: Smavia is available for purchase in a variant of “only software”. As its name indicates, customers only buy the software – what the software includes, both recording and management – and then it can be installed on their own servers. Besides, there are special devices, that is to say, Dallmeier hardware platforms, on which the software has already been preloaded “, the company has pointed out.

Independent or preloaded software

The 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 management software Smavia Viewing Client offers the perfect interface for comfortable processing of live and recorded images. Together with the SeMSy Security Management System, Smavia supports cascaded recording systems with 2.000 video channels.

ONVIF compatibility and the PRemote-HD function

A standout feature of Smavia is its ONVIF compatibility: ONVIF-compatible cameras can be configured and recorded with Smavia.

Smavia is also compatible with the PRemote-HD function, a method developed by Dallmeier that uses transcoding to allow the transmission of HD and megapixel streams even at low bandwidths. PRemote-HD es particularmente útil para lugares donde las imágenes deben ser grabadas en la más alta calidad, pero tienen sólo una red de bajo ancho de banda disponible, por ejemplo las redes DSL con una velocidad de 128 kbit. A diferencia de los métodos de transmisión estándar, tales como transmisión de doble flujo que permiten al usuario cambiar sólo los ajustes de calidad para la transmisión de imágenes en vivo, PRemote-HD también ofrece una transmisión de ancho de banda de ahorro de las imágenes grabadas. Therefore, no sólo es posible visualizar imágenes en vivo, sino también evaluar grabaciones sobre grandes distancias en mayor resolución.
