Powerful video management software
For businesses requiring efficient, reliable video surveillance recording and storage, March Networks Command Recording Software is the ideal choice. This single-server VMS solution supports up to 3,000 cameras on Linux OS and up to 500 cameras on Windows-based systems, and features flexible licensing, so you only pay for the channels you need. Command Recording Software runs on a variety of platforms – from individual workstations, to COTS servers and large virtual machines – and is easy to set up, thanks to its convenient Configuration Wizard, which guides you through its basic functionalities in just six easy steps.
Support up to 3,000 cameras in a Linux environment
Command Recording Software grows with your business, supporting an unprecedented 3,000 IP cameras in a Linux-based OS. This scalability is ideal for large corporate headquarters and other growing enterprises. The high availability solution also ensures added peace of mind. Recording automatically switches to a standby server if recording on the primary server is interrupted.
Get a complete view of your business
Supplement your surveillance video with March Networks Searchlight™ Software and the Brickstream® 3D Gen 2 Analytics Sensor. Access powerful business analytics (e.g., people counting, queue length, and wait times), and ancillary data (e.g., POS, ATM, teller, RFID, and license plate recognition) for a unified solution.
Save on storage and bandwidth
Command Recording Software helps maximize overall system performance with built-in features that can help control bandwidth and save on storage space. The VMS software’s bandwidth limiting feature lets you control the amount of bandwidth uploaded to and from the server or recorder. Options for selective video recording, video removal and the ability to set maximum retention times also help you make the most efficient use of storage resources.
Never lose video
Never worry about losing video again. Command’s innovative Shadow Archiving feature allows for seamless access to recorded video, even when the primary recording server goes down. When combined with March Networks’ IP cameras, Shadow Archiving triggers the camera or redundant server to keep recording during a network outage, and then places the “missing” video in the exact sequence where it should be.
