Software controlling such functions once resided on older DVR
systems. But currently, the trend is toward IP-based systems, with
those systems being managed by digital video management software.
“Because you’re dealing with an IP-based system, you have a lot
more expandability and can control the system from virtually anywhere,
as long as you can tap into the network,” says Margie Gurwin, director
of marketing for Hauppauge, NY-based Vicon Industries Inc., a developer
of digital video management systems.
