We are pleased to announce that our HVR for the Secure-I cloud based hosted video security cam service has been updated. The HVR mobile app now offers full support for AXIS Video Encoders.
This development extends on the compatibility with AXIS Network Cams and now enables you to use older analogue based cameras via an AXIS Video Encoder box and still enjoy the Mobile viewing benefits of Cloud based security monitoring and recording.
Cameras connect to a user account service hosted in the cloud. Mobile viewer apps connect to the same user account to view live cameras and recordings. This type of service is known by many names, for example: VSaaS, (Video surveillance as a Service) AVHS (AXIS Video Hosting Service), HVR (Hosted Video Recording), VSP (Video Surveillance Provider), MVS (Managed Video Service).
A major advantage of a VHS system is that there is no need to open a port on your LAN. This makes it idea for locations where the It manager will never agree to open a Port – Doctors surgeries for example. It is also idea for businesses with multiple locations, for example franchise businesses. Storage of the recorded Video is offsite and this feature also provides some key advantages.

Number 1: Cloud
Cameras within a LAN connect to a CMS (for example AXIS Camera Station). Custom built Mobile Apps are required to connect to specific CMS software. Mobile apps can connect to a CMS system via an open Port. These systems can be very large and suit installations up and above 100 cameras.

Many stand alone network cameras are set up this way. Each camera is assigned an IP address, generally hosted from within a LAN. Viewers connect to the camera by inputting the IP address details in a mobile app such as “Viewer for AXIS Cams” or “D-Link Cams”. A port in the LAN needs to set to Open and the camera needs to be Port Forwarded if it is to be viewed from a mobile device outside the LAN. This sort of set up is ideal for installations with up to 16 cameras.
