Overview
VIVOTEK VS8100-v2 is a small-sized H.264 1-CH video server that helps you migrate from analog
to digital surveillance system with ease. Its power sharing with CCTV and tiny design make it ideal
for front-end installation and surveillance applications such as home, offices, retail stores, banks,
and city surveillance, where their power supply and IP network connections are already settled.
VS8100-v2 supports a variety types of analog cameras, including PTZ cameras with its Pan/Tilt/
Zoom control through the built-in RS-485 port.
With the high-performance H.264 compression format, it drastically reduces the file sizes and
conserves valuable bandwidth and storage space. Supporting simultaneous multiple streams, the
video streams can be transmitted in either H.264 or MJPEG formats for versatile applications. The
streams can also be individually configured with separate frame rates, resolution, and image quality
so as to meet different platforms or bandwidth constraints.
When coupled with VIVOTEK’s Smart Stream II technology, the VS8100-v2 can reduce both
bandwidth and storage consumption by up to 50%*.
Together with the VAST multi-channel recording software, users can set up an easy-to-use IP
surveillance system with ease. VIVOTEK also provides the smart phone application iViewer, both
for iPhone and Android phones, enabling users to monitor live video off-site.
