Vista has brought out a new version, 2.3, of its video management software, qulu. Also new are hardware servers from partners HP. An installer can manage and support their clients’ systems from anywhere, at any time. qulu offers an intuitive user interface, while version 2.3 has new features, including automatic fail-over; video wall and remote monitor interaction; single click, system-wide upgrades; no single point of failure; and integration with Paxton access control products.
The servers come in three models. Microserver is a small server for supporting up to 32 IP cameras and 12 TB of storage. The qulu 1 series can manage up to 128 IP cameras with up to 24TB of onboard storage; and the qulu 2 series offers a 2U rack mount chassis to manage up to 128 IP cameras with larger storage requirements of up to 66TB.
The servers all come with a three-year, next business day warranty and include Vista’s Spark feature, which helps installers recover a failed server in less than ten minutes, the makers say. Plus, it will attempt to retrieve any potentially lost recordings held locally on the server should the worst happen.
Zoe Yates, Product Manager for Vista, says: “The release of qulu 2.3 and our partnership with HP reinforces Vista’s commitment to the VMS market. Combining qulu software and HP server technology ensures that we continue to provide the best user experience solution on the market today.”
