SoleraTec LLC, a provider of innovative video lifecycle management and storage products, is announcing the integration of its Phoenix RSM surveillance video management software onto the WD® Sentinel™ DX4000 small office storage servers. Installing the Phoenix RSM software into the WD Sentinel NAS unit creates a feature-rich video surveillance appliance with sophisticated video management capabilities. This appliance can support up to 10 IP-cameras on a single WD Sentinel DX4000 storage solution. Coupled with SoleraTec’s intuitive video management capabilities and dynamic scalable retention, this combined solution offers extremely cost-effective video surveillance management capabilities.

Along with the industry’s widest support for nearly 2,000 IP cameras –from over 200 manufacturers– the Phoenix RSM powered WD Sentinel surveillance appliance can record motion detection levels from supported cameras, provide multi-camera live viewing, and deliver centralized management from a mix of Mac and PC client computers. This solution also supports mechanical pan/tilt/zoom (PTZ) cameras as well as digital PTZ functionality on larger resolution cameras. Each surveillance appliance can operate up to 10 digital IP-cameras at full 30-frames per second (fps), full resolution recording, as well as simultaneous live video feed monitoring.

“The WD Sentinel DX4000 is an easy-to-set-up and easy-to-manage NAS with excellent video data protection features. This creates an ideal platform to deliver the features and functionality today’s businesses are requesting in a video surveillance management solution,” stated Mark Armstrong, CEO of SoleraTec. “WD Sentinel and SoleraTec’s Phoenix RSM creates an outstanding plug and play video surveillance appliance.”

Another key advantage of the Phoenix RSM powered WD Sentinel solution is the optional support for the Milestone VMS. This module transforms the WD Sentinel DX4000 into a long-term retention and archiving expansion unit for Milestone XProtect systems. Users can now affordably "pay as you grow" and continually expand their Milestone XProtect retention and archiving needs with ease.

The SoleraTec Phoenix RSM integration within the WD Sentinel DX4000 is an excellent match for organisations needing a professional-grade video surveillance appliance to manage multiple network IP-cameras while providing scalable video retention. These affordable digital network surveillance systems are designed to simplify the surveillance recording needs of today's businesses. From jewellery stores, to convenience stores, to retail malls, to university campuses, the integration of both products can grow with any business and provide complete peace of mind.
