IP Cameras with Edge Storage

Basler has started series production of their IP box cameras with edge storage functionality. From now on, all the Company’s IP Cameras will be equipped with an SD card slot. The integrated Micro- SDHC card slot provides for local data storage of up to 32GB. This functionality makes it possible to store live streams or single camera images in configurable time intervals on an SD card.

In case of a network failure, the camera acts as a backup solution by recording video streams to the SD card. When the network connection has been restored, the video management system can retrieve the data and merge it seamlessly with video footage captured before the connection was interrupted. When using an efficient encoder type such as H.264 and a highcapacity SD card, a IP Camera can independently capture and store images for an extended period of time without transmitting data back to a client. This is especially useful in remote surveillance locations, since the camera will not require any network connection.
