Save on storage and bandwidth

Command Recording Software helps maximize overall system performance with built-in features that can help control bandwidth and save on storage space. The VMS software’s bandwidth limiting feature lets you control the amount of bandwidth uploaded to and from the server or recorder. Options for selective video recording, video removal and the ability to set maximum retention times also help you make the most efficient use of storage resources.

Never lose video

Never worry about losing video again. Command’s innovative Shadow Archiving feature allows for seamless access to recorded video, even when the primary recording server goes down. When combined with March Networks’ IP cameras, Shadow Archiving triggers the camera or redundant server to keep recording during a network outage, and then places the “missing” video in the exact sequence where it should be.
