What is better, multiple stand alone systems or an enterprise system for my multi-site coverage needs?
A. An enterprise system offers a couple of advantages over multiple stand-alone systems. An enterprise system provides for greater flexibility in how it is configured – typically any camera from any server can be viewed/managed by any user within the enterprise. An enterprise system provides for a true single logon where many stacked DVR type systems may have a single logon interface, but in fact that is a front end to multiple logons. An enterprise system can be managed from any single point within the architecture. Finally, typically, it is loss costly to deploy an enterprise system over multiple sites than single standalone, especially when systems management is taken into consideration. For small, simple installations where a true single architecture is not required, standalone DVRs or NVRs can work fine but the organization must understand their limitations.
