Press Release Summary = QNAP Systems, Inc. has released MPEG-4 chip compression network surveillance server―VioGate-320, which supports 4-channel CIF resolution and real-time compression.

Press Release Body = Traditional surveillance system is gradually replaced by network surveillance system due to difficulties of management and operation across buildings, regions, and chain stores. Digitalized surveillance system is more advantageous in the way that it enables web UI management and instant remote
surveillance. QNAP Systems, Inc., the well-famed leading Internet Appliance (IA) products manufacturer in Taiwan, has released MPEG-4 chip compression network surveillance server―VioGate-320, which supports 4-channel CIF resolution and real-time compression. The embedded quad chip allows direct output of Video to
monitoring screen for single and quad display. VioGate-320 is embedded with Linux OS and programs for remote management, monitoring and playback by IE browser on client PC.

MPEG-4 Compression Technology Provides High Quality Surveillance
VioGate-320 adopts MPEG-4 compression chip to provide higher surveillance quality. The MPEG-4 hardware compression technology is unbeatable by any other software. VioGate-320 employs MPEG-4 technology to reduce the storage of long-term recording,
allows low-bandwidth video streaming, saves cost of data transmission, and increases smoothness of monitoring.

TV-out for Local Display
The built-in quad chip of VioGate-320 not only supports segmented display of surveillance images, but also local display, which support single and quad display mode, by analog TV directly.

Record Video on Various Platforms
VioGate-320 supports Local HDD, which is up to 200GB for recording. It also can record to remote devices, such as FTP, network attached storage (NAS), and even share folder in Windows OS. The data can be accessed directly via network from any authorized PCs. Recording modes supported are continuous, multiple schedule, manual
and event-triggered recording. The featured event-triggered recording like motion detection recording enables the server to be connected to external motion detection devices to ensure you will not miss any important recording moment!

GPIO Connectors for Hardware Integration
The four sets of alarm I/O connectors of VioGate-320 can integrate with other systems like POS, entrance guard system, and ATM. The GPIO module can also be connected to other sensors and switches to accept other system signal input, e.g. emergency button, infrared sensor, vibration sensor, to enable recording, snapshot,
sending SMS alert, displaying notifications, or triggering multiple signals to other systems.

Remote Management and Establishment of Virtual Surveillance Center
You can manage unlimited VioGate-320 and other QNAP surveillance products by using a centralized management software developed by QNAP ― VioGate Master. VioGate Master supports image browsing of up to 20 cameras in one page, as well as image
viewing and recording by multiple users simultaneously. Users can monitor more than 100 surveillance points instantly via the network and administer the system with friendly GUI. With VioGate Master, a virtual surveillance center can be established anytime, anywhere by simply access the network.
