THE DAWN OF A NEW ERA BCDVideo changes the landscape in small project video recording. RAID support and on-site warranties at competitive prices. Northbrook, IL – BCDVideo, the manufacturer for industry-leading video surveillance hardware, announced the latest innovation to their server storage line: the Aurora Server Series. Taken from the Latin term for “dawn,” they mark the dawn of a new era in DVR replacement video recording systems. Traditionally, systems for the small project market were built based on hitting a particular price point, with performance as an after-thought. These new systems were built to fill a void in that small project market: economically-priced, enterprise-featured video recording systems. The Aurora systems alter the landscape on video recorders - in both price and performance.
No one should have to settle for ‘just another box’. The market is already pretty cluttered with those. The days of sacrificing important features such as redundancy and true drive protection for price are over.” Said Jeff Burgess, BCDVideo president. “Superior technological advantages have finally come to the under-50 camera market. We know, because we just delivered it. In today’s world, all surveillance video should be considered critical data, regardless of the number of cameras. The Aurora series is different than any on the market. These systems are built specifically for the under 50-camera marketplace, but with system throughput of over 400Mbps, they possess the bandwidth capabilities to easily scale to 100 cameras. They also bring features never before seen in small-budget projects such
as redundant power, 12Gb/s RAID controller with 2GB of Flash Based Write Cache, hotpluggable hard drives, and server-grade CPU’s with 10000 PassMark® rating. The Aurora Series delivers big-project features, while maintaining the price points required for the small-project market. A key element within these video recorders is BCDVideo’s use of HGST helium drives. Success in adapting this technology to the budget-friendly space was a crucial for product development. “The helium hard drives are an exciting upgrade. These drives double the performance of the 24x7 drive, which doubles the PC drive.” offers Tom Larson, BCDVideo’s Director of Sales and Engineering. “We wanted to engineer a series with features found on our Nova Series. It was challenging for us to bring new technology in and deliver it into a market that buys primarily on price. We definitely succeeded.” The Aurora Series consists of tower and rack-mount units allows up to 120TB of total storage, with RAID5/6 protection and includes a worldwide, five-year, on-site, next business day warranty.
