Recorder

Overview 

Recorders in BluSKY bridge the physical and cloud realms by working with a video Server, enabling Cameras to stream and record to the cloud. These Recorders are designed for ease of deployment, low maintenance, and cost-effectiveness, ensuring smooth video management within a Facility.

 Information:  The VPN / Remote Management Gateway and Power Management is required for solutions that include BluBØX Video Management Integration, Destination Dispatch Elevators or Person Readers. For more details please refer to the BluSKY Local Servers and Software and System Health and Monitoring presentations for more details.
