Tsunami

Full Featured Video Server Software

Tsunami is the software suite that is the heart of all Tempest digital video recorders. Built on top of an embedded Linux operating system, Tsunami combines speed and reliability with an extensive feature set and unparalleled ease of use.

Tsunami supports hybrid capture and record from regular analog cameras, PTZ cameras, network cameras, and multi-megapixel firewire cameras. Employing proprietary MPEG4 derivative compression algorithms, Tsunami delivers small file sizes and is capable of recording up to 480 fps at 640X480.

The Tsunami software is also capable of streaming over the network at up to 100 concurrent video and audio connections. Tsunami offers hexaplex operation, which allows for simultaneous live display, recording, playback, network access, backup, and configuration.
