Talon DVR has introduced the Integrated Archive System (IAS) for long-term backup, a next-generation feature that addresses the changing needs of retailers and the growing utility for integrated video systems. With the Talon IAS option, the archival video storage capacity of the Talon DVR server is virtually unlimited.

“We have found that retailers are looking beyond the legacy functions of DVR systems and are looking to do more with the technology,” commented Derrell Ness, President of Ready Distribution. “Retailers are looking to their video systems to help review staffing levels, check customer service processes, study store traffic patterns and mitigate customer personal injury lawsuits. These functions sometime require months of archived video data and some retailers are looking to store several years worth of video data.”

Unlike traditional video systems, Talon DVR is focused on the needs of retailers. Talon IAS is a next generation feature that can provide benefits to retailers in areas of personnel management and risk avoidance by providing long-term video archiving.

Talon IAS provides automated video archiving on the server using hot-swap hard drives. Remote viewing is done by inserting one of the archive hard drives into a USB dock. The Talon IAS kit comes complete with the Talon Backup Viewer that allows users to retrieve archives on any Windows PC. Since the backups are going to standard SATA hard drives, the archives are fast, secure and relatively inexpensive. Retailers can add additional hard drives to keep a virtually unlimited archive of their video information.
