Hanwha Wisenet WAVE VMS — One Install, Three Functions
What makes WAVE different from traditional VMS platforms? Most older video management systems ship as separate pieces of software: you install a recording server, then a separate management console, then a separate viewing client — often on different machines. WAVE takes a completely different approach. When you install WAVE, the server and client bundle is […]
The AI memory grab that’s choking surveillance infrastructure supply
We are all tired of hearing about AI and about supply shortages and price increases. But it’s important to understand how we got here and why AI’s appetite for memory is starving your surveillance supply chain. If you’ve noticed memory and storage getting harder to source and more expensive to buy, you’re not imagining things. The […]
The Right Windows OS for Your Video Surveillance Infrastructure
Just like Arxys does not use general purpose servers for video surveillance, we also don’t use general purpose Windows OS’s. Every Arxys server and workstation always ships with the LTSC (now known as IOT) custom version of Windows OS. Whether desktop or Server OS both have the same core benefits. LTSC (Long-Term Servicing Channel) is a […]
Convergence of Physical Security and OT Cybersecurity
Physical security systems have become deeply integrated with operational technology (OT) and enterprise IT networks. At the center of this convergence is the video server running the video management system (VMS). No longer a passive recorder, the video server is a critical OT cyber asset responsible for ingesting, processing, storing, and transmitting sensitive operational and […]
AV1 Adoption in Physical Security & Video Surveillance: Industry Impact
Codec Evolution & Technical Advantages AV1 (AOMedia Video 1) is a royalty-free, next-generation video compression standard developed by the Alliance for Open Media to address the efficiency limits and licensing complexity of H.264 and H.265. Between 2025 and 2027, AV1 transitions from early adoption into practical deployment as surveillance systems increasingly demand higher resolutions, longer retention, […]
Milestone vs. Avigilon: How H.265 Processing Reveals the Real Power of AMD EPYC Servers
Milestone vs. Avigilon: How H.265 Processing Drives Real World Performance H.265 video decoding has transformed the bandwidth and storage equation for surveillance systems — but it has also exposed the weaknesses of outdated CPU architectures. Video Management Systems (VMS) like Milestone XProtect and Avigilon Control Center (ACC) both support the H.265 CODEC, yet they handle stream processing in very different […]
Market Momentum and the changing of the guard
why the market is moving surveillance servers to AMD EPYC systems. Bottom line: prioritize Arxys VideoX EPYC-based SKUs in your server configurations. whether for H.264 or H.265-heavy and analytics-heavy deployments. Doing so gives you: See how much more you can get with Arxys VideoX V5 servers
How Chiplet CPU Architecture Revolutionizes Video Surveillance Performance and Efficiency
Chiplet microarchitecture represents a major leap forward in CPU design, replacing the old monolithic approach with a flexible, modular layout that connects multiple smaller dies, or “chiplets,” within one processor package. Each chiplet is a self-contained unit dedicated to specific tasks such as compute, I/O, or cache management, interconnected by a high-speed fabric. This approach […]
VideoX V5 Drives Breakthrough h.265 Performance
The Math Required To Perform H.265 Decoding for Video Motion Detection And Video Analytics is Intense. H.265 (HEVC) delivers ~40–50% bitrate reduction vs. H.264 (AVC), but that efficiency comes at a steep computational cost. h.265 achieves compression gains through more complex transforms (up to 35 intra prediction modes vs 9 in H.264), larger coding tree […]
Why is Using H.265 CODEC Crushing Your Video Surveillance System?
H.265 has been floating around for a long time in video surveillance. It promises greatly reduced bandwidth and decent storage savings which are attractive. So why hasn’t it taken off? And why is it still so problematic? The math is mathing. H.265 (HEVC) delivers ~40–50% bitrate reduction compared to H.264 (AVC) for the same perceptual […]
