While video and alarms are the core features of EdgeVis (and covered in all quick start guides), EdgeVis offers a number of capabilities to enable additional use cases. This page outlines a number of features you may find useful, along with links to the relevant guides.

For users with the EVVR-4 and EVVR-4RL these encoders have the ability to transmit up to 8 streams simultaneously, across a single comms method.

Further information on enabling multiple output video streams.

SafeZone 2D is a video analytic which can detect objects entering and moving through a scene. This allows you to use event-driven recording or send alarms to end users when something enters the video scene.

A virtual private network (VPN) is a mechanism for creating a secure connection between a computing device and a computer network, or between two networks, across an insecure communication medium such as the public Internet. EdgeVis encoders have VPN support built-in for users who would like to utilise other devices remotely in addition to their encoder.

Further information on VPN support within EdgeVis.

SecureConnect is a feature that allows IP cameras, video analytics and other edge devices to be remotely configured and controlled using the secure EdgeVis architecture. This allows a remote user to operate IP devices using EdgeVis Client.

As cameras connected to an EdgeVis encoder are often not connected to the internet, it can be useful to set their clocks automatically using the NTP server built into encoders. This is especially useful when users enable the time overlay on their cameras.
