Steelbox offers an NVR appliance that offers very high scalability. Unlike most IP video surveillance software that consists of loading an application on a server/PC, Steelbox has developed a custom embedded appliance (similar to a router). A small appliance (2 RU) can handle up to 500 cameras at an MSRP of less than $75 per camera (excluding storage). Steelbox is optimized for use with PSIM applications. Steelbox competes against IP video surveillance software running on servers such as
Sun's Fire X4500. Read a
