Smartvue
Smartvue offers a solution for small box retailers looking for higher resolution IP video. SmartVue offers a package of wireless megapixel IP cameras (MSRP - $695) and an NVR (MSRP - $2300) that is inexpensive and easy to set up. Indeed, SmartVue's package is very cost competitive against traditional analog camera and DVR solutions that offer low quality and less deployment flexibility. Also, 'open' IP video software systems can be significantly more expensive and complex to set up and deploy - a critical consideration for chain retailers and a key problem in expanding IP video surveillance to the broader marketplace.
Note: since SmartVue offers a package, you cannot buy the cameras and use them with other manufacturer's NVRs. It also does not offer sophisticated PoS monitoring nor exception based reporting. These elements should be factored into your purchasing decision.
