When the Student Computer Services Department (SCS) at the University of Nevada Las Vegas campus decided to upgrade their video security system, they looked for a reliable and cost effective solution. "We provided a couple of options for them, and it did not take long before they chose Unisight as their preferred solution." Jonathan Harms from Vegas Valley Locking Systems also said: "one of their main concerns was the expandability of the system, specially allowing them to use existing analog cameras, while expanding with IP based cameras."


The unit installed at the UNLV campus was a Hybrid PC based unit with 24 analog channel inputs and capable of handling 16 Megapixel streams.


It did not take long after the unit was put into service for the department manager to approve a second unit to be installed at the Student Computing Services Department at the University of Nevada Reno campus. Even though it is a smaller department their needs required a similar solution, the decision was made to install a Hybrid PC based unit with 8 analog channels and open to manage up to 16 IP streams.

The design of the Unisight System is based on H.264 Hardware Compression Technology, which provides super clear picture quality, with smaller file sizes and faster network transmission speed. As well as using Unisight Bandwidth Management Technology to efficiently handle the larger file sizes of the Megapixel cameras transmission. Both campuses are linked by a private fiber network connection, making the management of the complete system simple and allowing them to view without delay both sites from either location. Mr. Harms stated: "they are so happy with the transmission quality and speed; they are considering using Unisight units to provide internal bi-directional video conferencing services."
