VIVOTEK ST7501 is the next-generation in recording software, featuring reliable recording, easy system management, and flexible scalability for diverse IP surveillance applications. ST7501 has three major components, including: ST7501 Server for recording, ST7501 LiveClient for viewing live media data and system management, and ST7501 Playback for browsing databases and retrieving recorded media data. You can install and run the three components on a single computer, or install them in three separate locations in accordance with your security needs.

ST7501 Server is able to record network video streams on up to 32 channels, while ST7501 LiveClient allows for real-time remote monitoring. For video playback, you can use ST7501 Playback to access the database with multiple advanced functions such as searching, browsing, and exporting. With ST7501 LiveClient and ST7501 Playback installed on separate computers in different locations, you can have access to database search and live viewing simultaneously for more efficient video management. Working seamlessly with VIVOTEK's network cameras and video servers, the ST7501 recording software puts the power of IP video surveillance at your fingertips.
