Given the fact that most people don't even leave their houses without taking along their trusted smartphones nowadays, more and more security solution manufacturers come up with various surveillance systems capable of sending data to one of these mobile platforms. And that's also the case with Smartvue, which has recently released its S9 all-in-one wireless network video surveillance solution, which works very well both with PCs and Macs, but also with iPhone, iPad, Android and BlackBerry devices.

The S9 system features an impressive 20-camera wireless network, accompanied by video servers with up to 2TB of storage, and a peer-to-peer network video management platform, called InsightServer, that supports thousands of cameras through a single web interface on Windows or Apple.

The cameras and servers that make up the Smartvue S9 system are completely self-configuring, which renders installation and use a lot easier. Plus, the advanced 802.11N wireless built into the S9 servers and cameras with WMM and BroadRange, as well as AES and WPA2 security make long-range wireless easy, secure, and reliable, besides significantly reducing installation and maintenance costs for most surveillance applications.

"Smartvue S9 is the result of more than 10 years of engineering and customer experience," said Joseph Barnes, CTO of Smartvue Corporation. "We have made the installation, maintenance and scalability of professional network video surveillance cost effective and elegant with integrated NAT traversal and advanced peer-to-peer technologies as well as support for the broadest range of personal computer and mobile devices."

Of course, people who want to take advantage of the features provided by the Smartvue S9 security system will have to be prepared to cough up a pretty hefty amount of money, since it will be available in May for a suggested retail price of $1,999 (US) for the 20-camera, 1TB 802.11N wireless network video server model, $2,299 (US) for the 2TB model, $599 (US) for the H.264 802.11N D1 resolution dual-streaming wireless network video camera and $699 (US) for the vandal resistant outdoor model with vari-focal zoom lens.
