S-68 E is now one of the industry's most efficient, high-density solutions, making it ideal for large, professional installations where space and cost per channel are a concern. Moreover, since each module consumes a mere 0.9W per channel, the S-68 is also an environmentally friendly and cost-effective solution.

Through an intuitive access-controlled web interface, it is possible to configure an array of features included in the S-68 E, such as the use of video motion detection or serial data streams to control a PTZ camera or implement access control. Additionally, these compact video servers are based on an open streaming architecture standard that simplifies their use in third-party systems.
