It may be desirable to have more than one camera installed for monitoring, but doing so might involve a lot of additional hardware just to allow more than one camera to operate with i-Catcher Console, or to have more than one i-Catcher Sentry running.

i-Catcher Video Server is a solution to this hardware problem. i-Catcher Video Server operates directly with multi-port Osprey Video capture cards, and presents each of these ports as a single network video source, allowing a single computer to cycle the video source between four video feeds per instance of i-Catcher Video Server.

For example using the Osprey-100 which has four composite video inputs, you can view four video sources. You can only access one video input on a Osprey card at a single time so i-Catcher Video Server software constantly cycles from port to port allowing you to monitor each video input providing approximately two to four frames per second which is ideal for security and monitoring applications.

You can increase the number of sources a single computer can monitor, up to sixteen if you install four Osprey-100 cards. You simply enter the host, port, and address of the specific camera into i-Catcher Sentry or Console, and i-Catcher Video Server runs transparently like any other local or network video source.

i-Catcher Video Server is fully configurable, and takes advantage of all the features your Osprey Video card provides such as differing image sizes, video signal formats, interlaced/non-interlaced images, and brightness and contrast. As with all i-Catcher products, the embedded web server that is used to serve video images is not bound to any particular internet address or host port, so it won't conflict with your existing software.

i-Catcher Video Server is also fully automated. An automatic start option, along with automatic minimize options ensures that i-Catcher Video Server can start up without user interaction, providing a fully automated and recoverable solution for your needs. Also included is a security feature to prevent accidental changing of settings, or tampering by other users.

You can buy the full version of i-Catcher Video Server, or you can download a registration key that will give you full unlimited access for 21 days, after which i-Catcher Video Server will drop to a demonstration mode, and will have limited functionality.

Please note that i-Catcher Video Server designed to work with Osprey Video capture cards. i-Catcher Video Server needs to access the Osprey card directly in order to switch the video ports while capturing. Please make sure you have one of the following Osprey Video cards before you buy:
