Product Description

The OpenEye MK-Series recorder is designed to offer maximum performance and reliability, paired with full integration with OpenEye Web Services (OWS). Complete network setup is fast and easy using Web Connect and eliminates the need for port forwarding using OWS. There is no need to write, remember, or type IP addresses and other network information for remote connections. Simply enable OWS on your recorder, and then connect using the OWS Web Client to manage recorder configurations and user access. These recorders have RAID storage and redundant OS drive options to ensure you get as much operational up-time possible. With on-board storage and removable front drive bays, you have convenient and expandable storage capabilities.

OpenEye Web Services allows you to centralize user management, monitor the health of your recording system, and take advantage of the security of online export and video or clip file sharing.
