BCDVideo’s Director of Advanced Systems Architecture, Darren Giacomini, has penned numerous articles that explain the best practices and strategies when building a reliable, resilient and highly available physical security infrastructure for video surveillance.
Earlier this month, BCDVideo attended ISC West in Las Vegas. One of the most popular topics of the show was BCDVideo’s certified hyperconverged solution (HCI-VS), a virtualized, video optimized, and highly available infrastructure.
Hyperconverged systems have been prevalent in the IT world for quite a while, but IT optimized hyperconverged hardware is not compatible with video. It is critical that security integrators and end-users have their needs met with a solution that is purpose-built for video.
One crucial item that is often overlooked by Security Integrators and end-users is why the supply chain matters. Tom Larson, Chief Technology Officer at BCDVideo says “supply chain issues impact customer satisfaction for integrators and end-users at all stages of an integrator’s job – at presale, during deployment, and for after-sale support.” All along the […]

Security Integrators often find that choosing hardware for a smaller scale project typically involves trade-offs. If the specs are not sized correctly to save on cost, performance will be compromised. As the business grows, there could be a need to replace the hardware later. Or even worse, if the spec is overbuilt, the customer would […]
