Upgrade with added value: HUB L3 instead of HUB L2 - the MOBOTIX HUB function comparison
With an upgrade you are optimally equipped - for more security and functionality in daily operation.
HUB L2 is an ideal introduction and companion for users in their first days of using VMS to familiarise themselves with the basic functions. To understand the initial requirements of the software in real use with the least investment.
Many users like to upgrade to the next larger version of the MOBOTIX HUB after a certain period of experience and a deeper understanding of the everyday requirements, and with practical experience can compare the additional price of the HUB L3 with the extended functions.
A switch is almost always worthwhile.
The Advanced Service also ensures that an upgrade will be credited 100% of the investment already made in the MOBOTIX HUB -
Optimum investment!
The MOBOTIX HUB L3 offers advantages over the HUB L2 version in the following areas:
Improving cyber security and user rights
- Optimum device password management - with the MOBOTIX Discovery plug-in for MOBOTIX cameras. Third-party cameras such as Axis, Bosch and ONVIF-compliant cameras are optimally supported in the basic system from HUB L3.
The following applies to third-party or MOBOTIX cameras: Manage your device passwords directly in the MOBOTIX HUB to save time and reduce the effort required for initial setup and future security routines. - Desk Client Profiles - With MOBOTIX HUB Desk Client Profiles, system administrators can control how HUB Desk Client should look and behave and which functions and windows the user should have access to.
Performance and scalability
- Scalable Video Quality Recording™ (SVQR) - Helps users get the most out of camera-based edge storage by allowing high quality video to be recorded on the edge storage while a low quality reference video is recorded centrally on the VMS recording servers. This provides a cost-effective way to create high-quality recordings prior to the event.
- Unlimited number of recording servers - The ability to expand the MOBOTIX HUB L3 system with any number of recording servers allows users to scale their installation easily and cost-effectively.
- Unlimited number of cameras - There are no restrictions on the number of cameras or other hardware devices that can be added to the system.
Ease of use
- Mobile Client - Share a link to a live camera feed - Increased collaboration efficiency. Mobile Client users can now share a live video stream with another Mobile Client user.
Example: Security personnel in the field can send a link to a camera to another colleague and ask them to follow the live video stream from a specific camera to get a better picture of the situation in stressful situations. - Share bookmark (Mobile) - To enrich the user experience and improve collaboration between operators, the MOBOTIX HUB offers to create and access links to the bookmarks between mobile clients. Sharing links is possible between iOS and Android devices. Operators now have an easier way to collaborate that doesn’t require the sharing of sticky notes or the time-consuming entry of incident descriptions in chat systems or other tools that reside outside of the VMS installation.
- Move hardware - Wizard for easily moving hardware devices between recording servers at runtime without losing settings, recordings, rules, authorisations, etc.
Core VMS
- Edge Storage - Refers to the ability to store video recordings within the camera that records the video. The use of edge storage opens up a range of possibilities for optimising recording server performance and the use of network and storage infrastructure in a video surveillance installation.
- Setting bookmarks manually - Provides users with an easy way to mark interesting video sections and add descriptive notes for later analysis or sharing with other users.
