Meet the Nx Server
The Nx Server application is a lightweight, cross-platform media server designed for discovering and managing Nx system resources and users.
Key Features of Nx Server
Designed with a focus on simplicity and performance, the Nx Server boasts a suite of powerful features.
Automatic IP Camera Discovery
The Nx Server application automatically discovers 99% of IP cameras on the market today using a combination of ONVIF and native camera SDKs with advanced capabilities.
Manually Add Streams
Every Nx Server lets users add any RTSP, HTTP, or UDP stream from any device (IP camera, drone, etc) or 3rd party system (DVR, NVR, etc) for viewing and archiving.
Store Anywhere
The Nx Server allows users to capture and store video pretty much anywhere – local drives, SD cards, NAS devices, iSCSI, SAN, Veracity Coldstore, or even cloud locations.
Server Hive Architecture
Every Server in the Nx System synchronizes user and configuration data in real-time ensuring no single point of failure in any size system and automatic camera failover.
Events Rules Engine
Every Nx Server has an IFTT Events Rules Engine that lets operators configure simple or advanced rules based on System-generated or integrated 3rd party events.
Nx Toolkit
