BroadWare Technologies offers BroadWare Media Server (BMS) version 4.5, the centerpiece of BroadWare's open standards-based digital video surveillance platform. Using BMS 4.5 video surveillance systems, organizations are able to connect plug-and-play cameras and encoders into the IP network, and simultaneously store the same video at different sites/servers without overburdening the system. End users are able to view and archive audio as a separate stream in surveillance situations where audio alone is sufficient or is required to augment a camera's limited field of view. Additionally, BMS 4.5 adds support for the industry's latest generation of video cameras and encoders.
