Orchid Recorder is the foundation of IPConfigure’s Video Management System. Orchid Recorder runs on a single server to collect, record, and store video from network cameras. Accessible via an intuitive web browser interface, Orchid Recorder allows users to view live and recorded video from virtually any web-enabled device.
Orchid Fusion/Hybrid VMS is an enterprise software developed to integrate multiple Orchid Recorders from various locations into one seamless management system. Designed to work across a variety of operating systems, camera types and network topologies, Orchid Fusion/Hybrid VMS is the perfect solution for large organizations.
Orchid Recorder and Orchid Fusion/Hybrid VMS have very similar user interfaces, and both systems allow viewing and exporting video, but there is a key difference between the two. While Orchid Recorder works on the camera level, Orchid Fusion/Hybrid VMS now works on the camera level and the server level. In Orchid Recorder, the administrator will “register” network cameras, configure camera stream settings, and establish video retention levels for each camera. Orchid Fusion/Hybrid VMS has the power to “register” both cameras and individual Orchid Recorders, resulting in increased management capabilities to an entire network of Orchid Recorders.
Orchid Fusion and Orchid Hybrid
Orchid Fusion VMS and Orchid Hybrid VMS are nearly identical systems. They are both used to manage multiple Orchid Recorders. Orchid Fusion VMS requires you to have one or more Orchid Recorders and an Orchid Fusion VMS server to manage them. Orchid Hybrid VMS combines on-premise recording with cloud management. So while video is still stored on-site (on an Orchid Recorder), the Hybrid system provides server aggregation, management, and accessibility through the cloud.
