AK357 - can you enlighten me a bit on Avigilion?

Thanks for the reply TOMCCTV - can you elaborate on the PC's part? Do you mean after removing cards there will be a PC to view the video software? When you say VMS is included - where would the video capture and recordings take place. Was that why you were asking about the PC's? I am not familiar with Avigilon (other than the name) and how it is implemented. Have you ever heard of GENIV? Still need to present the owners some info on why to or not to go with GENIV.

Hi all, I am new to the forums and wanted to thank everyone for any help that can be provided. We are a restaurant group that is looking to grow which means I need a solution that will be scalable across locations which will include multi city with a small team (outsourced installs or at least the options to outsource is needed). We currently have Geovisions across all locations with a mix of DVR capture cards and full on recording servers. Based on the need we would like to be able to have a the options of providing the management team the ability to view their locations via a mobile app or web interface while also from a corporate level obtain access and information to our senior management team and owners. I am happy with Geovison but want to know some other options within that price range if possible or if there is a better setup using the Geovisions systems. Part 2 - The owners had some recommendations (from friends) who said to look at GENIV (http://www.g4direct.com/) but I have not really heard of them. I am not even sure they are an enterprise product but their prices do seem reasonable. Any further pros and cons would be appreciated. Again I see this not having too many remote installers\vendors and difficult to find the product in a pinch. I have to talk with the local vendor referred by the friend about the GENIV solution further. Again thanks for your help and any information you can provide.
