DEVA’s shell is resistant to water and dust (IP65), making it an ideal solution for outdoor installations, for applications ranging from scheduled diffusion of background music, to video surveillance.
System architecture A Deva system consists of the devices, the communication infrastructure, LAN, Wi-Fi, or mobile network, and a management server called PDD (Powersoft Deva Director). DSM (Deva System Manager) management software runs on this server. The DSM provides a web-type user interface that is accessible from any PC on the same subnet or that is able to connect to the PDD via the Internet if it has a static public address.
