Buffalo Surveillance Server
Dynamic Resource Allocation
Any network computer with Buffalo Surveillance Server installed has access to any storage
resource accessible by the network. This makes it possible to build an Information Repository
using as many storage devices as you need, based on whatever storage media and drive
technology you want. Flexible parameters are available to build configurations that can send
stored files to different storage devices based on the storage performance and longevity
requirements of the files.
Embedded Time Display
The embedded time display (i.e., time code) system assigns a number to each frame of video,
analogous to the way film is manufactured with edge numbers, to enable each frame to be
uniquely identified. Time data is coded in digits in the form HH:MM:SS, in the range 00:00:00
to 23:59:59. When available, Buffalo Surveillance Server also enables you to view and use
other units of measurement, such as frame number.
Frame
Frame refers to a section of a GUI window that is set apart by borders or a single image
comprised in a video.
Header
In the context of data storage, a header is an area on media in which the parameters assigned
during preparation of the media are stored. The information contained in the header includes
access control lists (ACL), storage pool information, media size, type, etc.
Host
Host refers to the computer from which files originate or the computer on which a policy
resides.
Indexing
Indexing is the process of surveying data on media to create a catalog on media or on a Vault.
Re-indexing refers to when the indexing process is repeated and the catalog is recreated.
When media is re-indexed, the original catalog is overwritten.
Information Lifecycle Management (ILM)
ILM stands for Information Lifecycle Management. Information Lifecycle Management refers to
the policies, processes, practices, and tools used to align the business value of information
with the most appropriate and cost-effective IT infrastructure from the time information is
conceived through its final disposition. When ILM is video aware, it is called Video Lifecycle
Management (VLM).
