On the one hand, the hardware platform developed by HeiTel's in-house engineers is so powerful that recording and live image transmission is run in real-time at a rate of 25 fps per camera. On the other hand, power consumption is so efficient that a cooling fan is no longer needed; therefore the CamServer cannot be heard while in operation.

All of HeiTel's recording and transmission systems are powered by 12 V DC. The device can therefore easily be integrated into vehicle projects and situations where emergency power supply back up is required. These features not only favour the use of the CamServer 2 for general video monitoring applications, but also and in particular for covert monitoring.

CamServer 2 is equipped with an integrated 120 GB hard drive. Thanks to the highly-efficient compression method developed by HeiTel, it is possible e.g. to receive uninterrupted continuous recording from both cameras at one fps for up to 4 months .

Additionally, CamServer 2 is equipped with interfaces that allow it to be easily connected to monitoring stations and video management systems via practically all transmission networks, i.e. ADSL, 3G (UMTS), HSDPA, GSM, ISDN, PSTN (POTS) etc.
