Breaking the Deadlock of Massive Video Archiving · Strengthening the Security Line of Transfer and Storage

2026-03-16

Are you troubled by difficult video archiving, slow transfer and storage, and chaotic queries? ZhongSheng iSSP has helped global customers solve this dilemma.

From cross - domain archiving of hundreds of banks in Jordan to transfer and storage of the thousands - mile watercourse of the South - to - North Water Diversion Project, from hierarchical collection for financial compliance to train - ground transfer and storage of urban rail trains - ZhongShengYiHua, with its four capabilities of "fully decoupled access, hierarchical archiving, intelligent compression for transfer and storage, and centralized retrieval", enables massive videos to be archived economically, transferred stably, and retrieved accurately.

Archiving and transfer storage are not simply "storing in another place". Instead, they are a complete data lifecycle management that allows historical recordings sleeping in front - end NVRs to be actively collected, important images scattered at various nodes to be intelligently transferred and stored, and massive cold data to be retrieved in seconds. The front - end is compatible with all mainstream NVRs, and the back - end is compatible with all storage forms. With 1TB used as 3TB and zero bandwidth conflict during off - peak archiving, the ZhongSheng iSSP intelligent archiving and transfer storage solution enables video data to move from "unaffordable to store" to "intelligently archived, safely transferred, and quickly retrieved".

Four - Dimensional Intelligent Management, Worry - Free Storage and Retrieval

1. Fully Decoupled: Open Architecture, Free from Vendor Lock - in

ZhongSheng iSSP adheres to a fully decoupled design, with an open access end and a flexible storage end, allowing customers to get rid of vendor lock - in.

  • Full Front - end Compatibility: It supports standard protocols such as ONVIF and GB/T28181, and seamlessly adapts to all mainstream NVRs and VMS platforms such as Huawei, Hikvision, Dahua, and Uniview. Regardless of the front - end devices used in the existing network, they can be smoothly connected without replacing cameras or modifying the existing system.

  • Full Back - end Openness: It supports all mainstream storage forms such as NAS (OceanStor Pacific, etc.), SAN, object storage, and cloud storage. Customers can freely choose storage media according to data importance, access frequency, and cost budget to build a hierarchical storage architecture.

  • Full Domestic Innovation Base: It is built based on the Kunpeng 920 processor and the openEuler operating system, meeting the requirements of independent controllability in key industries such as government, finance, and energy.

2. Hierarchical Storage: Precise Matching, Optimal Cost
iSSP provides a three - level archiving and transfer storage strategy to precisely match storage costs with data value:

Strategy Combination Suggestion: Archive all data in key areas (10%), archive I - frames in ordinary areas (60%), and archive data triggered by alarms in non - key areas (30%). Under refined configuration, the overall storage cost can be reduced by more than 50%.

3. Intelligent Compression for Archiving: Super - Intelligent Compression Technology, Using 1TB as 3TB

The "Taihang" super - intelligent compression video recorder uses super - intelligent compression encoding and a serialized video storage engine (SVDSE) to redefine the density of video archiving and transfer storage.

  • High - Fidelity Compression: With intelligent scene - aware encoding, on the premise of subjective losslessness (SSIM ≥ 0.9), the bit rate is reduced by 65% - 70%. Using 1TB as 3TB, the storage period is extended three times.

  • Ultra - Fast Disk Writing: The dedicated storage engine optimizes disk writing, and the concurrent archiving of 512 channels of high - definition video remains smooth.

  • Measured Data (2000 channels of 1080P@3Mbps, 90 - day storage scenario):

It is more cost - effective, more environmentally friendly, and saves more space - doubling the storage period within limited resources.

4. Free Retrieval: Centralized Management, Retrieval in Seconds

iSSP provides a centralized unified management platform to achieve "overview on one screen and retrieval with one click" of massive and scattered data, and the retrieval performance after archiving and transfer storage remains unchanged.

  • Visualized Operation and Maintenance Dashboard: The total number of channels, online rate, and archiving progress are refreshed in real - time; the task status and abnormal alarms are updated within 5 seconds.

  • Intelligent Retrieval Experience: It supports multi - dimensional retrieval by time, location, event type, etc., and can locate the target recording in seconds. The viewing method after archiving is exactly the same as that of the original platform, allowing for random jumping, fast - forwarding, and fast - rewinding, with zero learning cost and seamless switching.

Application Scenarios

Scenario 1: Historical Archiving - Expanding the Existing Network, Seamlessly Extending the Storage Days

Pain Point: The storage period of the existing network NVR is only 30 days, while regulations require 90 days or longer; the computer room space is limited, and the budget is restricted.

Solution: iSSP seamlessly connects to the existing network, automatically migrates the front - end historical recordings to the back - end centralized storage, and releases the NVR space. Without replacing the front - end devices, only by increasing the investment by 30%, the storage period can be smoothly extended three times (from 30 days to 90 days).

Scenario 2: Targeted Transfer and Storage - Permanently Archiving and Preserving Key Recordings

Pain Point: The recordings during flood seasons, major events, and emergencies are of extremely high value, but the front - end NVRs overwrite data cyclically according to a fixed period, and precious images are easily lost; manual export is time - consuming and labor - intensive.

Solution: Administrators can freely select the start and end times of archiving, lock the recordings in the key period with one click, and migrate them to the back - end for permanent storage. It supports cut in line of emergency archiving tasks and can complete the preservation of recordings before and after emergencies within 30 minutes.

Scenario 3: Hierarchical Archiving - Hierarchical Transfer and Storage of Hot and Cold Data, Extreme Cost - Saving

Pain Point: The scale of cameras in new projects is large, and long - term storage leads to a sharp increase in computer room space, hard - disk procurement, and electricity and operation and maintenance costs.

Solution: With the architecture of "super - intelligent compression encoding + hot - cold hierarchy", hot data (last 30 days) is stored in high - performance storage, warm data (30 - 90 days) is archived using I - frames, and cold data (over 90 days/alarm fragments) is migrated to object storage or the cloud. With the same computer room space, the storage period is increased by 3 times; with the same storage period, the TCO is reduced by 35%.

Scenario 4: Intelligent Transfer and Storage - Automatic Archiving during Off - Peak Hours, Seamless Train - Ground Transfer and Storage

Pain Point: Batch archiving occupies bandwidth and affects business; it is difficult to transfer data back in mobile scenarios such as trains and ships, and manual copying is inefficient.

Solution:

Intelligent Scheduling during Off - Peak and Peak Hours: Group flexibly by site, business, and importance, and independently configure archiving strategies. During off - peak hours (night/weekend), high - concurrency and full - speed archiving are carried out; during peak hours (day/weekday), it runs silently with low bandwidth, saving 60% of bandwidth costs and having zero conflict between business and archiving.

Unattended Train - Ground Transfer and Storage: Taking the urban rail scenario as an example, when the train enters the depot early every morning, the system automatically detects network connectivity and immediately starts high - speed archiving of the recordings in the past 24 hours; the data transfer and storage for the whole day is completed within 4 hours and automatically stops before the train departs in the morning. The whole process is unattended, and breakpoint resume ensures that data is not lost during network fluctuations.
