CRS for Windows remains available, supporting up to 500 cameras.

Some of the key highlights include:

  • 3000 Channel Support – When running in a Linux environment, CRS can support up to 3000 cameras per server.
  • March Networks Searchlight integration – Brickstream text channels can be sent to Command Enterprise Software through CRS and Searchlight ATM/POS transaction data is also available.
    • Encryption in transit – Get encryption in transit from cameras to recorders (for cameras that support HTTPS encryption).
    • Mark for replacement – Seamlessly replace an old device with a new device and import the existing configuration.

Pricing and part numbers
CRS pricing remains unchanged.  Camera channel licenses are purchased using the same part numbers, whether for a Windows OS or Linux OS installation. There are no new license part numbers needed for the CRS Linux version.

Software downloads
The new CRS Windows version is available for download on the Partner Portal. Please speak to your March Networks representative about accessing and installing the CRS Linux software.

A free, entry-level version of CRS is also available for users with Windows OS. Command Recording Software Lite supports up to six cameras and one week of recording, making it ideal for anyone wishing to trial our VMS system. CRS Lite can be easily upgraded to CRS or Command Enterprise at any time, with all previously recorded video maintained.
