NextConnect™ Technologies - Security without boundaries

NextConnect™

NextConnect™ is the patented peer-to-peer technology powering Next Level RMS. This revolutionary technology efficiently streams live video to multiple users simultaneously from a single NLSS Gateway. Powered by NextConnect, users establish a direct connection from the remote PC to the local NLSS Gateway or with other users on the system. This means that remote video streams faster and smoother to the user because it does not have to route through the host for each update as is the case in traditional hosting models. Additionally, this innovative method of video streaming ensures that video and bandwidth do not degrade as more users log in to view the same video. This efficient routing of video and other data reduces bandwidth, increases video streaming speed and quality, and ultimately saves on costs for the user.

Reduced Latency

Traditional Hosting Models
	Traditional hosting models route all video and other data through the host for each update. This can cause latency if the host is located geographically far from the local site.
NextConnect™ Model
	With NextConnect™, users establish a direct connection with the local site or with other users of the system. This technology seeks the most efficient way to route video and other data to the users, reducing video latency and bandwidth consumption. As more users log in to view the video, the more robust the system becomes because additional users provide additional connection points and computing power.

Increased Demand Means Increased Resources

With NextConnect™, clients provide resources, which may include bandwidth and computing power. As more users log in to view live video, the capacity of the system actually increases because users connect with other users, providing additional connection points. In essence as demand increases, resources also increase.

By contrast, in a traditional Client–Host system, users share only their demands with the Host, but not their resources. This means that as more clients join the system, fewer resources are available to serve each client and the video performance degrades rapidly. The decentralized nature of NextConnect™ also increases robustness because it removes the single point of failure that can be inherent in a Client-Host based system.

Traditional Hosting Models
	In a traditional hosting environment, multiple users pull video from a single source (camera or server). Because these devices have limited processing power and bandwidth availability, they can only support a fixed number of clients before the source (camera or server) begins video degradation or fails to allow additional client connections.
NextConnect™ Model
	NextConnect™ leverages the resources that users provide including bandwidth and computing power. Because users connect to each other, video streams only to a single source so the performance quality and the bandwidth does not degrade. As more users log in to view live video, the capacity of the system actually increases because users connect with other users, providing additional connection points. In essence as demand increases, resources also increase.

With NextConnect™ - no loss in framerate

NextConnect™ allows unlimited users to stream video simultaneously with no loss in quality.

Even while streaming live video from multiple users, NextConnect™ Technology keeps the framerate high. In traditional hosting models, as more users log on, the framerate decreases.

Next Level RMS provides substantial savings in infrastructure

Reducing bandwidth while increasing usage

next connect versus traditional cost comparison

Streaming live remote video can require a great amount of bandwidth at the local site. In a traditional hosting model, the more users streaming the remote video, the more bandwidth is used. This can result in thousands of dollars monthly in internet charges.

Get the most out of your internet connection with NextConnect™
NextConnect™ ensures that only one connection is made to the local site at a time, meaning that users can get the most out of their internet connection without upgrading their package. At the same time, video at the local site is always available to an unlimited number of users, even when viewing simultaneously.

Next Level RMS works with any standards-based camera model
Additionally, unlike typical hosting models, Next Level RMS works with any standards-based camera model so users can choose the devices that best fit their needs.

The Next Level RMS package offers users remote access and multi-site management with a host of features:

Remotely access all system features through a Web browser including camera settings, live surveillance video, door controls, and more.
Multi-site video display: Stream video from up to four different sites simultaneously to a single view display.
Full duplex audio: Talk to local sites from the browser-interface through audio-enabled cameras.
Site online status view: LED lights on a map interface indicate whether sites are on or offline.
Mobile device support: Access and interface with all system features from supported mobile devices.
Remote software updates: The NLSS Gateway software can be updated remotely, eliminating the need for on-site support.
Automatic database configuration backup: Eliminate downtime in the event of an incident. Automatically back up all database configurations on the NLSS Gateways and connected devices.
Configuration replication: NLSS Gateway configurations will replicate when replacing damaged hardware or adding new facilities to avoid costly downtime.
Standards-based camera support: Unlike typical hosted models, Next Level RMS is compatible with any standards-based camera, meaning users can choose the devices that best fit their needs.
Advance hardware replacement: An extended warranty is included for NLSS Gateways with a Next Level RMS package. Next Level will replace all hardware in the event of a malfunction to help you avoid downtime.
Unlimited Live Viewing: In the event of an emergency, multiple people need to view live video simultaneously including police, emergency response teams, facilities managers and more. Traditional remote video systems limit the number of people that access video before it starts to degrade. Next Level RMS, powered by NextConnect™, enables an unlimited number of viewers to access the same video simultaneously.
No Single Point of Failure: The decentralized nature of NextConnect™ also increases robustness because it removes the single point of failure that can be inherent in a client-host based system. If one point fails, the system will automatically connect to another access point.
