- To integrate with existing office surveillance system
- Office space is narrow with not much space to set up the thermal imager system
- Needs to integrate with its access control system
SOLUTION
aegis’4KVIEWER-KVM-4 model transmits 4 HDMI input sources to 1 HDMI output display. It allows the user to connect and control up to 4 AV or 4 PCs via a single set of keyboard and mouse.
