The Steelbox Network Media Appliance provides video content storage functions for hundreds or thousands of camera sensors. Presented as a collection of web services, each function associated with video stream management can be quickly accessed across a distributed network. Video stream management at the enterprise scale enables TMC operators to scan real-time and historical video feeds from across highly distributed traffic networks. Steelbox services provide the ability to group together camera views from several intersections and street segments in order to create a contextual view of traffic activities.

With the Steelbox appliance system operators are able to view live and recorded traffic video simultaneously with configurable viewers. Views are switched from 1 to 16 camera streams with maps and portal applications at the center. Live video can be rewound for instant review at any time. Export video clips to any medium including email. Control PTZ cameras directly from the user interface.

The MetroTech Net, through Steelbox services, offers advanced system management and monitoring tools for configuring and managing the Steelbox appliances and Steelvault network attached storage arrays remotely. Real-time system monitoring with visual and audible system failure alarms provide detailed health and status of the video management system to network engineers and IT personnel.
