Product Overview & Core Capabilities
The IPVT10 is an on-premise full-HD video conferencing server designed for enterprises that want a centralized, secure, and locally deployed video conferencing platform. It combines meeting hosting, conferencing management, recording, and collaboration services into a single server solution.
IPVT10 is designed for small to medium-sized enterprises, especially organizations with multiple locations, remote teams, or internal training needs. It is well-suited for businesses that require a centralized, on-premise video conferencing solution.
From a security standpoint, IPVT10 allows organizations to keep meetings, recordings, and user data within their own infrastructure, reducing reliance on public cloud services. It also supports encrypted communications for WebRTC and SIP connections, helping protect audio, video, and signaling data during transmission. This makes IPVT10 a good fit for organizations with data privacy and security requirements.
IPVT10 is an on-premise video conferencing server. All meetings, recordings, management, and data storage are hosted locally within the organization’s infrastructure, providing greater control and security.
IPVT10 integrates multiple services into one platform, including a Video MCU, SIP Registrar, H.323 Gateway, WebRTC Server, Recording/Storage Server, Contacts Manager, NAT Traversal Server, and Enterprise Collaboration Server.
IPVT10 supports up to 300 participants in total and up to 120 video feeds in a single conference session, depending on network configuration and meeting scenarios.
