Specification Comparison of VK-64/VK-16 and VK-Lite

VK-Lite is Network Video Recorder which is supplied with VB-C500VD, VB-C500D and VB-C60. Although 
VK-Lite basically provides the same functionalities as VK-64/VK-16, there are some functional limitations as 
follows, since VK-Lite is a simplified version of VK-64/VK-16.

*1 Operational limits apply depending on the number of camera servers, the PC performance and hard disk 

capacity, and the amount of network traffic.

*2 In case of using VK-64/VK-16 with multiple storage servers, you can unify management of camera servers 

registered to each storage server and the recorded data, if you set one master storage server. When 
connecting to each storage server using VK-Lite Viewer, you need to switch connection one by one.

*3 Layout Sequences is a function to switch displayed viewer windows at set intervals.
