Coram Point across two separate LANs
Where it fits
Picture two school buildings on separate networks and one district supervisor who needs to see both. Coram documents local recording on the Point and central access to multiple sites from a shared dashboard. The district decides where its recordings live yet keeps one place to look for any given camera — a concrete advantage when the archive has to stay at each building. V03 · Point FAQ
Deployment boundary
Coram specifies at least one Point for each site on a separate LAN, so the drawing needs two recorder locations, two power sources and two sets of camera connections. During a WAN interruption, the operator's remote screen and the local archive answer different questions: a blank remote view does not establish a gap in the disk recording. V03 · Recorder topology
The emergency-management application is a separate purchase decision. Coram describes configurable escalation, including 911 when configured, with EMS licensed per user. For an exercise, use a simulated recipient and record which service generated the message. V05 · EMS FAQ
Price basis
Coram quotes against the recorder selected and the camera count. The CP-Y-1 specification carries two ceilings: a channel count of 80, and an archive that can reach 365 days. Put the proposed feed count, resolution, bitrate and guaranteed retention on one order sheet. Two maximums in a catalog are not a promise that both are delivered at once.

Evidence to request
With a site operator present, leave the cameras and the Point on the LAN and disconnect only the test WAN path. Leave the local clock alone and write down the outage boundaries. Have the supervisor at the second building log what stays visible. After reconnection, request an export that starts a minute before the cut and ends a minute after recovery. A clip can carry the requested start and end labels and still hide a hole in its middle — so step through the moving marker, count the missing seconds, and attach that count to the first building’s recorder serial number. Before anyone signs: can the district recover the full requested interval at the quoted bitrate?
