email2 supports the traditional attachment structure, of course, but it also supports a new way of transmitting certain types of media. Integrated voice and video messaging allows users to record multimedia messages on-the-fly, directly and securely to a Private Email Network (PEN). The multimedia message can then be retrieved by a recipient and streamed straight from the PEN to his or her email client or the email2 Web Client.
email2 achieves this with a specialized web component. Voice and video messages are recorded on, stored on, encrypted and played directly from the PEN. There’s no more fiddling around with proper compression formats, specialized codecs or large attachment sizes. email2 takes all the trouble out of multimedia email messaging.

Recording a voice or video message is as simple using the email2 Toolbar or visiting the email2 Web Client and pressing the “record” button on the voice or video module. They automatically communicate with any local recording devices and allow true streaming audio/video recording. The video capture is streamed over a secure connection to the media server associated with the PEN. Once the recording stops, the media file awaits retrieval. When a user receives an email2 Message with an associated voice or video message, the recipient is able to access the email client or email2 Web Client and view the video just as he or she would view any other type of email2 Message data. If the recipient has proper permissions, the media is streamed to the recipient. |
