Launched at IIPSEC 2008, this is said to be a powerful addition to the DV-IP family and has been developed to offer end users a full desktop High Definition CCTV system which can operate in association with up to eight of the company’s advanced CamVu 2000 mega pixel cameras.
The “cost effective” NetVu Connected server supports HD CCTV recording, playback and local HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) monitor output.
A built-in TransCoding capability allows bandwidth-optimised images to be streamed to remote operators without impacting on the network
The DV-IP HD is being targeted at sectors where the recognition of faces to identify suspects from CCTV images – being viewed and recorded – is a key requirement. Typical applications are expected to include retail, banking, corporate headquarters, town centre security and MOD installations.
Pauline Norstrom, worldwide head of marketing, said it “breaks down the barriers which to date have prevented economical high definition recording becoming a reality. Coax cable as a technology is a non-starter for High Definition CCTV, as the resolution available is severely limited by the PAL video standard, and while IP opens the door to high resolution image capture and recording, in practice, this typically means that users are forcing large amounts of data onto the network to record images, potentially crippling the network.
“The solution provided by the DV-IP HD overcomes these hurdles by allowing high definition recording to be delivered as a single, standalone, solution without necessarily having to transmit the data over the network.”
