The NETiP digital audio and video alarm panel is said to be the only unit on the market that fully integrates with Sentinel Plus alarm monitoring software from Monitor Computer Systems. It is compliant with BS8418 and provides enhanced monitoring of battery condition and sends alerts to the central monitoring station if power levels drop below 11 volts. VDT has also provided increased protection against tampering with the addition of eight end-of-line resistance alarm inputs, making it one of the first manufacturers of video alarm panels to come into line with standard alarm technology. NETiP also features optional alarm backup over PSTN.
Available in four or eight channel versions, NETiP can be rackmounted in standard 19″ cabinets. Built-in Ethernet connections enable analogue audio and video signals to be digitised and transmitted in real-time over LAN/WAN networks, or via standard broadband, without requiring a PC at the monitored premises. Video images are compressed, encoded and stored on flash memory for immediate, easy access to recorded events and event logs. NETiP also features internal pre and post-alarm image capture and can digitally store up to 100 still images.
“NETiP provides a complete video and audio record of every intrusion activation event, adds unrivalled levels of functionality to monitoring stations and is infinitely scaleable to meet the requirements of the largest applications,” said Clive Mason, managing director of VDT. “It has already been deployed by two of Europe’s best known retail companies in stores across the UK.”
NETiP is compatible with all brands of dome cameras and offers selectable recording and transmission image/video size, PTZ support, programmable alarm inputs and control outputs. VDT also provides a video integration kit that enables full integration of digital CCTV with other brands of alarm receiving and management software currently in use by monitoring stations.
