Security - Products & Services Toshiba Unveils Servers for Enterprise-Class IP Network Video Surveillance Toshiba Surveillance & IP Video Products Group has introduced the NVSPRO high-performance network video servers. An all-in-one IP video network storage and management solution, NVSPRO servers empower enterprise-class organizations to scale IP video surveillance systems to meet changing application requirements, whether it is the need to archive larger volumes of video or to support as many as 64 megapixel IP cameras. NVSPRO servers drive greater return on security investment across the enterprise. Front-accessible hard drive bays can store 48 TB of video and audio, a critical feature for organizations that are required to archive video for longer periods of time. Combined with an Intel Core i7 processor, multi-layer redundancy mechanisms and 4 GB RAM, this hot-swappable and scalable storage makes the NVSPRO an a backbone for enterpriseclass IP deployments. In addition, throughput rates up to 260 Mbps allow multiple megapixel cameras to be simultaneously accessed by remote clients for live monitoring, real-time recording and video playback, while dual Gigabit network ports ensure incoming and outgoing video traffic is properly balanced. RAID5 is available for better drive performance, as well as to enhance the security of mission-critical recordings in the event of mechanical failure. NVSPRO servers were engineered with out-of-the-box functionality and minimal training requirements. Each is pre-configured to accommodate numerous IP camera compression formats and more than 150 models of IP cameras from leading global brands. Eight IP camera licenses are included per server, but these are expandable to 64. Because they are ONVIF compliant, NVSPRO servers seamlessly integrate with other ONVIF devices on larger management platforms. NVSPRO servers are compatible with Toshiba Surveillix VMS software. As an added convenience, organizations can now view and manage their video remotely with an iPad, iPhone or Android device using Toshiba’s free mobile apps. SightLogix Smart Thermal Camera Solution Integrates With ViconNet VMS SightLogix, Inc. has integrated the SightLogix video analytics solution with Vicon Industries’ ViconNet video management software (VMS). SightSensor video analytic cameras, which detect objects that violate perimeter security rules, can now send video and alarm information over the network for display within the ViconNet video management system. SightTrackers, which automatically steer PTZ cameras, now send the PTZ’s video to the ViconNet system for up-close, alarm verification. The combined solution can trigger actions within the ViconNet system to initiate alarm processing, such as recording or alarm notification. The integration provides accurate, cost-efficient outdoor security for protecting critical assets. New 3G Sensors Stream Photo and Video to the Cloud For Security Applications Libelium has released a new generation of autonomous 3G sensors equipped with video cameras that enable the development of security, surveillance and military applications on Waspmote, the wireless sensor network platform for the Internet of Things (IoT). These video camera sensors, in conjunction with the 3G communication module, allow the creation of sensor nodes that transmit both discrete data gathered by analog and digital sensors and complex streams of real time information, such as photos and video, to servers in the Cloud. Waspmote uses ZigBee, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi protocols to send low bandwidth data such as temperature, humidity and CO2 levels, and high 24 www.RemoteMagazine.com speed W-CDMA and HSPA mobile networks to upload video. For security applications that require night vision mode, the video camera sensor nodes include dozens of high-power infrared (IR) LEDs, allowing Waspmote to take pictures in total darkness. The 3G module is equipped with an internal GPS that adds geolocation meta information to all multimedia files. New 3G-communication module uses W-CDMA and HSPA mobile networks, with a speed rate of 5.5 Mbps when uploading photos/videos to the Cloud. This allows users to create distributed photo/video network for security and surveillance IoT applications where hundreds of small footprint sensor nodes send information simultaneously. 3G module includes an internal SD card holder (extensible to 32 GB) to store thousands of photos and videos when connection is not available. This way information is never lost as it is stored independently of the state of the network. Hikvision Launches Network Speed Dome Cameras Hikvision has unveiled a series of surveillance cameras (DS-2DF5274 1.3MP network speed dome camera and DS-2DF5284 2 MP network speed dome) that are specifically designed to provide a security solution for large areas where PTZ functionality is required. The models incorporate true day/night cameras with an IR cut filter and are capable of a 1/3 inch progressive scan, work well in low light environments, and with the benefit of 3D DNR (digital noise reduction) functionality, the images are further enhanced since it greatly helps to reduce noise and motion blur. The DS-2DF5274 offers a 1,280 by 960 resolution at 25 to 30 frames per second, and a 20X optical zoom of 4.3 mm to 86 mm. It also has a zoom speed of 5 seconds and 54.1 to 3.2 degree angle of view. While the DS-2DF5284 is a similar camera with slightly different capabilities, gives consumers another option. It has an HD 1080p resolution at 25 to 30 frames per second, as well as a 20X optical zoom of 4.7 to 94 mm. Its zoom speed is 2.7 seconds with a 58.3 to 3.2 degree angle of view. With a pan speed of 540°/ second and an endless range of 360°, they are effective in capturing the most minute activities when deployed. As network cameras, they can be integrated in a surveillance network through an RJ45 Ethernet connection, providing functionality with other compatible network surveillance devices. The products offer dual streaming and H.264/MJPEG/MPEG4 compression to optimize bandwidth consumption. It even supports up to 10 users simultaneously monitoring live images at different locations. ONVIF and PSIA protocols are also supported for the integration with other equipments, to meet the requirements of different surveillance needs. Observint Technologies Adds 3S Vision Megapixel Cameras to Technology Portfolio Observint Technologies has entered into an agreement to market and distribute 3S Vision megapixel cameras, IP encoders and video surveillance technology in North America. The partnership with 3S Vision further expands Observint’s portfolio of integrated IP security solutions. Observint Technologies is also excited to announce the launch 3S Vision’s line of 5 megapixel network cameras. Available in a variety of form factors and configurations, the cameras deliver 5 megapixel resolution at 15 fps and 1080p resolution at 30 fps. Features include H.264/MJPEG dual codec and streaming capability, 3D Noise Reduction technology to filter noise in low light, digital wide dynamic range for enhanced imaging in diverse lighting environments, plus motion detection, tamper detection and privacy masking. 3S Vision video surveillance products are also compatible with major VMS platforms including Exacq, Milestone, DIGIOP, Digifort, NUUO, Video Insight (API), Genetec, Geovision, OnSSI and Solstice. http://www.RemoteMagazine.com
