Take your existing Analog or Digital
Surveillance System to the Next Generation
Just as lifestyles have changed, the global
infrastructure has been rapidly changing from
analog to digital, and in accordance with this
worldwide trend, surveillance systems are also
in a state of transition. In this environment,
JVC’s VR-N900U is the ideal enterprise
solution for creating or updating an existing
surveillance system for digital networks (IP),
whether using analog, digital, or a mixture
of both. The VR-N900U has an automatic IP
camera addressing mode to make installation
as uncomplicated as analog. User-friendly
operation is assured with the pre-installed
Hybrid recording solution
With the built-in 4-channel encoder unit, VR-N900U
accepts directly both analog and IP cameras without
any additional investment. This convergence of IP and
analogue allows you to dramatically upgrade to the latest
IP surveillance system while keeping your existing
analog equipment.
XProtect Enterprise software, and the added
versatility of a unique VCR/DVR-like design
that makes it possible to control basic
functions on the front panel. The VR-N900U is
a true hybrid recorder for use in a stand-alone
system or an edge device for an XProtect
Enterprise network solution.
Up to 9 channel inputs
From a mixture of up to 4 analog and 5 IP cameras is
possible, to a total of 9 IP cameras. Using additional
VN-E4 encoders, more analog cameras can be recorded.
Motion JPEG/MPEG-4 recording
The VR-N900U supports both Motion JPEG and MPEG-4
from dedicated cameras popular in the market today.
Integration with third party devices
VR-N900U is open platform to meet customer demand,
and supports not only JVC IP cameras but also dedicated
third party IP cameras and encoder units as well.
