video management solutions
The NET5500 Series is a high performance, single-channel to
multi-channel video encoder that integrates analog cameras and
positioning systems into an IP video surveillance system. The
NET5500 Series encoders deliver crystal clear images while
drastically reducing the network bandwidth and storage
requirements for IP video surveillance applications.
Uncompromised Performance and Image Quality
The NET5500 Series encoders are capable of compressing a single
video input into two streams, each up to D1 (720 x 480 for NTSC and
720 x 576 for PAL) and 30/25 ips. With individually configurable
streams, each channel of the NET5500 Series encoder can be
configured to meet differing bandwidth, resolution, and frame rate
requirements.
The High profile H.264 compression option delivers outstanding
picture quality at a drastically lower bandwidth. While H.264
compression provides significant bit rate savings over JPEG
compression schemes, High profile H.264 enables sophisticated
tools that further reduce bit rate while also improving picture quality
under certain scene conditions. The NET5500 Series encoders
provide Baseline, Main, and High profile H.264 compression to
optimize the cost of deploying IP video surveillance while improving
image quality.
Powerful Intelligence at the Edge
The NET5500 Series encoders are enabled for video intelligence at
the edge. The analytics capabilities included with these encoders are
Motion and Sabotage detection.
Integration for Installation Flexibility
The NET5500 Series is available in a choice of 1-, 4-, 8-, or
16-channel form factors. The 1-channel in-line and 1-channel
extended temperature versions are also available. The 1-channel inline model supports PoE, minimizing the amount of wiring needed.
The 1-, 4-, and 8-channel rack models, as well as the 1-channel
extended temperature model, also support looping video output to
allow simple connections to other analog components at the edge.
The 1-channel extended temperature version allows an expanded
range from
unique applications
Integrated audio inputs for each video input can capture audio from
various sources and associate it with the video. One alarm for each
video input and one relay output for the encoder (1-channel extended
temperature and 1-channel rack models) allows for I/O
communication with external components. The 16-channel encoder
has four relays, one for every four video ports, and the 8-channel
encoder has two relays.
