Nextiva S5500 PTZ Series Overview
Nextiva S5500 PTZ Series Overview
The feature-rich Nextiva S5500 PTZ series includes 18x, 28x and 36x optical
zoom lens models for a variety of applications, as well as superior low light,
day/night performance, and excellent dynamic range for challenging lighting
conditions. Verint encoding technology delivers H.264 compression at up to D1
resolution at 30 fps. The S5500 PTZ series also features full simultaneous
analog video out and control, for live recording and seamless operation as a
retrofit or in a blended analog/IP configuration. This allows security personnel
to operate the camera with zero control lag on-site, or to remotely control the
PTZ with Nextiva Video Management Software or the Nextiva EdgeVR®
network video recorder.
Hardware Overview
The Nextiva S5500 PTZ series features programmable tilting, auto pan and
alarm inputs. The Nextiva S5500 PTZ series feature 360° continuous pan and
can burst pan at 430°/sec for programmable stops. The cameras have an
impressive 184° tilt range for viewing areas above their horizon. With up to 24
three-dimensional programmable privacy masks, the Nextiva S5500 PTZ series
combine high-performance with the recognition that not all areas the camera
can see should be seen by the operator – making the Nextiva S5500 PTZ series
the perfect urban or
city-center devices.
The Nextiva S5500 PTZ series are available in the following models:
The Nextiva S5500 PTZ series support H.264 and MJPEG. Video decoding is
supported at up to D1 at 30fps on four independent streams (3 × H.264 and 1 ×
MJPEG). In general, the performance for displaying video on monitors varies
depending on the tile layout, screen resolution, compression mode, and bitrate.
The following settings can be supported simultaneously on the two encoders
when streaming in H264 format. The Nextiva S5500 PTZ series can also stream
in MJPEG. Do not assume any improvements if those codec are used since the
Nextiva S5500 PTZ series are optimized to stream H264 as well as MJPEG.
From the indoor in-ceiling model, to the pendant-mount weatherproof outdoor
model, the Nextiva S5500 PTZ series come in a wide selection of types, housing
and mounting options to meet an array of installation and operational
requirements. The section describes the package contents of the Nextiva S5500
PTZ series and how to install the outdoor and indoor models.
