Pelco Introduces First New Device in NET300 Series of Products

Clovis, CA (November 24, 2003) – Pelco is pleased to introduce the PelcoNet NET350 Series of video transmission devices. Introduced as the first in a series of IP (Internet Protocol) devices, it will make Pelco the only company in the industry to offer a comprehensive solution that allows customers to operate and integrate analog and IP devices within one system!

The NET350T (transmitter) with the NET350R (receiver) can be used with existing cabling infrastructure to provide the ability to view and control devices from across the street or around the world via network infrastructure on a LAN, WAN or even the Internet. Having a receiver available to convert the IP-based video back to an analog format is invaluable for systemization of multiple sites. It allows integration of multiple analog systems, such as multiplexers or matrices, to be connected into a cohesive worldwide application using PelcoNET as a tie-line or interconnect mechanism. Full control is achieved through a data channel that allows remote devices to be controlled from Pelco keyboards or an Internet Explorer interface.

PelcoNet NET350 Advanced IP Video Transmission System offers a tremendous amount of functionality and advanced features, including MPEG-4 – which is the newest and most effective compression standard available in the industry today – the ability to simultaneously send two IP-video streams at different resolutions and update rates, Compact Flash based local video Storage, advanced motion detection, and Audio.

Providing two separate streams is vital when multiple users want to view Video. While a local user may have the bandwidth available to view large video at full image rates, a remote user over a WAN would almost certainly prefer a reduced resolution to maximize the viewing experience over smaller bandwidth. In addition, the second stream allows recording of high-resolution images even while viewing a lower resolution stream.

The local storage option can automatically record video locally at any resolution or speed without relying on the network. Either event-based or continuous recording with pre- and post alarm can be written to a Compact Flash Card or an IBM Micro Drive (TM). Depending on the speed of the recording, resolution, and the size of the storage device, many hours can be stored without any external storage option.

Advanced video motion detection enables the storage of pre- and post-alarm video as well as provides operator notification and/or automatic connection to a receiver when motion is detected. Together with full-duplex audio functionality, these options make the PelcoNet NET350 device easily one of the most versatile products on the market.

Other features include a 10/100 base-T Ethernet port with auto selection of network speeds, which provides maximum compatibility with both of the common network speeds available today. Users also have the ability for both remote software upgrades, including codex, via the Ethernet network interface using a web browser. In addition, PelcoNet systems are NTSC/PAL selectable for domestic and international power use.
