New from American Dynamics, part of the Security Products business unit of Tyco, is VideoEdge Micro. It’s a compact version of the VideoEdge network video recorder.
It’s aimed at businesses that have satellite sites with limited space, or smaller businesses that want IP-only surveillance. An embedded PoE (Power over Ethernet) switch detects and provides power to IP cameras, while an auto-discovery feature identifies and helps to assign IP addresses to cameras on the network.
Steve Carney, Director of Video Product Line Management for Tyco Security Products, said: “Many large enterprises and intensive video users still require that same level of reliable surveillance for smaller remote sites. VideoEdge Micro fits seamlessly into the victor Client portfolio and extends powerful security to smaller parts of enterprise organisations more economically, without compromising performance.”
The Micro includes the features such as embedded analytics in the VideoEdge range such as heat mapping, dwell and linger and shelf sweep detection to gain information about their store operations and customers shopping behaviour.
The makers add that the recorder features one of the highest throughputs for a compact NVR at 80Mbps, for users to view video in real time even through narrow bandwidth connections, it is claimed. Using this dynamics bandwidth feature, the NVR can cap the amount of data sent over a LAN when sharing the connection with other devices, the makers say. Visit www.americandynamics.net.
