Baxall has added a Codec to its Destiny IP range of network video CCTV products.
The Destiny-IP Codec converts signals into compressed binary data, allowing it to be transmitted across an IP compatible network, such as ethernet. As a result, full-motion, real-time, video, plus audio, data and alarm signals, can be sent virtually anywhere. Such a design makes sharing cost-effective for both the installer and end-user and enables fully integrated remote monitoring when a PSTN, ISDN or DSL IP router is installed, the manufacturer says. The Destiny-IP Codec can be configured as a server (encoder) or client (decoder). As a server it can support four video inputs, which will offer up to 25 frames per second from a single camera or four or five fps from each camera (switching through each input). Using Codecs, PC users can set up all IP addresses and view and control cameras, either as a single, full screen or quad display. The software will run on any PC using Windows 98, 2000, ME and NT.
