The increasing trend in switching from analogue to IP security has led Panasonic System Networks Europe to develop the WV-ASC970 IP matrix server software and the WV-ASM970 IP control software. The firms says it’s to allow flexible, all-inclusive and hybrid systems.
WV-ASC970 IP Matrix Client Software
The WV-ASC970 allows a server PC to integrate multiple network components into one flow of data. Allowing up to 64 recorders, 64 decoders and 2048 analogue and IP cameras to be registered, security users have available a huge amount of information from the monitoring terminal.
Panasonic says its software is designed to ensure total cost of ownership is minimised by extending the life of the firm’s analogue cameras alongside IP – in a word, convergence rather than replacement. Going hybrid it’s claimed smoothes the transition process between analogue and IP as well as making varying network peripherals available from the user interface, including this software.
It allows both camera viewing and camera control for up to 512 individual user registrations with 64 simultaneous users supported at once.
WV-ASM970 IP Control Software
The WV-ASM970 client software is installed to each client PC which enhances operation and monitoring of the full security network. Multi-monitor function enables simultaneous use of the operation screen and monitoring screen for comprehensive supervision. Other viewing options allow up to 30 IP cameras to be displayed in a 16 split screen format in MPEG-4, 2mbps mode whilst providing full location information and maintaining optimised network usage. ‘Automated Status Change’ uses the monitor to display a location map when an alarm is triggered to ensure users can locate and action emergency response.
In summary WV-ASC970 IP matrix server software and the WV-ASM970 IP matrix client control software are designed the makers say to smooth the transition from analogue to IP, enhance system scalability and extend the life of a system.
