Honeywell has announced the introduction of an all-in-one network recorder (NVR). According to the firm it’s to offer a transition from traditional analogue video surveillance to digital, IP-based technology.
MAXPRO NVR SE (Standard Edition) includes pre-configured hardware, software, storage and all required licenses in one box, allowing for easier setup than conventional NVRs, it is claimed. It also includes a patented feature that allows security personnel to track individuals as they move through buildings.
“Implementing IP video surveillance has become one of the most talked-about trends in physical security, but talking about it and actually making it happen are two different things,” said Ulrich Hopfstock, Product Manager at Honeywell Security Group EMEA, which manufactures video and access control. “MAXPRO NVR SE was designed to make that transition easier with out-of-the-box functionality, with less hassle and with more features that ultimately improve security.”
Having pre-configured hardware allows MAXPRO NVR SE users to install the system without having to purchase more software or IP licenses. The NVR is the first product of its kind to offer Honeywell’s patented Video Surround feature, which allows operators to track and monitor an individual moving through a building in real time or post event. Operators can place the camera view of interest in the centre of their screens, and surrounding camera views will automatically appear around the primary one. As the individual moves from one camera view to another, the operator can click and drag the appropriate camera view to the centre and surrounding camera views will re-adjust. The system also features a unique Preview Search functionality that presents overviews of specific time frames, enabling operators to more quickly find and view video evidence in a matter of a few mouse clicks.
Because MAXPRO NVR SE is standards compliant, it integrates with larger management platforms such as MAXPRO VMS and a range of IP cameras, including Honeywell’s H.264 IP cameras.
