The VN-7551P IP camera /Server has been launched by Vicon in response to what the manufacturer calls the growing demand for video over IP solutions.
The camera has an integral video server that is equipped with a 100Mbps LAN interface board for direction connection to a network, the makers report. With four video channels the product provides for images from up to three additional analogue cameras to be remotely monitored and recorded.
When used as a single channel IP camera, it delivers up to 30 frames per second of DVD quality video across the network for remote viewing and recording, the makers say. With the additional external analogue cameras connected, the camera is able to transmit at 15 frames per second. The product supports museum search, motion detection, alarm reporting and configuration and macro operation through the ViconNet software interface. The manufacturer’s proprietary compression based on MPEG4 maximises picture quality at all times, the firm claims.
