The Samsung SRN-4000 network video recorder (NVR) has joined the list of the company’s cameras, domes, recorders and Ethernet switches within its IP network video range approved for use by Network Rail.
Confirmation that the SRN-4000 complies with the requirements for PADS certification follows a process during which it has been evaluated and comprehensively tested to ensure that it is reliable, fit for purpose and complies with Network Rail’s safety standards. The SRN-4000 offers Linux based video recording.
Features
The NVR features a built-in hard drive ‘Hot Swap’ facility which ensures that recording is not interrupted if a fault occurs. SMART drive management delivers pertinent data to help predict and manage potential drive failure. Interruptions caused by PSU failure are minimised by way of a dual power supply. Field replaceable components include power supplies, cooling fans and even the processor.
The SRN-4000 is able to simultaneously record and multi-stream images, offering 700Mbps total throughput with provision for both internal and external storage.
The makers say that a lot of thought has gone into the SRN-4000’s on-screen user interface to ensure that it can be configured in four steps using the ‘Easy Setup’ wizard. As well as the full range of Samsung IP network cameras, the SRN-4000 also supports other manufacturers’ cameras which are ONVIF compliant.
Searching
The SRN-4000 enables users to find and review video of any incident by using a combination of motion detection as well as video analytics and metadata search options. Images can be searched by classification, such as keyword search such as ‘car’, people’ or ‘train’, whilst a heat map feature lets a user statistically analyse concentrated spots of activity.
