New from Samsung Techwin is the SRN-4000 recorder which offers the ability to record in real-time the images from 64 2 Megapixel cameras.
The network recorder is able to simultaneously record and multi-stream the transmission of images at a bandwidth speed of 400Mbps. It also offers the potential to record and store, via 12 internal hard drives, video captured by 64 x 2 Megapixel cameras for up to 108 days or up to 43 days for the same number of 5 Megapixel cameras. As well as the full range of Samsung Techwin IP network cameras, the SRN-4000 also supports other manufacturers’ cameras which are ONVIF compliant.
The 12 internal hot-swappable hard drives support RAID5 and RAID6 recording which protects against unrecoverable read errors as well as whole HDD failure. The product also features an iSCSI interface giving users access to very large storage devices, if required.
The makers say that the SRN-4000’s on-screen user interface ensures that it can be configured in only four steps using the ‘Easy Setup’ wizard, while cameras can be registered without complication via a quick set up process. A local monitor output means that a separate PC is not needed to carry out any of these functions. A mouse and a monitor can be connected directly to the SRN-4000 and installers; you can then add and set up cameras.
Tim Biddulph, IP Product Manager for Samsung Techwin Europe Ltd said: “The SRN-4000 has a long list of features designed to ensure that it is highly reliable and resilient as well as easy to use and operate. Our design engineers have, for example, built in a hard drive ‘Hot Swap’ facility so that recording is not interrupted if a fault occurs, whilst power reliability is enhanced by way of a dual power supply. The SRN-4000 will continue to operate with a single power supply while the failed unit is replaced.”
The recorder enables users to find and review video of any incident by using a combination of motion detection and video analytics and metadata search options. Images can be searched by classification, such as keyword search such as ‘car’ or ‘people’, while a heat map feature lets the user statistically analyse concentrated spots of activity.
