Honeywell has released a new version of its MAXPRO network video recorder (NVR). The manufacturers say that they have made the product interoperable with nearly any camera or encoder.ย
ย
MAXPRO NVR 2.0 supports ONVIF and PSIA interoperability standards, as well as real-time streaming protocol (RTSP) and features native integration to cameras and encoders from Honeywell and other manufacturers. A software-only offering lets users source their own hardware by loading the MAXPRO NVR 2.0 software onto existing servers, regardless of hardware type.ย
ย
Ulrich Hopfstock, product manager EMEA, Honeywell Security Group, said: โMAXPRO NVR 2.0 allows organisations to take advantage of advanced IP video capabilities and marks a big step toward open, third-party integration. Integrators and end users want NVR technology thatโs interoperable with a wide range of cameras, and MAXPRO NVR 2.0 can be a key to unlocking a truly open system.โ
ย
The MAXPRO NVR range includes what the makers call a box solution that offers 16 to 32 channels and software solutions that range from four to 32 channels. Customers who already have the box solution can upgrade to MAXPRO NVR 2.0 using a free download or by requesting a DVD. Users can also view and manage video remotely with devices such as the Apple iPad and iPhone using the free MAXPRO Mobile app.
ย
Aside from NVRs, the MAXPRO IP video range includes MAXPRO VMS, the companyโs flagship video management system that allows organisations to centrally manage CCTV. A variety of IP cameras support the MAXPRO family, including the Performance Series and equIP Series.

The company is also launching MAXPRO Viewer, software that allows multi-site viewing of Honeywell recorders. For more information, visit www.honeywell.com/security/uk.ย
