GJD, the manufacturer of electronic perimeter detection and LED illumination equipment, has launched its IPAnything module (IPA). The IPAnything is an input/output controller, which is designed to convert any type of analogue sensor to an IP system, or vice versa.
The IPAnything, pictured, is built in a compact, heavy duty waterproof housing, and powered by PoE. It is fitted with a 12V/24V DC socket to power the sensor, four alarm inputs, three relay outputs and an analogue input, for handling all types of equipment, the developers say.
The product allows the installer to create individual network alarms to connect video management systems (VMS), IP cameras or other network devices. It also enables the installer to monitor and control alarm sensors, sirens, gates and lights. Its web based user interface is an intuitive way for installers to configure network alarms for integration with VMS software, or direct control of cameras.
Installers can add IP devices onto an analogue based security or home automation system. According to the product firm this means a cost effective way to future-proof a site as new actions can be created and adjusted over the network. And you can add IP products onto the network.
Greg Stuttle, Business Development Manager at GJD said: “The IPAnything is an extremely useful device. It has proved itself to be a very versatile product as it is a problem solver for projects that require analogue equipment to be converted on to an IP system.”
The Power over Ethernet the makers describe as more cost effective and environmentally friendly than connecting to mains power. PoE provides reduced overhead costs from the reduction of power outlets required per installed device. And reduced cabling on site makes the installation look neater.
