Encoder, hybrid recorder launched

by Mark Rowe

New from the IP video product company March Networks, its 6700 Series hybrid network video recorders (NVRs) and the Edge 4e encoder, pictured. The firm says its products support a transition to high-definition (HD) IP video and business intelligence applications, while providing browser-based video management. The 6700 Series recording platform incorporates privacy masking and other privacy protection features to meet varying surveillance guidelines across Europe.

Net Payne, Chief Marketing Officer, March Networks, said: “These latest additions to our portfolio make it easier for customers to deploy advanced IP video solutions sooner and more affordably. They support capabilities that deliver practical business benefits to an organisation, and incorporate industry-first features that save customers and channel partners service costs in the field.”

Hybrid NVR

Initially available in 16 and eight-channel models, the 6700 Series recording platform supports any combination of analog and IP cameras up to a maximum of 16 IP cameras. Its H.264 video compression ensures HD video and sharp analogue image capture without increasing storage it is claimed.

Designed with channel partners in mind, each 6700 Series Hybrid NVR comes with a unique QR code on the front panel. Technicians working at a customer site can scan the code using March Networks’ free GURU smartphone application to access product information and utilities, such as on-the-spot troubleshooting, warranty status and express return material authorisations. The application is compatible with iOS and Android devices and can the firm says reduce the time and effort required to service systems in the field.

The rack-mounted 6716 R Hybrid NVR includes March Networks’ docking-station design, which according to the company further streamlines maintenance by allowing camera cables to remain in place when servicing is needed.

The 6700 Series recorders are fully managed with the March Networks Command video management system (VMS) and its browser-based client – one of the only thin software clients able to support complete system configuration and administration in addition to live and archived video access. Other features available with the 6700 solution include interactive mapping, smart card and USB token authentication, and the ability to set user permissions down to the camera level and hourly timeframe.

Encoder

The new Edge 4e, a four-channel encoder, enables organisations to convert video from analogue cameras into digital video running on an IP video network. The device works with Command VMS installed on March Networks hybrid NVRs or industry-standard servers. It offers full frame rate resolution (25 fps PAL / 30 fps NTSC), H.264 and M-JPEG compression streams for bandwidth efficiency, and can stream all four channels in parallel to an optional internal SDHC card for enhanced redundancy.

The encoder requires one license for all four video channels.

March Networks demonstrated the products at IFSEC International, June 17-19, in London. For more, visit www.marchnetworks.com/IFSEC.
