Sony enhances line of end-to-end security solutions

New Delhi: Sony announced the availability of the enhanced line of security solutions with the addition of three hybrid video network surveillance recording servers. The new high definition ready models include the NSR-1050H, the NSR-1100 and NSR-1200 units.

The new recording servers come with features like the ability to combine use of analogue and IP cameras on one system, full high-definition video output (1920x1080), open platform operation that supports cameras from multiple vendors and easy configuration modes and set up.

"We're answering the call from today's security professionals by providing them with complete surveillance solutions for their applications and security needs," said Amitabh Sharma, Video Security Product Manager, Sony India. "Whether the job requires strengthening the capabilities of an existing analogue camera system through the addition of intelligent IP or megapixel network cameras, or taking steps to prepare for high definition, Sony offers the right combination of technology and support required by the industry."

The NSR-1050H model supports up to 20 cameras, and is pre-installed with Sony's NSBK-A16 analogue encoder circuit board, which enables the unit to support up to 16 analogue cameras. The NSR-1100 and NSR-1200 units can support up to 32 and 64 cameras, respectively, and can also be fitted with the NSBK-A16 analogue encoder via an on-board slot. Equipped with that encoder option, the recording servers can also support up to 16 analogue cameras each.

The NSR-1050H, NSR-1100 and NSR-1200 units have internal storage of up to 0.5 TB, 1 TB and 2 TB, respectively. Each can be connected with up to seven units of the NSRE-S200 storage unit, which provides an additional 2 TB of hard-disk storage, for an additional combined storage capacity of 11 TB.

Additional features for the units include an intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) for the management of searches, previews, and video playback; the ability to interface to an uninterrupted power supply to protect data in the event of a power failure and Sony's Distributed Enhanced Processing Architecture protocol (DEPATM ), which enables the units to incorporate advanced video analytics such as intelligent motion detection.
