May 17, 2009 - Toshiba Surveillance & IP Network Video announced IPS Series Internet-based network video recorders (NVR). With a feature-set highlighted by a space-saving 3U chassis and support for 32 IP cameras, IPS Series makes it simple to create a networked video surveillance environment. Toshiba IPS Series NVRs are fully compatible with Toshiba IP network cameras and those of other leading manufacturers including AXIS, Sony and Panasonic. Cameras are recorded at their encoded resolution, including super high-resolution megapixel cameras, without degradation in video quality.
On-board software provides security administrators with simultaneous recording, playback and remote streaming of live video images retrievable on their remote or local PC, along with comprehensive search capabilities of archives.
Microsoft Windows XP is embedded as the operating system.To save space for other critical peripherals Toshiba IPS Series NVRs feature a sleek, black 3U chassis (5.8" x 17.25" x 19.5") that mounts into any standard rack.
In addition to a 32-channel version, IPR Series NVRs are available in 16- and 8-channel versions with optional 500 GB, 1TB or 2TB hard-drive storage. Equipped with the Intel Core™ 2 Quad 2 GHz processor, IPS NVRs efficiently handle multiple megapixel cameras simultaneously, enabling the crystal-clear recording of these bandwidth-demanding devices.The IPS is exceptionally flexible by design. It lets users define settings on a per camera basis including their resolution, motion detection, alarm recording, and frames-per-second (fps) up to 30 fps per camera. Video can be recorded from both local and global cameras via the Internet, and is stored using efficient MJPEG compression to optimize video storage space.
In addition, cameras featuring PAN/TILT/ZOOM can be remotely controllable by the IPS, bringing added versatility throughout the surveillance operation.
