CCTV video webserver

19 June 2002 Electronics Technology

New on the South African market is a range of convision video webservers being pioneered by Modular Communications. In effect, this new technology is a digital video recorder, which is accessible via the Internet browser on a PC.

The V600 Series machine is ISDN and LAN ready with hard drive up to 30 GB. Six cameras can be connected to the digital recorder with alarm inputs for each camera. The V700 Series machines are available with hard drive capacities up to 320 GB per machine. Because the unit is small and compact and works off 12 V d.c., it is also suited to mobile video recording applications.

In LAN applications, the recorder can be installed in remote areas where a LAN point exists on a factory's network. Access to the video footage is gained through a PC's Internet browser on the LAN or WAN. With the ISDN facility the recorder can be accessed remotely to view factories, shops and petrol stations after hours. In the event of an alarm condition, pictures can be e-mailed in jpeg format to up to eight pre-assigned e-mail addresses. An optional SMS facility can be programmed to send alarm messages to various cellphones or control rooms.
