Description
The NET5400T Series video encoder is a network-based multichannel encoder with a built-in, Web-based viewer for live
streaming to a standard Web browser (Microsoft
®
Internet Explorer
®
or Mozilla
®
Firefox
®
). The encoder features open
architecture connectivity and is also part of an Endura
®
system to record, manage, configure, and view multiple live
streams.
The encoder supports up to three compression formats and many resolutions for each video channel. Standard
compression formats include H.264 and JPEG. Dual streams can be configured to a variety of resolutions, frame rates, and
bit rates for each attached camera.
The encoder includes 1-, 2, and 4-channel units, and some models support a full line of video analytics for object detection
and activity detection. The 1-channel models include built-in support for the Power over Ethernet (PoE) standard, 802.3af,
while the 2-channel models include built-in support for the PoE+ standard 802.3at. This technology supplies power to the
encoder through the network. If PoE is not available, the encoder is prewired for 12 or 24 VAC, and can be powered from an
optional external power supply or directly from an optional rack mount.
The main function of the NET5400T Series encoder is to convert analog NTSC or PAL video into standard definition digital
H.264 video and JPEG video streams. It transmits these streams over an Ethernet network to other Endura system
components. These streams can be recorded on an Endura Endura NSM5200 network storage manager or other Endura
storage, or they can be decoded by the following Endura components:
NET5402R-HD video decoder: Converts up to 32 video streams for display.
WS5200 software: Displays up to 32 video streams on a computer monitor or on the WS5070 Endura workstation.
VCD5200 video console display: Converts up to 32 video streams (depending on model) for display.
The NET5400T Series incorporates EnduraView
video optimization technology to select the best image quality and frame
rate for the target Endura product (decoder, workstation, or console), all without affecting the system recording rate. For
example, the unit selects a high rate and quality setting for recording and automatically selects a lower rate for viewing in
a multiple view format.
The NET5400T can be configured for one alarm input for each video channel and provides one relay output for the unit.
When an alarm event is triggered, the unit can send a message to an operator, trigger a relay, and start recording video.
The unit also supports activity detection for each video channel. You can configure up to three activity zones, each with its
own independent sensitivity and threshold settings. When the NET5400T detects activity in any of these areas, it can
trigger an alarm event.
The video encoder supports one audio input for each video channel over the network. The system operator (security
personnel) can see and hear activity in any target area in which a microphone is present.
The NET5400T supports control of remote peripherals such as pan/tilt/zoom (PTZ) cameras by way of Pelco D and
Coaxitron
®
protocols.
