The Pelco NET350R converts a digital video signal coming over the network into a standard analog signal recognizable by conventional analog video equipment. Along with video and audio, this unit will also convert alarm and camera signals via its RS-232/485 serial ports. By using an IP encoder at the transmitting end and an IP decoder at the receiving end, video can be sent and received over long distances almost entirely over the network. This will allow established security facilities to take full advantage of the latest in network technology without having to replace their existing analog CCTV equipment.
