The Pelco NET5404T H.264 Network Video Encoder with Video Analytics (4-Channel) is a high-performance, 4-channel video encoder that integrates analog cameras and positioning systems into an IP video surveillance system. It delivers crystal clear images while drastically reducing the network bandwidth and storage requirements for IP video surveillance applications.
This video encoder is capable of compressing a single video input into 2 streams, each up to 4CIF (704 x 480 for NTSC and 704 x 576 for PAL) and 30/25 ips. With individually configurable streams, each channel of the encoder can be configured to meet differing bandwidth, resolution, and frame rate requirements. The high profile H.264 compression option delivers high picture quality at a drastically lower bandwidth, while H.264 compression provides significant bit-rate savings over JPEG and MPEG-4 compression schemes, high profile H.264 enables sophisticated tools that further reduce bit-rate while also improving picture quality under certain scene conditions. The video encoder provides Baseline, Main, and High profile H.264 compression to optimize the cost of deploying IP video surveillance while improving image quality.
With a dedicated analytics processing unit per channel, each input can be independently configured to run multiple algorithms to analyze frames of video in real time. Once configured, object and activity detection algorithms can interpret activity in the field of view and trigger an alarm when unwanted activity is detected, thus making the surveillance operator significantly more effective and efficient. The ability to run analytic behaviors at the edge reduces network bandwidth requirements in transmitting video to a central server. In addition, edge-based analytics also allow for more graceful scalability as centralized servers can introduce bottlenecks.
Integrated audio inputs for each video input can capture audio from various sources and associate it with the video. One alarm for each video input and one relay output for the encoder allows for I/O communication with external components.
The Pelco Analytics Suite enhances the flexibility and performance of the NET5404T video encoder. The video encoder is preloaded and configured for the Pelco Analytics Suite. Eight Pelco behaviors are preloaded and included as standard features. Pelco behaviors can be configured and enabled using a standard Web browser. The encoder is capable of running up to 3 behaviors simultaneously for each associated camera. No additional licensing or license activation is required. The Pelco Analytics Suite is easy to configure for alarm notification when used with Endura. The NET5404T encoder provides full access to the entire Pelco Analytics library for each channel.
The NET5404T video encoder uses a standard Web browser for powerful remote setup and administration. Live video streams can be viewed from an intuitive Web interface, and on-screen displays can be accessed directly from the Web browser for additional camera configuration. A simplified user and group management page makes user setup even easier.
The Pelco Analytics Suite is configured with an Endura system, which enables the behaviors to automatically detect and trigger alarms when specific activity is detected. Multiple Pelco analytics can be scheduled to work during a certain time or condition. For example, during the day, a camera can be configured with Object Counting to count the number of people that enter a lobby door. At the same time, Camera Sabotage and Directional Motion can also be running to detect any attempt at tampering with the camera or someone moving in the wrong direction. Further, profiles can be created and scheduled such that the behaviors on any given camera are changed throughout the day or as a result of an alarm or event trigger.
