Honeywell Fusion IV DVR
The Fusion IV is here! Honeywell’s hybrid 32 channel recorder has set a standard that will get the market place talking for some time. Not just an analogue DVR,the Fusion IV is equally at home recording IP cameras; Being Hybrid the unit bridges the gap between analogue and digital and has plenty of features to boot. The fusion IV is not just for recording either it can transmit up to 32 channels of analogue or IP video sources, and up to 16 channels of audio. POS/ATM text data can also be transmitted to provide an overall Ip video surveillance solution.
Devices that can be easily connected into the Fusion IV includes IP cameras, network encoders and megapixel cameras. Fusion IV also offers up to 32 channels of hybrid (analogue and/or IP) camera support. The hybrid DVR fully embraces H.264 video compression across all the inputs meaning reduced file sizes and longer recording times.
Multi-tasking of simultaneous operations including network cameras, megapixel cameras, point of- sale, video analytics and more are included in the Fusion IV portfolio. Dual video ports have also been added. Windows® XP is the preferred embedded operating system, and network security and firewall protection is a prerequisite, this also eliminates the need to format DVDs before back up. Hard drives can be easily replaced from the front panel meaning field replacement of hard drives is easy and efficient.
IP and megapixel camera technologies are now seen as the future of video surveillance systems and drive the need for new the functionality offered by the Fusion IV DVR. Fusion IV is ideal for systems requiring transition to IP from analogue to maximise the cost-savings benefits associated with IP networking. By using H.264 compression recording the unparalleled image clarity using megapixel cameras is now perfectly possible. Many businesses will find the benefits of the fusion IV will fit seamlessly into their security operation and the hybrid functionality offers unparalelled options.

Panasonic WJ-NV200 video surveillance solution
Panasonic has now launched the WJ-NV200 network disc recorder. This will further help enhance the iPro range. The key benefit of the unit is the ability to use facial recognition technology, a feature that is becoming more and more popular. Offering HD video quality and smart analytics capability is also a feature of all the i-PRO SmartHD cameras and recorders . The WJ-NV200 provides an advanced, cost-effective IP video surveillance solution to suit the widest possible range of applications. Being a Hybrid NVR it also provides seamless operation and compatibility between analogue and IP cameras. This makes the product suitable for integration into legacy systems and enhances installation simplicity.
Full training is available on the product and this ensures that from system design to final commissioning all considerations can be taken into account to ensure a seamless installation.
WJ-NV200 benefits and features

ACTi ACD- 2400 video encoder
ACTI ACD-2400 video encoder.
The ACTI video encoder is a 16 way MPEG4 1U unit It looks sleek and well built and makes up just one more component in what is now an extensive range of products from the ACTI corporation.
Each channel of analogue video can be converted to IP at 25 FPS at full D1 resolution, in addition each channel boasts 2 way audio and video motion detection. With digital inputs and outputs and serial control ports for PTZ again per channel. ACTi have produced an encoder that fits well into a scenario that requires a hybrid CCTV solution.
Protocols included to allow PTZ control include Pelco-D and Pelco-P Sony VISCA and American Dynamics also with regard to integration we can confirm the encoder is fully compatible with all ACTi software and there is an SDK available on request.
In order to to access the browser on the unit you will require Microsoft Internet explorer 6.0 or something newer.
So as we build on the portfolio of ACTi products we can see that by producing a 16 way encoder they are looking to create a situation for installers to start to create hybrid CCTV systems and use ACTi IP cameras as well.
